A scapegoat for an illegitimate Republic

A scapegoat for an illegitimate Republic

By Luciano Boci

The dismissal of a director and a few others for illegal construction in Theth is the next piece of news that Rama wants to sell as a "sign of strength" or "self-purification."

But in truth, it is a low act of hypocrisy, attempting to create the idea of ​​a state that reacts, while in essence, this state is founded on silence, cooperation and constructive clientelism, violence against citizens, and organized crime.

Firing a director in Albania's most criminalized municipality for operating illegal tourist lodges is like a police picnic.

Because in Albania, it is not the directors who have legalized and implemented policies.

It is the municipalities that deceive and turn a blind eye.

It's the agencies that sign silently.

It is the ministers who distribute favors, and it is the government that builds power on concrete without permission.

Even more so in Theth, whose residents were encouraged and asked by the Prime Minister himself to develop family tourism, to invest because he wanted their votes.

And it was the Municipality that promoted them and asked for votes.

Firing a director is simply a scapegoat.

A small sacrifice to legalize the punishment of citizens and protect the "big ones."

An old trick that every corrupt government uses when the walls start to crumble – not the walls built without permission, but the walls of institutional fraud that have covered up the abuse of territory, the law, and citizens for years.

Is the director guilty?

Maybe. But no more than those who named him.

And certainly much less than those who have asked for votes at all costs.

In this republic, illegal construction for political gain is the rule, not the exception.

Just see Tirana and you will be convinced.

And punishing just one mid-ranking official is not justice, but a witch hunt ordered by the witches themselves.

Are the citizens of Thethi to blame?

Not at all.

They have lived there for centuries and want to transform God's gift of nature into hospitality, generosity, and economy.

They incited them, promised them paradise, abused them, and today throw them out into the open in the name of "the law."

But whose law?

The one about the "hawkish" strategic investors of power, or the destructive law for protected areas?!

"Illegal" constructions, as Rama and his Benet call them today, did not arise yesterday.

They are a political industry, built for votes, with organized tolerance, and widespread fear.

They are not a technical error, but a consequence of a power model that functions only on violating the law and deceiving and violence against citizens.

If you really want justice, let the mayor who promised them justice in exchange for their vote be fired.

Let the minister who allowed it in exchange for votes be investigated.

Let the prime minister who has made concrete everywhere in Albania and personal clients synonymous with development answer.

Until this happens, every isolated dismissal is simply a spectacle of shame that seeks to cover up the shame of trampling underfoot the sweat, toil, and dignity of the Thethians and beyond.

And this country no longer needs spectacle. It needs accountability. Responsibility. And above all: punishment for those who have knowingly transformed Albania into a country where the Evil One of power makes the law.
