Albania is stuck at the bottom of the list for the EU, but the prime minister remains first in the art of propaganda...
The latest Eurobarometer is not just a poll; it is a waiting line in front of the EU embassy where Albania, with the red card of corruption, always stands at the "last rung".
While Edi Rama, with his painterly speeches, has sold us the "European vision" for a decade, the reality is that Europe no longer buys his painted goods.
The figures are ruthless: only 48% of Italians, our neighbors who have put up with us more than anyone else, think Albania deserves to join the EU. The rest of the continent sees us as “exporters of corruption and runaway youth,” not as a serious candidate country.
Meanwhile, Montenegro, Bosnia, and North Macedonia receive percentages that Albania wouldn't even dream of. So, not only are we last, but we've also become an example of how you can't integrate.
Rama will come out and tell us that this is a “fault of perception” and that Albanians should be praised for their enthusiasm. But what do we need our enthusiasm for when Europe sees us as a backward village that can't even clean its own yard?
For every vetting he promised, another corruption file was opened; for every justice reform, another public tender for cronies and oligarchs.
The EU does not need speeches with empty metaphors, but a functioning state, which Rama cannot offer, because he himself is the product of this chaos.
Instead of being the prime minister who would make Albania a "success story," Rama will be remembered as the master painter of European disappointment: the man who left the country in free fall, who decorated the facades but destroyed the foundation of the state.
While Montenegro and Bosnia march towards Brussels, Rama's Albania is stuck at the concrete columns, waiting for some miracle from the sky.
In the end, Rama has made Albania like those cubist paintings of his: lots of color, lots of noise, but no meaning. And Europe, unlike us, has no patience for this endless exhibition./ Pamphlet
