TIRANA/KAZM?/BERLIN – The Taulantische Zeitung news agency announced yesterday that former German Chancellor Angela Merkel took the first bus on the Berlin-Tirana line, the 5 am one, to respond to the public invitation made by Socialist MP Taullau Bau a few days ago.
We recall that Bau, together with the Mayor of Kazma, Rakips Uli, recently visited the renovated 9-year school in Kazma, which bears Merkel's name.
The Albanian Telescopic Agency even reported that Taullau and Rakipsi “inspected” the school in question, meaning that they measured the thickness of the plaster, whether it was according to the parameters; the quality of the plastic paint, the type of lamps and sockets and the brand of the chairs. Sources from the scene claimed that Taullau even ordered the replacement of a batch of chalk for the blackboard, as they were not according to EU standards, and caught a works foreman by the ear because the school bell did not ring in the minor re.
As part of this inspection visit, Taullau addressed the cameras and conveyed live to Mrs. Merkel, the irresistible invitation to visit Kazma and her new school:
"Anxhi, don't run here. I'll take you from Tirana to Kazem in my car. You're a pensioner, what are you going to do all day?"
The invitation was also reinforced by Mayor Uli, who with his proverbial eloquence added:
"For God's sake, as much meat and brandy as you need! Come on, let's have a good time!"

This was the reason why Angela Merkel, who only watches Albanian channels, immediately responded to Taullau's invitation. It is now known that for 24 hours, the photo of the trio of Taullau, Angela and Rakipsi has been published in all the main media of Bubq, Fushë-Krujë and Mamurc, eclipsing even the news about the Jaran war and the blockade of the Karpuz Strait.
But what is not known is that Taullau is not the first to directly invite the characters who name the various educational institutions in the country. The problem is that the scheme has not always worked.
A short time ago, on the occasion of the inauguration of the "23 Martyrs" school in the village of Majtas, in the commune of Djathtas, he did not hesitate to invite the 23 martyrs to be present at the opening of this school, but for unknown reasons, he did not receive a response.
However, Taullau did not lose heart. After the complete renovation of the kindergarten with the "Little Princess" lunch, he invited the princess to be present at the opening ceremony, but the latter flatly refused: "I am no longer a princess, you fool! Didn't you know that I am divorced?"
He also received no response when, after inspecting the "Pinoku" kindergarten, he wrote on social media that he would feel honored if Pinoku himself visited the new kindergarten. A strange silence was also maintained by Konstandin Kristoforidhi, Abdyl Frashëri, Fan Noli and Luigj Gurakuqi, making Taullau feel offended.
However, things changed for the better when the Socialist Party decided to open the Academy of Young Leaders. Someone suggested to Taulla that they call the academy “Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves,” with the following convincing reasoning:
"You don't need to invite Ali or the 40 thieves because they're in the party!"
Note: Now you understand why Patronazhisti as a satirical column has chosen this name. We don't need to work hard to find a patronazhisti for our inaugurations: Three out of five Albanians are like that
