The title of this editorial is kind of bait. Readers would expect a journalistic-analytical memorandum that divides the political fate of the two civilian spouses, the head of the SMI and the President of the Republic, referring, in almost absolute terms, to the differences between them and the advantages of one over the other.
This is not the purpose of these queues.
In many respects, Ms. Kryemadhi and Mr. Meta are the same things, so many that only death can do them part. Despite the differences between the two, the political lottery has thrown them into a whirlpool of life that can no longer emerge. They are the political Bonnie & Clyde of Albania.
Where they differ it is worth noting, because this dissimilarity somehow regulates the atmosphere and harmony in the opposition camp. Monika Kryemadhi, it must be said, is a more natural and safe partner for Luzlim Basha than Ilir Meta. If the leaders of the two main opposition bloc parties are complementary, the Democratic president and former interior minister are antagonists.
If in the case of his predecessor, Mr. Berisha, Meta accepted the role of the second violin, when it comes to Basha, the current President would seek to be even more resounding of an instrument. A saxophone or trumpet. If frictions have appeared between the Meta-Basha duo; remember, for example, the parable of the lie about the time, or the 'innocent' news that Meta could be Interior Minister or Deputy Prime Minister if he wanted to, Kryemadhi has never chosen to harass her opposition partner.
This is probably not good for a possible future Basha-Kryemadhi government, but it is not bad in ensuring an electoral opposition cohesion. Also, to some extent, of course, Basha could provide the seemingly peaceful surface of the perception that the ancien regime (Berisha-Meta) is being replaced by a new one, not only in age but also in character, gender, views, and why not even collision.
What ensures this success, apparently, has to do with the decision of both, Basha and Kryemadhi, not to try and change each other. What is, in fact, the essence of a successful 'marriage'. Kryemadhi accepts a Basha who would lie to him even about time, just as Basha accepts a Monica in the role of a Luddite who destroys the machine for an idea (even a wrong one). Or even in the interjection, she makes to God, at the end of her speeches when she addresses the followers with God save you! , uniting in one a paradigm of the right (deity) and the preurban jargon of everyday speech. In the end, this is the way in which Kryemadhi chooses to approach the right-wing dialect focused on Sali Berisha's formula God bless Albania!.
In this sense, Monika is better than Ilir, but while this article finds a vademecum (refuge) for Kryemadhi, what happens to President Meta, who has passed from the role of kingmaker to that of King and is currently looking for a new crown for his never quiet head?
