When karma is really "bitch"

Agron Shehaj and Ylli Manjani

Personally, I wish Agron Shehaj to enjoy and inherit his wealth. I have nothing against it, on the contrary, that an Albanian is rich. May the rich Albanians prosper as much as possible. Albania is not impoverished by the wealth of its citizens; on the contrary, it only benefits when people are created who build, invest and produce wealth.

The problem does not arise from wealth. The problem arises when someone turns the wealth of others into an object of political hatred, while treating their own as a divine exception.

This is where karma begins.

Because you can't spend all your time labeling others as "oligarchs," "corrupt," "drug addicts," just because they have money, and then be surprised when the same method is used against you. You can't turn the question "where did he get the money?" into your political weapon and then complain when that weapon is pointed in your face.

This is karma in its most classic sense: what you sow, you reap.

The case of Agron Shehaj illustrates it better than any theory. An MP, a businessman, who claims to represent the right, but who has long since built a political discourse where business is always suspicious, the entrepreneur is potentially guilty, and private wealth should be judged by public opinion rather than protected by the law.

This is a great paradox. You cannot claim to be right-wing while using the most worn-out vocabulary of the radical left towards capital and entrepreneurship.

In fact, the question “Where did he get the money?” is not a legal question. It is a question for those who are simultaneously the police, the prosecutor, and the judge. It is the typical question of permanent revolutionaries who do not expect evidence, but are content with suspicion.

It's a question we inherited from communist propaganda. It's enough to remember Jaho Labi in the Kinostudio films, who demanded with ideological naivety to know "where a waiter found the money" to build a club. It was the logic according to which wealth was, in itself, proof of guilt.

When you use this logic to hit others, you no longer have the moral right to complain when it comes back like a boomerang.

Because now many people are asking Agron Shehaj the same question that he has asked others: "And you, where did you find so much money?"

Is this right?

No.

It's unfair, it's undignified, and it's a dirty way to have a public debate. Prying into someone else's property, without proof of illegality, is lynching. It's human vileness. No one should be publicly punished just because they have money.

But for this very reason, he shouldn't have done this to others either.

Because a politician who is a businessman himself should have been the first to defend the principle that private property is not a crime. That the burden of proof does not lie with the citizen, but with the state, that is, with the state prosecutor, not the deputy. That the law does not operate on envy, but on facts.

In a free society, a man is not obliged to give an account to the crowd for having become rich. He is obliged to give an account only to the law. And the law does not ask by guesswork; the law demands proof.

The principle is simple: people have the right to get rich. In most cases, those who create the most wealth are also the best at what they do. This applies to Agron as well.

Of course, exceptions exist, and when wealth is the product of crime, the response should be investigation, trial, and punishment, not slander, envy, or the trial of the mob. Much less the political trial of those elected to Parliament.

The idiotic question "how did he get rich?" cannot be a substitute for justice.

But the question "how did you become an MP, i.e. how much money did you pay", when they ask someone else, why shouldn't they ask you too?! The stereotype of an MP who comes from business is that he pays... That's how this stereotype was created. So if you scratch someone else's itch, they'll scratch you too.

So be careful with the weapons you choose in politics. Because they don't stay in your hand forever. One day someone else will take them.

And then there is nothing left but to face what you have sown.

Because karma doesn't forget.

And, sometimes, it's really a bitch.
