Politics of Albania Political parties Elections

The Lëvizja Bashkë (lit. 'Together Movement') is a left-wing political party based in Albania.^[1] It was founded on 18 December 2022^[3] by members and activists of what was formerly known as Organizata Politike (lit. 'the Political Organization', OP). The transformation into a political party aimed to extend the activity of the organization in the domain of electoral politics.

Movement Together was the initiator of the movement Universiteti në Rrezik (University in Danger), which aimed protecting public education and its emancipating values, when the ruling centre-right Democratic Party tried to pass a clientelist law of higher education^[4] and later Lëvizja Për Universitetin (The University Movement), when the new government of the centre-left Socialist Party tried the same only some months after winning the elections.^[5] On 18 December 2022, the activists of Organizata Politike decided to rebrand the party as Lëvizja Bashkë.^[6]

Organizata Politike was founded on 21 January 2011.^[7] The name Organizata Politike came as a way to express the absence of politics in other political subjects in Albania and the aim to make politics, considering that the political parties don't really make politics, just fight for power and wealth of a narrow group of people.

It unites bodies and minds aiming radical social transformation, based on equality, participation and freedom and it tries to reach its aims through politicising social matters and through organizing people, especially the most exploited classes, under emancipating forms of participation, militant-ism, action and discussion.

Lëvizja Bashkë's principles aspire a combination of engagement and awareness elements of direct democracy with coordinated action that stems from political delegation. During these years, the movement has been engaged in different events, like manifestations on International Workers' Day, support and solidarity to miners, textile industry workers, oilmen, Romani People and many others in need.

In different cultures birds have symbolized freedom during history. They can be found on flags and in myths basing on which communities were built. Since early in history they've represented literature, music, visual arts, but also towards symbolism of new battles against political, economic and social injustice.

Thus, Lëvizja Bashkë thought of the Red Robin – Erithacus Rubecula – as a symbol of freedom and resistance in the wide horizon of ideas. Not as a powerful and aggressive bird of rough heights without oxygen, rather than a small, hard-working, nimble bird, tightly connected to its territory, that resists the winter singing while never leaving. The robin represents the movement's organizational and political worldview best in a frosty Albania - which is quickly depopulating from emigration, especially the young: to be robins, to stay here (in Albania), to resist, to live vigorously and sing, by working day after day, every day for a fairer and democratic society.^[8]

Lëvizja Bashkë is an organization consisting of activists and members, the only difference between the first and the latter being fully active and only partly active, respectively. Because the party's activities affect day-to-day decision making, activists take part in weekly assemblies, while members take part in monthly assemblies.

The organization's highest decision-making body is the Assembly of the Activists. Other decision-making bodies are workgroups depending on the needs of the organization.
