The visit and the messages given today in Tirana by the US Secretary Antony Blinken, to the analyst Fatos Lubonja, have two standards.
Invited this evening to the show "Open" on News24, Lubonja said that Blinken treated Edi Rama "like a sheikh", describing him as a "prominent man".
According to his analysis, democracy and the rule of law were not discussed during this visit, as geopolitical and economic interests were in the middle. Meanwhile, he added that in our country, there is not a politician, not even from the opposition, who can say this to his face. Lubonja said that even Berisha, in the first half of his reaction, spoke highly of Blinken.
"For geopolitical reasons, they approach dictators, authoritarian leaders, and solve problems with them, but also favor them and say 'prominent man', as in the case of Rama, or Vucic, Erdogan... The ink has run out from those great rhetorics about democracy, the rule of law, which today, as he mentioned at all, seemed to me. It is geopolitical and economic interests that are masked by these. How did you say? "Whenever we have had a problem, Rama has solved it for us."
When I talk about double standards, I mean, when this one is with us, a standard is used that he is with us, and when he is not, they are declared as enemies. A journalist had to tell him this double language, because he used it for Rama but not for Berisha. For me, Rama's government is the most corrupt in these 30 years.
Biden has treated corruption as a phenomenon that endangers the security of the state when he attacked Berisha, while he calls this an outstanding man, this language is disgusting.
They know very well how the situation is, but geopolitical and economic interests are in the middle.
Even Berisha had half of his speech about Blinken with praise... I think an opposition needs to say it to his face. We don't have it here," said Lubonja.
