The visit to Tirana of the prime minister of the EU, Ursula Von der Leyen, at the height of a storm over the arrest of Ilir Meta, and when she also gave a clear message that she supports SPAK, can only be a political signal.
A German woman who leads political Europe for the second term, and who is considered the political successor of Angela Merkel, came to Albania today for her seventh official visit.
He announced that nearly 1 billion euros, which the EU distributes to stimulate development in member countries, will be given to Albania.
A few days ago, the Campania region in Italy received 3 billion euros from the development fund. In addition to having 5.5 million inhabitants, Italy is also a member of the European Union.
The EU 1 billion is not a check that is given to the government to spend as it likes. Every cent that will be spent will be planned and approved by the EU officials, otherwise not a penny will be spent. At the slightest doubt, the European Commission has guarantee institutions that block everything as happened with OLAF and the agricultural funds.
However, the visit to Tirana of the prime minister of the EU, Ursula Von der Leyen, at the height of a storm over the arrest of Ilir Meta, and when she also gave a clear message that she supports SPAK, can be nothing but a political signal.
Which, on the other hand, was so clear in Strasbourg, when a close associate of Mrs. Von der Leyen, head of the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, and an important CDU politician hosted a delegation of DP deputies. .
An expectation that is clearly a political signal that Europe is ready to host all the opposition, even those who are hostages of Sali Berisha, just so they don't have Berisha with them.
Add to this the appearance today in Tirana of a European politician who in 2016 announced the reform in justice from Tirana, but who today leads the College of Europe, Federica Mogherini, shows that there is no coincidence.
When Mrs. Mogherini announced the launch of the reform, there were the famous and well-known attacks on her by Berisha and Meta, from intimacies to accusations of drug trafficking, terrorism and all the black stuff.
Basically, the 920 million or 1 billion euros that Brussels will give to Albania, which for those who will manage it will be an odyssey in itself, is nothing after the political will that happened after the fall of the myth of impunity.
For the EU, Albania is a Balkan country closer to Europe, of course with many problems, where there is traffic corruption, incompetence or other deficiencies, but no longer a non-functional state where political barons hold hostage the main pillar of the state such as justice , to protect yourself.
That's why he decided to open the talks, and as the most powerful Germany in Europe said today, maybe all the chapters can be closed within the next year. We are as fixed as when Croatia arrested Sanader and was admitted to the EU, or close to it. Today in Croatia, corruption has not ended, but justice continues to pursue and arrest politicians and powerful people. With Sanader, the myth that the powerful not only move the cards, but also that no one touches them, came to an end.
The scenography of today's film was really a picture of today's Albania: on one side, someone threw it down the throats of the prosecutors and someone else in front of the journalists relativized the accusations about the increased wealth, while the head of political Europe settled the bag and gave Albania almost 1 billion euros , as a bonus.
And on the other hand, in Strasbourg, David McAllister, who in 2017 came here with a political agreement but which Berisha rejected, today laughed at his DP colleagues, as if to give a signal to the doctor that for a these days your sons are more comfortable and liberated. All this is a political development of significant proportions that has happened only from two movements. According to which both Berisha and Meta are no longer part of the Albanian Parliament next year. And this is not a little...
