The DP, the oligarchs, and a society that is rising by falling from the sky

Ted Kopliku

The collective hysteria to crucify the DP for everything is dangerous. It is the impotence of a society that risks losing its weight and role.
When the representatives of the DP shouted that we will come to a day when no one will have the power to stand up for anyone, they laughed at us, criticized us or ignored us. The story of the German pastor during the Nazi period became banal and did not attract anyone's attention.
Unable to deal with the donkey that is undoing Albania, we fall for the donkey. "The opposition is to blame" and we change sides to continue the lethargic sleep of a dying society.
The protest against the system set up by the regime of the anti-Albanian Rama is taking place in Tirana. The DP has been presenting it as the only solution for years. The failure to respond to national protests and civil disobedience has brought us here. Protests with 30 people behind fences are not held. The origin of the problem is not these masked vagabonds, nor the barbed wire, but the Prime Minister of Gys Agas in Tirana.
Every protest is legitimate, but the PD cannot turn every injustice (which in Albania is endless) into a national issue and, failing that, we should sit with nails in our hands to crucify the PD.
Other stories with oligarchs and the opposition's silence are tales to dismiss the inability to fall for the donkey. The PD has always fought its battle.
We must understand how far the duty of a political party goes. We have, as a society, hatred for the rich. In fact, those who are commonly called oligarchs are people who have been on the market since the '90s and have built wealth, have dozens of businesses and thousands of employees today. The real oligarchs are known who they are.
These star oligarchs, about whom we often speak, a political party comes out against them when they receive public money, and this is what the DP has done for the past 13 years. I am not saying that it has never conceded anywhere, but the DP has done and is doing, since its existence, much more than it deserves, and it is much more than society as a whole, which has surrendered to patronage and subjugation.
All the pieces of Albania that are being sacrificed today were not given with the signature of the DP officials, nor under the DP government. The protected areas did not lose their status under its leadership. On the contrary, most were recognized as such at the time when this party led the country.
A healthy society does not waste time looking for false culprits. It has the courage to identify the real source of the problems and face them. Only in this way can it emerge from apathy and regain its role in protecting freedom, democracy and the public interest
