To return the mandate before they tear down your door. To sign your resignation there, where yesterday you gave orders. Then to rise. The chair remains*. You take your name with you—the name of someone who refuses to kill children. That is resignation!

Even if you believe your path is the right one, do not cling to power by force. Your conviction does not make power your property. Respect those who no longer want you at Albania’s helm.

De Gaulle heard the “no” and stepped down. Mandela did not seek a second term. Their departure did not erase their legacy, which outlived them partly because they knew when to leave. For you, that moment is now!

There comes a moment when victory is measured by what you refuse to do to remain in power. If you will not do it for your people, do it for yourself, to preserve a ray of light within you!

Leave of your own accord, at your own pace.

They will not let you leave? The fact remains: death is more bitter after you have sown death, and hatred with it. Do not fall into that abyss!

Dictatorship has left names that are still spoken in hushed voices. Its return will not be forgiven…

We are a small nation! No life lost will be forgiven.

There is still time: resign!

Resignation is not defeat when keeping your position means losing yourself.
