Academic Artan Fuga has thoroughly dissected the mechanism that the government has set up to keep the country under control. Invited to the show “Të Pashoq” on the “Pamflet” YouTube channel, Fuga emphasized that the success of the current government should not be seen as a matter of fate, but as the result of a well-calculated strategy that aims to keep the opposition and citizens in a state of passivity. According to him, the ruling force implements a series of sophisticated mechanisms to maintain the status quo and guarantee its continuity.
One of the pillars of this strategy, Fuga explains, is bureaucratic and administrative control. An example is the process of registering students in universities, which is centrally controlled by ministry portals. This mechanism is seen as a means of controlling the fate of young people and their families, transferring power from autonomous academic institutions to the central administration.
The Academician further emphasizes that another essential element is the orientation of intellectual capital away from the country's problems. The system of scientific and academic qualifications encourages publications outside Albania as a condition for obtaining degrees, instead of stimulating scientific research to solve national challenges. In this way, intellectuals and the academic elite are removed from direct contribution to the country's development, neutralizing a critical and proposing voice.
The strategy according to Fuga also extends to the level of local government. Through the organization of local government and urban plans, it is claimed that all different political sensibilities within municipalities are extinguished. This creates a reality where entire districts are dominated by a single political color, excluding alternative voices and concentrating privileges in a small group.
In addition to internal mechanisms, the attitude of the international factor also plays an important role, which according to Fuga has not changed in recent years.
-For all we've talked about, any government would be very lucky?
Artan Fuga : I don't think it's a matter of fate. I think that, uh, not only the government, but the party in power, the force in power, let alone the party, those who govern, I think that these analyses are done. They are done. And in a way, they move with those steps and with those rhythms and with those strategies to develop this situation that keeps the opposition inactive, and the citizen inactive, to keep the status quo. For example, I still can't understand why, in order to register at a university, a student has to go through the ministry's portals, which I have never understood. Meanwhile, universities want students. My answer? It is to keep the fate of the child of the house in the hands of the administration. One more yes, excuse me. Yes.
- Obtain qualifications as a teacher or researcher.
Artan Fuga : The criteria that are required are not to contribute to solving the country's problems. You can get your degrees by publishing abroad. And everyone publishes abroad to get their degrees. No one says, you will get your scientific degree if you make a contribution to the country. That's where you directed intellectualism. That's where you directed students, that's where you directed families. So with tenders, so with the organization of local government. Local government is built in such a way that all the political sensitivities of the municipalities are extinguished in front of an urban mass where they are among the oppressed, the exploited, those who have a few, let's say, more privileges than can be called. Which means an entire district is dominated by a political sensitivity. So this government is not lucky. It has a strategy to maintain this status quo. This is the analysis, there is no need for anything else. There is no need, I don't know if votes are stolen, votes are not stolen, I don't know, I'm not involved in this work. But I don't need to get into it here. It is enough to analyze the way administrative and local government is organized, how tenders are awarded, what economic policies are, what the immigration situation is, how individual rights are related to inactivity, political inactivity, I know what the result will be. I need this analysis. If I listen to two people, three people, five people that I respect, I love, I want them to be as good as possible, who tell me all day long, they stole from us, they stole from us, they stole from us, I say, are they serious or are they not capable of analyzing other things.
- Now, since our last interview before this, which dates back about two years, I have also asked you about the international approach towards us and so on. Has anything changed in this regard since then?
Artan Fuga : I would be ashamed to say that what I told you has been verified. That's my opinion. It has been verified.
- Because it is an important part that we keep an eye on the so-called world for us. We interpret every movement, even the subtle and invisible ones, in function of everything that happens here with everything with everyone. Of course, I am talking about politics.
Artan Fuga : It's the history of, it's, it's the history of Albania, isn't it? I mean, what did it take for the opposition to disintegrate into the state it is in today? A sentence that comes from the United States of America. That's it.
-No, I didn't want to repeat the question from two years ago, and I'm telling you, has anything changed since then?
Artan Fuga : I know, but maybe your audience doesn't know what we talked about. No, it hasn't changed. But if that's enough, I say it's not enough, it hasn't changed anything.
