Political scientist Afrim Krasniqi has made a strong and direct statement on the current political situation and the investigations being conducted by SPAK, putting the absolute concentration of power in the office of the Prime Minister of Albania at the center of the discussion. Invited to the show “Off the Record” with Andrea Danglli on A2CNN, Krasniqi said that if the justice authorities will go to the end of the investigations, the threads of all the files lead to the same place.
" If SPAK goes into the files in detail, all the threads lead to the same place - where all power is concentrated, and all power in Albania is concentrated in the office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Albania ," Krasniqi said, clearly alluding that corrupt schemes and abuses of power are not isolated actions, but part of a vertical structure built around the political center.
Taking the example of the investigations in the Municipality of Tirana, he said that scandals are not issues of individuals, but the product of a system that has elevated a person to the top of power for personal and political benefits. According to him, Prime Minister Rama is currently untouchable only because of his position and numbers in the Assembly.
" We said it even during the electoral period: Rama is obliged to win the elections, because if he doesn't win, it will be his first day in SPAK. Time proved us right. Today, he is kept in office only because of his position as prime minister and 83 votes in Parliament ," he stressed.
Krasniqi called this situation a classic failure of the political elite, which according to him, has never accepted the concepts of freedom and democracy, neither in decision-making, nor in political families, nor in the institutions it leads. He appreciated the fact that for the first time in the history of the transition, Albanians are seeing arrests of officials considered untouchable in the news, a development that he sees as hope, not as complete justice.
" This is not yet the justice we seek, but it is a window that shows that perhaps the government no longer controls everything like before. And this is the great destiny of democracy – that it is not completely controllable by a single hand ," Krasniqi added.
