There can be no co-government even for an essential element, when the Prime Minister himself has built his entire political rhetoric on denigrating the opposition, calling it a political swamp and its leader a "swamp owl."
On the eve of the presentation of the new government led by Edi Rama in the fourth mandate of the ruling Socialist Party, the idea of a co-government between the Socialist Party and the Democratic Party has been floated in the public space. Beyond the media hype and the interpretation of some individual movements, it is necessary to clearly clarify that there is no real political or institutional basis for such a scenario.
Co-governance is a clear political act, requiring agreement between the parties, division of responsibilities, and a shared vision. None of these elements are present. The mere inclusion of an individual, having previously joined the DP or the opposition, in a public function, constitutes neither a new policy nor an agreement for co-governance.
On the other hand, for the Democratic Party, participation in Rama's government would be in complete contradiction with its positions as an opposition force. It would mean surrendering its constitutional and political role, undermining the representation of voters who have trusted the opposition to check and balance power.
There is no agreement, no official discussion, and no political document that suggests or implies the construction of a shared governance. What is happening is a misinterpretation of small administrative or individual movements, which cannot be translated into institutional tendencies for co-governance.
It is equally important to emphasize that cooperation between the majority and the opposition on major issues, such as electoral reform, European integration or the penal code, is an institutional obligation and not a political coalition. These are areas where the opposition has its constitutional role to contribute through dialogue and its positions, but without losing its primary role.
Politics cannot be based on rumors, perceptions, or interpretations that do not stem from political reality. Otherwise, we risk distorting citizens' perceptions of how democracy works.
Co-governance is a serious, measured, negotiated act with clear consequences for both parties. Until there is a signed political agreement, any rumors circulating in the form of hypotheses remain mere speculation.
In this context, it is important that the public is accurately informed: today there is no condition, no signal, and no declared will for a SP-DP co-government. Any analysis that is built on this premise is not based on facts, but on perceptions.
There can be no co-government even for an essential element, when the Prime Minister himself has built his entire political rhetoric on the denigration of the opposition, calling it a political swamp and its leader a “swamp owl”. In this swamp he is now trying to fish for individuals, as if it were a lake with great political values. This would not create either better governance or a more productive opposition. This simply makes Edi Rama a swamp fisherman!
