The full post
Today Dorjan Buraku came to my office. Dori, as we call him, came with nobility, with sincerity, and with a weight of concern on his mind.
He told me that after the meeting with Prime Minister Edi Rama, a flood of comments and insults had poured down on him. They had targeted his physical condition, but what hurt him most was the attempt to drag his dignity through the mud. They called him bought, as if his convictions and his word had a price.
Amid all that bitterness, he asked me for only one favor: to say from the Parliament rostrum that Dorian Buraku is an honest man. That he is neither bought nor sold.
He spoke to me about the protest he had taken part in, the concerns that had led him there, and his readiness to go out again if things are not fixed. With the same freedom, he had chosen to meet the Prime Minister. Because Dori thinks for himself, decides for himself, and has the courage to say when something is not right.
This freedom belongs to him, just like to any other citizen. No one has the right to deny it to him or to humiliate him for the choices he makes. Some of those who insult him would do well to listen. They would learn from him what it means to have the courage of your own opinion and not to put your dignity up for sale.
Dori, I give you my word that I will speak from the Parliament rostrum about your honesty, your dignity and your manhood. And I will keep it. Your voice deserves to be heard. And it deserves respect without having to ask anyone for it.
