But Sali Berisha has not yet gone to the grassroots to hear from the people about what happened in the campaign. He has only issued his "fatwa" that the elections were stolen, and based on this "Executive Order" subsequent moves are being worked out.
The American Democrats suffered a heavy defeat in last year's presidential and congressional elections. They lost the popular vote, the electoral districts, the absolute majority in the House of Representatives, and the balance in the Senate.
This loss of the American Democrats, in absolute numbers, is not that profound, but in the end, they have given Donald Trump and MAGA great power.
The defeat caused a political earthquake in the American opposition, which during the first phase of President Trump's reality show-like measures did not speak at all. Total silence. The media that generally supports the Democrats spoke of "walling", escapes abroad, and other versions, which were not entirely untrue. After many exponents and influencers of this political wing, they took their suitcases and left in a sign of frustration with the American vote.
However, prominent names in the US Democratic Party, namely senators and influential congressmen, began to publish some photos of the Town Halls they were holding with voters in their constituencies, generally known Democratic voters, but also uncommitted ones. As the days passed, these photos went viral. Before restarting their politics, the Democrats carried out a shake-up with the people, namely the base, where, as various American media wrote, they took a cold shower from the people at every meeting.
From these discussions emerged the first battles of the Democrats, who are now being outlined together with their protagonists. Using US laws, hundreds of lawsuits were prepared in American courts for President Donald Trump's Executive Orders. Which are decrees that can be implemented immediately, as they do not affect the budget or the Bill as the Americans call it, which is approved by Congress.
Today, in the eighth month of the Trump administration, US courts have struck down nearly 90% of his Executive Orders. The opposition has won a very important battle. The next battle is the issue of illegal immigration, where Trump has a lot of popular support, as well as the blocking of the change in the electoral territorial map in Texas and California, which could upset the congressional balance in the midterm elections.
In these battles, two figures have emerged who are seen by many as the two most likely candidates for the upcoming presidential election. They are Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California, and JB Pritzker, the Governor of Illinois. Neither represents the political center in the US; they have been and are part of the classic wardrobe of the American left.
Now, the battle seems clearer and Trump makes every countermovement or move by calculating this fact, and the parties have opposing strategies that clash and sometimes bring victory for one and sometimes for the other. The polling machinery has slowly begun to reopen, to measure opinion, which is quite dynamic. This is politics in a Western country, where no matter how much the nuances and methods change, the essence is the same. A movement is reborn by its supporters to get the power it needs after the rebirth, to move forward and win.
Turning it, of course, to the miniature dimension of the giant that we have as a model, in Albania, we see a completely opposite panorama.
Our opposition, which this time was not monolithic, had mixed results on May 11. Sali Berisha's Democratic Party suffered a general defeat, losing positions in every district of the country. Ilir Meta's Freedom Party was almost annihilated in the territory. The new parties achieved a not bad result, bringing four deputies to the Assembly. With problems and controversies, in any case this result is a different data that gives some air to the room with closed windows of the anti-Rama political conglomerate.
But Sali Berisha has not yet gone to the grassroots to hear from the people about what happened in the campaign. He has only issued his "fatwa" that the elections were stolen, and based on this "Executive Order" subsequent moves are being worked out.
The "serial" dissemination of the so-called "McGonigal report" by the media and his deputies has made Sali Berisha's next move legible.
The parliament of the 11th of May will probably be filled in the third session with the "historical" pictures of the opposition collection under the "reign" of Edi Rama. To make it more mysterious, "enigmatic" versions have been broadcast, as if to create an atmosphere of suspense ala Big Brother.
So, we have many things at stake: the burning of mandates, the strong clash in the Assembly, but also “other battles.” These are more or less what representatives of Berisha's opposition leadership team are saying.
That said, none of these "battles" are anything more than silicone bowls taken out of the refrigerator, filled with old opposition soup that no one has even put in their mouths. Not even when it had just come out of the cauldron, let alone now that it has turned into a gelatinous mass.
All the bowls of refrigerated soup have been taken out of the doctor's kitchen, where in addition to the well-known political ingredients, there are also judicial ones, the most voluminous of which is the "Partizani" file. Which will start being served for lunch and dinner from the end of the month, when the criminal trial begins.
Bowls of refrigerated soup, if served to the honchos of grassroots Democrats, would end up in the trash, as they need fresh, prepared meals to win.
Today, the situation is challenging for every opposition in Albania, while facing an Edi Rama in his fourth term, who has included in his political menu for this term: full membership in the European Union.
Rama no longer has to worry about his downfall or political weakening, as he is in his fourth term, with a larger majority than ever. He doesn't really care what happens after 4 years, because, as they say, he has eaten his political pasture.
While the opposition, on the other hand, comes with not only the heavy weight of the old soup bowls, but also the challenge of facing the political battle of Edi Rama's "EU" flag. A flag that, no matter how much it may be mocked and denigrated from a propaganda perspective, needs a real political counter-battle to face.
But the DP is not only preparing to face a political battle with Edi Rama, but also to face the difficult judicial ordeal of Sali Berisha. Therefore, the doctor has kept the old soup in the refrigerator, to distribute to his people in fixed quantities as a cure, poured into new jars and labels. The effect of this folk medicine is what we have seen over the years.
"Epic" battles that end with a pyrotechnic spectacle, like chairs burned with gasoline by Flamur Noka. Of course, these doses will also be accompanied by various vitamins imported from abroad and have many integrators. Like this one from MecGonigal, it is very likely that others will be brought, which help in the digestion of old soup that is heated in the microwave before consumption.
