Letter from cell no. 6/ Salianji: Rilindja seeks the greatness of Edi Rama, the

By Ervin Salianji

The daily chronicle makes it not easy to find some differences and peculiarities in what could be the essence of the campaigns of the two main political forces in the country. What is clear so far is that Rilindja, the socialists, are also seeking a fourth mandate simply for Rama's personal project, for an idea that comes from the mental distortion from being in power for a long time, which has to do with his greatness.
Edi Rama only seeks to feed his ego, and that is where all the fears he has of losing power and also all the hopes for more privileges and benefits come in.
If you look at his priorities, they are related to concessions, high-rise buildings, PPP with the distribution of every piece of Albania. Where he undoubtedly manages financial interests.
All this has started with a large manufacturing for the creation of his myth, where many elisa have been misused, sometimes calling him an international brand, sometimes Skanderbeg, Zeus, sometimes Odysseus. When, in fact, the real one is the "babloku" of the Bild wiretaps.
And to further grow and nourish this myth, where people talk about the extraordinary dimensions of the leader, the superman now also needs objects, buildings and facades where his whim can be reflected.
This is all that remains of the politics and ideology of the ruling caste after 3 mandates. The man, the citizen, the farmer, the pensioner, the professional, the young man, the student, the family man, does not exist.
To keep this false cult charged, he has been investing himself recently. The stories of others about him, add water. They are no longer enough and do not convince the renaissance women who weave ditirambas.
So he came out and spoke for 1 hour about himself a few days ago. A story that no one asked him for, nor does anyone need it. An attempt to show that since he is heterosexual, unlike how they have insulted and stigmatized him, he is also honest. Come on, come on.
He has understood that the half-man and half-god is only for his ministers, and that the people think something completely different.
Therefore, a final investment is needed. And he is asking for another mandate for this. Look at how he acted with pensioners. Instead of increasing what they are entitled to receive, he gives them as a bonus from his own hand. To make him look like the "Savior".
Meanwhile, he spends 5 billion lek from citizens' taxes on a personal garden for the prime minister, so that he looks like a giant when he gives interviews, from another world.
Great deformations of an autocrat who needs more power, privileges, greatness and worship. When in reality he should be accountable to the law for all his criminal affairs and connections.
This personal toy of Rama, this kaleidoscope where he refracts his images, this country that he seeks to transform into a mere surface for his appearance, a Narcissus who never leaves his chair, is not Albania. There are other problems, many in fact.
And it is very positive that the Opposition has a completely different course. It is all focused on the person. On his daily life, on the effort that almost half of the population makes to make ends meet, to pay the bills and to meet basic needs.
Misery is one of the reasons why the autocrat is struggling in his perverse reality. Getting out of this situation would empower the citizen, and in front of a rehabilitated citizen there is no place for oppressors and rulers.
The emergency package proposed by the DP is a combination of several measures that would truly eradicate poverty.
They seem like courageous interventions, but undoubtedly if they have a financial bill, it is all worth it.
Getting past the situation where the month barely ends for a part of the population is liberation from a violent captivity. Only after having secured this threshold, someone will start to think, to aspire, to demand more, to raise their voice, to protest, not to allow bad governance, and thus to contribute to society and the country.
The return of such a large segment of our society, from oppressed and vulnerable to vital parts, is undoubtedly the greatest regeneration of this stunted social body in 3 mandates.
The Opposition's focus on the citizen, on his size, on his skin seems both credible and true. Even before, in its history, the DP has shown that the greatest acts undertaken have been done for the citizen.
Therefore, I see it as a positive development and I encourage this course.
Perhaps with the approach of May 11, Edi Rama will also try to leave for a moment the delirium of his personal greatness, under the advice of electoral consultants, and return to being a man of the people. But it will not happen. It will seem artificial.
These two worlds that are facing each other today make it easy for the 3.7 million Albanians with the right to vote to choose.
A vote for the increase in Edi Rama's personal power, for the glorification of his greatness with dozens of storey towers and millions of euros, with his behavior as a global leader and with grotesque gestures like alla-meloni. Or a vote for your troubles?!
