The only fortune of Albanians is folklore and what nature gives them, because at least...even their candle will one day go out. The sooner they understand this, the better it will be. But this is not the case for Albanians. For Albanians, leaders live as long as the mountains and hills.
This expression is related to a popular saying and has to do with people who have power. According to which you cannot stay in power forever and this should be taken into account by everyone. The word candle is not mentioned because it is implied, but the metaphor is clear: No ordinary candle goes unburned forever. The lesson is great and is told to those in power in many ways, but most will not understand it. They think that they will live forever. The club of dictators of the world was caught on microphones thinking about immense power and a long life.
In our village, Prime Minister Rama, with his usual determination and ego, and even the conviction that he will be in power forever and even after 2030, issues cynical statements: That he will leave whenever he wants!
We have before us a character who has entered the history of power in his own way, but who in a few years, if nature allows him to do so, could surpass Enver Hoxha himself, the second-to-none dictator in Albania.
Meanwhile, under their shadow, generations, individuals, and prominent professionals have burned, and incompetents and scoundrels have proliferated, filling television newscasts with cases of corruption and other embarrassing stories of servility, before which even Dickens' Uriah Heep would seem a saint.
However, in these days time will be wasted with the kilometer-long debates about the dismissal of Erion Velia in the Municipal Council (the way the socialist members will behave will show their moral and logical weight), administrative justifications and legal logic for validity. Meanwhile, Albanians continue to flee; a large number barely cope with survival; others wait with hope that they will be given some opportunity by the privileged people of Rama's leadership for work. All these hardships of Albanians make little impression on Rama, who has started international excursions explaining "Diella" to "ignorant" Westerners; as well as on Berisha, who counts them as numbers for the protests, harassing their dignity and that life that is becoming more and more difficult for them day by day. The chronicle of these days is such a miserable one of political individuals who do not see what is happening in the world, where the breath of war is heard closer and closer; where Albania faces challenges of all kinds; where school benches are emptying and where product prices do not know how to decrease and where the arrogance of power is mercilessly hitting everywhere. But for politicians this is not a big deal. Rama is in power, while the parliament with +80 mandates of the Socialists is simply a clear extension of him. As for Berisha, the unity of the Ramists is a blessing for his +50 mandates to vegetate and benefit. The only luck of Albanians is folklore and what nature gives them that at least…even their candle will one day go out. The sooner they understand it, the better it will be. But this is not the case for Albanians. For Albanians, leaders live as long as the mountains and the hills.
