The 'champion minister' loses in the end

The 'champion minister' loses in the end

Saimir Tahiri has convinced Edi Rama, he has met Barack Obama (but also 'Durin from Fushë-Kruja'), he has arrested Emiliano Shullazi and, with the latter, he can share the airing hours in one of the prisons of Albania.

In the end, the curse of the Albanian Interior Ministers, who have ruled briefly and suffered for a long time, has not been shared with him either. From Koçi Xoxe, and onwards to the most recent, the Ministers of Interior of Albania have eaten each other's heads or eaten their heads.

This has been talked about recently in Tirana. Did Tahiri, acting foolishly, let his head fall, or did someone need Saimir's head to keep him stuck in the triumphant hurricane of the efficiency of the new justice?

It seems that both by little.

The boy who started it with shorts on the political paths of the "Qemal Stafa Foundation", quickly became one of the most important of the SP. Edi Rama introduced him to the government in 2013 and called him 'champion minister' a year later. This gave him the pedestal but took his head.

In a sanguine move, the new minister entered Lazarat, a drug-cultivating village that resisted police and politics for two decades. He took the infamous territory, sacrificing a special policeman, but what followed became a drama where he himself would be sacrificed politically. The green stain of Lazarat cannabis spread throughout Albania. Everyone saw it but turned their heads. Include foreign ambassadors here. The new minister did not read the conjuncture properly. Drunk with glory, he left greater traces than his power. The famous Habilaj, his cousins, or the black Audi, imitation of The Transporter, set foot on these tracks.  

Now he is a former minister who, like many before him, ended up in the catacombs. "My party condemns me", seems to be the slogan that accompanies the claim of 3.4 years in prison of Saimir Tahiri.

A voice from above, which does not belong to God, seems to return "yes, yes, your party condemns you".
