Analyst Andi Bushati stated that in the first days of the campaign, a clear division was seen between Edi Rama and Sali Berisha.
According to Bushati, Rama won the battle of spectacle, while Berisha won the political battle. He said in a guest appearance on the show "Çim Peka LIVE" on SYRI TV that, unable to take stock of his government, Rama chose to avoid the essence with a spectacle that was personally unpleasant to him.
According to him, the head of government threw the ball away from the elections by talking about 2030, while the current mandate ends in 2029. In contrast, Bushati praised Berisha's approach as a typical opposition discourse in an authoritarian country, presenting the PD's resistance as an example for society. He also stressed that debates on Berisha's concrete economic promises, such as increasing pensions or restoring the flat tax, should have been at the center of the campaign.
Bushati: In these first days or the first 2 days, we had a very clear division. In a way, Rama won the spectacle battle with Berisha, while Berisha won the political battle with Rama if we see the first day of the campaign as a rivalry between them.
Put yourself in Rama's shoes a little, do both a 4-year balance sheet and a 12-year balance sheet.
You have nothing to say, and when you have nothing to say, what choice do you make?
Or you will avoid the essence and try to make a spectacle, for me it was not a spectacle that I liked, neither is that Golik to my tastes, nor is that Ulsiu lute player to my tastes.
But he made a choice to avoid the essence, that is, to conduct a balanced political campaign.
So what did he do? Spectacle one, and what we will discuss later, he threw the ball away from the elections, 2030 says, this term ends in 2029.
In this sense, the whole spectacle was the best possible cover for the lack of substance and in a sense, if Rama had asked me, "How can I lie today because I have nothing to say?", I could have told him, "I do this."
Why do I say that Berisha won the political part?
If you listened to Berisha both at the Palace of Congresses and in the squares, the former had the speech of a typical opposition leader in an authoritarian country.
We have often discussed how dictatorship and autocracy overwhelm society, lull society, and make it apathetic.
Berisha took this fable and said no, vote for us because we are the concrete example of how a party that was designed to be divided, to be destroyed, to have its seal and flag taken away, managed to resist.
So he took his 4-year fable and demonstrated it as an example for society, and this is typically a political approach in which you address society, this was something for me that was worth opening Berisha's campaign.
Second, I am not an economist and I have not seen anyone scan how valuable Berisha's promises are, but this should have been the essence of a campaign, i.e. a living wage of 200 euros for pensioners, for those who have no income, doubling pensions and salaries, returning to a flat tax, these are debates that should have been normal in a campaign, which is why I say Berisha won the political battle, against Rama's saz, lahutari and Golik who did not give anything more than that.
