Gjekmarkaj: In September we expect a heated political war, the main file for Ilir Meta
The deputy of the Democratic Party, Agron Gjekmarkaj, has spoken about what is expected to happen in September with Albanian politics.
In a link to the "Opinion" column in News 24, Gjekmarkaj said September is expected to bring a heated political war. While referring to the accusations against the head of the PL, Ilir Meta, who is an associate of the former State Security, Gjekmarkaj said that there are three scenarios about the event.
Gjekmarkaj asked Meta to place the government with its shoulders against the wall in order not to accuse a politician.
"In September we expect a heated political war because even summer was not peaceful. The main event was the accusations against the former president Ilir Meta for a file and the Security, an event that deserves analysis. Three scenarios are possible: There is no file, which I tend to believe because we are in the environment of blackmails that even make a man pregnant, the second is that the file has been manipulated and the third is a file where there may or may not be a cooperation with the Security.
Meta should put its shoulders to the wall of the government so that no politician is accused again. Meta has the resources that the file does not exist or is manipulated. In September, the majority brings the law on collaborators to the stage. There is no deputy who would allow himself to vote against such a law, the issue is that the opposition demands that the bill be paid not only by the collaborators but also by the employees of the Security.
I do not rule out the possibility that it is all designed to reduce Meta's momentum after the end of the president's term, because if it was with a different approach to the government this could be kept in the drawer or it would not be created if it was not. Meta is an old political player with his followers who knows how to do his politics and has appeared very aggressive.
He needs not to make political statements, but to find a way to let the government do something like that. Truth is like a ray of sunlight that passes through glass without breaking it. It must be verified that this file does not exist or has been tampered with. Political statements are not solutions.
In September, anything can happen. I don't see a technical government imminent, but if there are major forces and a large protest force, this can happen. It depends on the cohesion and its gathering and striking power of the opposition. We are still in the stage of political declarations. I expect there will be protests. In our country, there is a lot to protest, about the way the country is misgoverned, about the overload of power and how the government administers it. The issue is how much the opposition will motivate the protest so that the government feels that the end is coming", he said.
