Who are those who ask Berisha 'hey, can you beat Rama ?! ”

Alfred Lela

Sali Berisha, and those who share with him the idea that the opposition should become stronger, are constantly under the truss that comes out of a double axis: can it beat "America" ​​and can it beat Edi Rama ?!

This editorial will endeavor to address the latter, to dwell on a later ordeal of the former. Defeating Rama is, of course, a request and exigency of the electoral bands where Berisha is included with the Democratic Party, but where they are not the only ones. There are many social groups that see as unhealthy for Albania the extension of the left on the couch of power mandates. There are critics of Rama and Berisha who are part of here, but most, it must be said, come from the left or are related, in one way or another, to power. Introduce here the classic anti-Berishists, to whom the Doctor could react with the saying of Julio Andreotti 'blame me for everything since the Punic Wars.

In this regard, the persistent question 'can you beat Rama?' is dishonest, both intellectually and logically. Intellectually, those who do it are, since September, in an open political and discourse war with Sali Berisha. The same people told us with their fingernails that Berisha has no chance to win; no one in Albania (nor the world) who goes against America and can not be validated electorally; if Berisha wins on March 6, I will do this and that, and others, and others.

What happened is that Berisha won by defeating those who politically opposed him within the party, as well as that part of the commentary that placed bets on March 6, where the armored team won and not the Freedom House underdog. But it is not in positioning where intellectual dishonesty is found. Everyone has the right to take sides and argue why they are against this or that. Avoidance begins when they remove themselves from the battle and pretend they had no finger or job in it. Not wanting to admit that Berisha defeated them, this part of politics or political commentary, they quickly invent an opponent in the form of Goliath, who is Edi Rama. Hey, can David beat Goliath? they ask like a herd of cinderellas.

They forget to say that even their trust in the other Goliath "ambassador Kim" fell on March 6. Their surprise when the ambassador made the famous status with the call to vote for Basha's candidates, was not heard in public.  

Those who built Berisha's lost construct on March 6, forget the logic of the most important. Until that date, the former prime minister was busy fighting them. In which he proved with political action that he has the majority of support in the DP. Now on the path of the leader of the Democrats lies the next battle, which is to put an order at home, to rebuild the construct of the new leadership of the DP, from the district branches to the central bodies.

The third step, can not be other than opening and extending to society. Berisha needs to, literally, open the Democratic Party, even physically, by introducing it to the city and the city to it.

Sali Berisha left a party demoralized by the loss and consumed by power in 2013. A few weeks ago he took over a fallen and comatose party.

The time of the debate 'can you beat Rama?' will come. Those who have been asking this question for months and now, seem to be no more than witnesses of the desire that he never be defeated.
