Elisa Spiropali has already entered a path from which there is no turning back.
She could have remained silent and not spoken, as everyone in the Socialist Party is doing, after the "Balluku" case, when Rama openly threatened the Socialists that he would "mutilate" them if they did not line up in support of the former deputy prime minister accused of favoring tenders.
Many of them don't want to speak out, but rather lack the courage to do so.
And it's not their fault, because it's not easy to stand up to a prime minister like Edi Rama, who claims to possess the truth and will impose it on others, even through repressive methods and threats.
But Spiropali, unlike anyone else, is doing this, and with dignity even.
Even risking his own career within the Socialist Party.
That career, which Rama claims he forgave her, but which with her attitudes, Spiropali is showing that she deserved.
It should be understood that Spiropali's stances are not a personal challenge to Edi Rama.
They are a cry for the fate of the Socialist Party, which seems to have linked its fate with Edi Rama (and Balluku).
As the Democratic Party did, with Sali Berisha.
And we know how things went for the DP.
The same thing risks happening to the Socialist Party, if it remains silent and simply obeys without reasoning or logic.
Of course, Spiropali's criticisms probably cannot shake or overthrow Edi Rama's government.
But it is showing that even such power can be opposed and that not everyone will remain silent for a seat as an MP or minister, being servile and humiliated.
And you are doing a great service to the Socialist Party by not remaining silent about a model of imposing thought through violence and fear.
A party dies when it blindly and silently obeys a leader who will protect his power at all costs, perhaps even corruption (the Balluku case).
Therefore, Spiropali's disobedience, more than for Rama, is a challenge for other socialists, those who have dignity and love this party, so that the Socialist Party does not end up in a state party, where everyone thinks and acts like the president.
But also for Albanian politics, where everyone has become slaves to the president!
Shamefully, it shouldn't have been like this and things should have evolved for the better.
Not to mention, but remember how Fatos Nano left the SP when he left?
A party where people talked, debated, and revolted, without fear that the president would retaliate.
As is happening today, this voice of Elisha is the only one heard, in the desert of socialist silence!
