Why the two Assemblies did not unite, but emphasized the divisions and problems

Edi Rama provided the setting for the unification on Sunday in the Parliament of Albania, but at the same time, he highlighted the big pitfalls of "unity", some of which, not all, of course, are also his work.

In the evil satisfaction that diversion gives to the opponent, KM forgot that unity, first of all, is ensured through opposites and only by respecting the opposites, i.e. what constitutes the rule, unity, i.e. the exception can be realized. In the Assembly, probably nationwide on Sunday, when the representatives of the parliamentary groups spoke, in the name of the opposition, that is, the Democratic Party, Enkelejd Alibeaj climbed the podium. On both levels, both political and legal, Mr. Alibai does not represent the most significant opposition force. As far as the law is concerned, he is on trial with the 'other side, and as far as politics is concerned, he was defeated by the 'other side in the elections of March 6 of this year. So as a minority it is unrepresentative and as such also illegitimate.

Even Alibeaj himself, who is not a bad public speaker, barely 'brought out the speech of November 27, as if his unconscious told him that what he was doing was an exaggeration for the sake of Rama and not merit.

Secondly, Mr. Rama committed an assassination attempt against himself, according to what is known as the paradigm of fair and balanced politics, the separation of powers. Although on a symbolic level, the calling of the special session with two assemblies, including governments formed by parliamentary majorities, but not the presidents, was another sign that the CM considers the parliament, as it is suspected, as an arm of the government.

The presidents and former presidents of Albania and Kosovo would honor such a 'unification' for the 110th anniversary of Independence and remove the quotes from unity. Rama, because he can't stand some of the former presidents, some say even the current one of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, celebrated the 110th anniversary of Independence with Albin Kurti.  

Thirdly, Rama, a disciple of cancel culture coming from the American extreme left, retouched the history of Independence, pluralism, and European integration, on a day whose symbolism should speak of unity and reconciliation. In the stands displayed in the courtyard of the Assembly, the opposition, ie the Democratic Party and its exponents, such as Sali Berisha, Jozefina Topalli, and others, had disappeared from the calendar of events. At the integration stand, there were socialist parliamentarians and ministers or European dignitaries, but no one from today's opposition and yesterday's government. Let's remember once again, despite any cancel culture, that the Berisha Government of 2005-2013 laid the foundation stones in the European integration process of Albania: the signing of the SAA, membership in NATO, and the liberalization of visas.

Too bad that the current and temporary Albanian prime minister does not understand that in the affairs of the nation, the actuality is brief and the diversions even more so. For someone who quotes Faik Konica so much, apparently, he has borrowed more from his whims than his style. Even Faik Bey, when Esat Pasha clashed with the Provisional Government of Vlora and its chief Ismail Qemali, took the side of Toptan without sparing. Edi Rama was on Sunday a repetition of Esat Pasha in the affairs of Albania.
