The Prime Minister, unlike in previous years, is postponing the announcement of the new government, overwhelmed by the uncertainty of a sudden attack from SPAK or the international media...
Edi Rama, apart from the first time he won the elections, announced his governments for the two following terms in mid-summer. An act that was not only theatrical for the media, but was also a calculated political move.
In 2013, Rama had no problem with the composition of the cabinet, because the government had split on April 1, with the PS-LSI pact and the agreement that, in addition to the executive posts, guaranteed Ilir Meta the mandate of President of the Republic for 2017.
However, the Rama-Meta relationship was not an alliance of trust, but a mutual blackmail. Every week, the new prime minister was obliged to go to Meta's office, not in an institutional meeting, but as a "compulsion to appear", to harmonize agendas and to give guarantees on votes and concessions.
Fear of backstage events forced Rama to announce the government only after the constitution of the Assembly, to avoid any political fallout.
In 2017, with 74 mandates, Rama breathed freely, freed from the "Meta grip". This prompted him to announce the new government at the end of July, demonstrating undisputed strength and power. He repeated the same ritual in 2021, using it as a means of pressure on his own party and openly threatening to "take by the ears to SPAK" all those who opposed him.
But this time, in his fourth term, Edi Rama is showing unusual caution. He is not exercising his "hobby" of showing power at the height of summer, but has postponed the announcement of the government even after the constitution of the Parliament.
Several dates have been given to the media close to him, from mid to late September, but none are definitive.
Sources close to the Prime Minister's Office claim that Rama will not go to the Presidency himself with the names of the cabinet, but will wait for the constitutional procedures that begin with the mandate and the decree by the President. A behavior that contradicts his previous contempt for legal formalities, but which this time is related to his insecurities and fears.
The Prime Minister is terrified that something serious could spoil his fourth term celebration. The suspicions are that he is afraid of an international publication that could expose him or of a surprise action by SPAK, which could appear with an investigative warrant near his office. Precisely for this reason, Rama has prepared counter-moves, while continuing negotiations and warnings, to guarantee that the "day of the announcement of the government" will not turn into a day of political disaster./ Pamphlet
