When Berisha "wears" Lulzim Basha's shoes

In the months that created the plot of the attacks and after the departure of Lulzim Basha from the Democratic Party, a comparative method took shape, which basically aimed to point out how different Sali Berisha is with his heavy shadow and his roaring voice, from the student. his "beast" Lulzim Basha. The doctor keeps his word, Luli does not know at all what the word is kept, Berisha is a man who weighs what he says, Luli is a butterfly that we have endured (without even realizing it!) For about eight years at the top of the party. The comparison in question further said that when the Doctor picks up the microphone, the Socialists hide like rats, while Luli shared the money with them and got rich when we were out of work (in fact Berisha is not poor at all, as the young lawyer who went to the meeting with civil society). The comparison was further pushed to the posture, the look,

However, here is the opportunity to put this comparative method between Berisha and Basha in a serious test on July 7. We will have a national protest, called by the leader of the Democratic Party and all the opposition after him! As Luli protested, so will Berisha. Buses full of people will arrive, squares will rumble in the middle of the heat, journalists and cameramen with cameras in their arms will rush in, drones will rise in the air and Spanish and Swedish tourists will roll their eyes in astonishment as they wander between Skanderbeg Square and the ice cream boulevard in hand. The opposition will make the next parade in front of the office of its most sworn enemy, surrounded by a chain of female police officers who seem to have descended from the Cosmos in that environment full of sweat, screams and banal swearing.

Beyond this semi-artistic description, July 7 has within it a message and a great challenge at the same time, which again have to do both with the Berisha-Basha comparison: first the new Berisha DP (how paradoxical is this phrase inside ), will be baptized in a public protest, where militants will have the opportunity to blow the whistle against the government without "traitors" in the middle.

Secondly, the challenge lies in the fatal rage that even this time the opposition will not be able to overthrow the government, even though it has been promising this for nine years. It will be a protest like all the others, despite the new leader on the podium. This challenge is the real nightmare of Sali Berisha and Ilir Meta from September onwards. It is the challenge where Lulzim Basha had capitulated many, many times together with Berisha, Kryemadhi and others, all in the square dragging the ranks of protesters with stones, spears and all sorts of other things, against the government building. The doctor knows the taste of returning home with the taste of the train lost at the station. Because he has been himself in all the protests of the last nine years.

On July 7, Berisha wears Luli's shoes. He enters the long season of efforts to remove Rama from power, knowing from the beginning that he opposes both history and the present. It will be the next opposition leader who will demand the overthrow of this majority. The season of protests that will probably continue more intensively after September, is the nine-year lane where Lulzim Basha stepped and where he failed, with his failed Tent campaigns, mandates and many other attempts to take power through the streets.

Like Lulzim Basha, but from different positions and for different reasons, Sali Berisha's path to power seems like a mirage in the desert. And the protests will indirectly prove this axiom of the last decade, as it is very difficult to destabilize Edi Rama. When several thousand schoolchildren and students toppled half of the Rama 2 government on Durrës Street, the power of that act lay in the fact that politics was kept relatively far away and the message of the youth hit the mark. The appearance on the streets of Berisha and Meta brings with them in the protest square their political interests, their past as 30-year-old leaders of this country, brings dramas and painful events related to them. Therefore, their protest has been stalled since the beginning of time.

Berisha's descent to the field is in itself an anti-historical development for the Albanian political life, which has the first effect of blocking the process of rotation of the ruling elites. With Berisha, the politician from the distant year '91 in the square, Edi Rama who sees the tyranny from the window of the prime minister's office, has every right of the world to think that it is still early to leave politics, while with 20 short career years behind him, normally he too should be thinking about retirement. Berisha in the square protesting against the political elite, corruption and crime, is a big blow to all those who do not want this government and this prime minister, but who do not want the partitocracy that is breathing the country. The gray electorate feels even gray now that a 78-year-old kidnaps the baton of the war against the majority.

July 7 is again a protest that carries with it self-restraint and skepticism. Because in the genesis there is a protest that has as its cause the correction of the "anti-American" biography of the opposition leader, and not the prices, the economic crisis, the salaries, the corruption of the government. If Lulzim Basha provoked the same end of the protests, ie their failure, with his innate political apathy and anemia, Sali Berisha will lead water to the same source, falling from the path of radicalism, savagery and above all the report of broken that has with Americans. It is like reaching the same destination by following two different paths.
