But most of the guests, regardless of who they are, with or without work, asked about salaries, education, health, infrastructure, defense, the environment, NATO, the USA, China, 24-hour water, etc.
The countless conversations in the studio have become like the wedding dances of old: everyone comes, dances their favorite dance, and leaves, without worrying about who invited them, or who is getting married. In a day, there are an average of 200 guests in studios across the country.
Some come from politics, some from the job market, and some from the parking lot across from the television station. If you ask who they are, the answer is: Stuffing! If you ask what they represent, the answer is: For stuffing!
But for everyone there is a microphone, there is makeup, there is a thank you, there is even a car with or without air conditioning where the television driver often has the most clear interview questions. But here's how the scheme works:
You can't get the prime minister or the line minister? No problem. There are plenty of MPs, there are even more former MPs and a permanent army of candidates for MP:
(Former) MP? When he was in the Assembly, he didn't open his mouth, but now he's being asked about teachers' salaries, healthcare reform, relations with Iran, and the 5G network in Puka.
You invite a party leader who has never crossed the electoral threshold? You ask him how he can be the director of the World Bank and the Governor of the Bank of Albania at the same time. Let him open the bag and curse whoever he wants, even the washerman for the stains on the car.
You invite a party leader who even the most optimistic polls don't give a chance to be an MP? You ask him how he can be the country's next leader, foreign minister, and peace negotiator in the Middle East.
The camera focuses on him carefully, as if he were a candidate for UN Secretary-General. Invites a young man into politics? Gives him the Greek philosopher's hat and asks him about democracy, justice, world order and "what do you think of Hobbes".
You invite a charlatan? This one has a lot of K, especially when you ask him as a global guru about the new world order, then put him in front of a real expert from Washington.
You invite an infectious disease doctor? You don't ask him about seasonal viruses, but you ask him about taxes, the defense budget, the war in Gaza, and the Paris climate agreement.
The result?
The guest enters the studio with a scarf for coughing, exits the television as an expert on fiscal policy in the EU and the trade war that has just broken out.
Another who doesn't know the difference between the words "budget" and "budgetary" explains pension reform with a certainty reminiscent of Steve Jobs' performance when he introduced the iPhone.
But most of the guests, regardless of who they are, with or without work, asked about salaries, education, health, infrastructure, defense, the environment, NATO, the USA, China, 24-hour water, etc.
In the absence of the Prime Minister in the studio, each guest is held accountable for their governance or asked about their potential as the country's next prime minister.
At the end of the day, with so many prime ministers in the studio, the question arises: Who is to blame for not having high salaries, 24-hour water, quality education, or free healthcare?
Nobody. Because everyone is in opposition! Opposite the “guests” is the audience that every night on the screen sees those they have never voted for. The government is always somewhere else, but the “Prime Minister” is always on the screen. And so, the daily/nightly spectacle continues where the country is governed… from studio to studio.
