Edi Rama's lengthy speech, 85 minutes of trying to iron the wrinkled government suit that the Socialist Party has been wearing for these ten years, produced nothing new. Followers of politics know that Rama vents his political frustrations and those of the force he leads with rhetoric.

That's what happened yesterday. The lion's share of Chavez's speech was taken by tourism, an animal that fell into Rama's political lap, not by programming, but by chance. And it is known that coincidences, just as they bring things, also take them away as if they had never been. Intelligently, the Prime Minister understood that there was no better tale to tell the Albanians than this summer's tourist boom.

What needs to be clarified is that while tourists did come, we do not know of any platform for tourism that the Rama government has presented to explain the boom. We can also take the opposite as accurate, admit (well done the government!) that two months brought us x million tourists, but what does that solve? Cuba also has tourism, but it is a country in misery.

Rama needed tourism to cover the government's inability in all other areas.

Rama did not stop or mention any significant milestones with which he aimed for power in 2013.

It imposed a national burden on tourism that the geography of Albania and its short history, in terms of infrastructural hospitality and not in anthropo-folkloric generosity, cannot bear. The Prime Minister's tirade on tourism begs for a comparison: those who come to Albania for a few days and those who leave the country for a few years or forever: Albanians.

A prime minister who would not confuse visions with fata morganas would discuss this rapport. How do we get out of this blockade? That argument with the Englishman, who brings the statistics that Britain is the first in house burglaries and Albania is the last, is a cold reminder of a paradox. Perhaps those who flee from the government of Rama in the homeland of the Englishman do this work (the burglaries) - until they find a real job. But, in the end, it doesn't matter who steals the houses, but who steals the big house, Albania.

The other big topic of Mr. Rama, the justice system that has halved his government, and despite this, he remains proud of it, is a paradox.  

But, just like tourism, this is also a cover-up argument. Rama is trying to introduce into public discourse what Peron, the Argentine dictator, presented as justicialismo. But this is a topic for another article. For today, we can end where Rama left off in the third part of the speech. After tourism and judicialism, he spoke...about himself. Ramachismo as a form of governance and being.
