Therefore, the characters who wish or aspire to have a public life, must, above all, have their affairs as closely as possible with the law.
One of the greatest concerns, in the days in which we live, is the erasure of private life and the merging of public life. Fueled by the media for "reality shows", it has intensively involved that part of society outside its platforms. The extraction of privacy and its exploitation is becoming more than annoying: almost lynching. And, it is not just about anonymous comments and numerous rumors that our society tolerates.
This seems to be one of the reasons why a good part of political opponents or even public people themselves are hit, who address and make public everything, happened or not. The reason why there is a great moral crisis today is precisely because as soon as a cause is started, it ends up drowned out by a gossip-hungry crowd. Anyone who embarks on a journey of emancipation tries to hide his private part, which is often taken by opponents to hit him.
In the case of Albania, the problem is becoming very complex these days and a little outside of this reality, because SPAK is going deeply to the most popular public figures, mainly researching their private parts. A few days ago, to the public's interest in the mayor of Tirana Erjon Veliaj and his family members, the institution showed that it was being investigated for "passive corruption", but also other criminal offenses such as "active corruption", "money laundering" and "concealment of assets" ", referring to VOA. A few hours later, his Mayor Belind Kelliçi, who has constantly been in front of SPAK to accuse, came out with the same bored face from the institution. What was private, and which is surprisingly known by many people, had already turned into a minus for the well-known characters, that in the event that SPAK will argue their accusations, they will have to start a long confrontation with the Justice.
As for them, a number of well-known figures from both sides of politics seem to have difficult encounters, except for those who are already comfortable in prison. Our argument extends to another aspect, when public data has already become the domain of many hands. Some time ago, salary data, bank data and many other elements were public. Not for nothing, what makes life more difficult for small parties and personalities who are in the opposition today, especially from civil society, is precisely private life. They surprise you, that the phone is part of all kinds of agencies that take you systematically, to ask!
Therefore, the characters who wish or aspire to have a public life, must, above all, have their affairs as closely as possible with the law. Are we in a new kind of totalitarianism? Hannah Arendt, as one of the main aspects of totalitarianism, described the fact that its synonym was not the "all-powerful state", but simply the erasure of the difference between public and private life. In the case of Albania, almost all leaks of information to the general public and their misuse have gone undetected, with many characters becoming part of public lynchings.
"Anyone who can tear apart your privacy can humiliate you and destroy one's relationships at will," says Timothy Snyder in his series of essays (lectures) on Tyranny, in the Create a Private Life bud. The attempt to extract everything private from individuals, especially those who are weak and without support, is never accompanied by the context of when certain things were taken. Society is not responsible for this fact, which is significant.
In this case, it is not about those who are going before the SPAK and have known how to hide their private parts like few others, which the "weak" find impossible in a state with typical pre-totalitarian elements. Therefore, Justice today, is getting close to families, friends and especially all kinds of associates as in the above cases that talk about the people of the Municipality, while the "attention" of various media sources often and more often falls on the privacy of ordinary people , who try to survive or those who have a completely normal life.
“Our hunger for secrecy, Arendt thought, is dangerously political. Totalitarianism removes the distinction between private and public life not only to enslave individuals, but also to pull the entire society away from normal politics and toward conspiracy theories,” taken from Snyder's quote. And, this has made Albania closed with conspiracy theories, with individuals who speak as if they are in possession of SPAK's files and issues, or the endless Nostradamus that surround us. It happens more and more often that we no longer know anything about how the ordinary Albanian lives, not to mention how villages and towns that are being abandoned survive. The case of the well-known Albanian singer in the USA was even more painful, when different characters got into the most intimate aspects, just like many other characters (before her), whose attacks were inspired by smira.
The continuation is the same: when all this attention to the private becomes excessive, after a while it is understood that society enters a spiral of futility, which has no impact. Exactly, this is how today the democratic regimes in Europe are keeping the public in the ground for their affairs and above all for the totalitarian directions that are rising before our eyes. One such, for every day, is the one that Albanians have before their eyes today with the respective governments of Rama and Kurti in Tirana and Pristina. The public continues to follow what the government brings and many times the opposition (tandem), which holds such power, but not the concerns.
We learn about their (often false) clashes, but we never know much about the private sphere, such as the construction interests in the capital involving both the Left and the Right. Why has the public handed over his private dance and why is he no longer impressed? To a large extent, it seems that our public is satisfied to be part of collective lynchings and hysteria towards different characters, precisely the sense that it lacks when it has to raise problems about corruption, prices, energy (in Kosovo only now it was "understood" that they would have a hard winter!).
This makes you think that the protection of human rights among Albanians is more than a duty, it is a way for our society to recover from what is happening in front of its eyes, which, already so naked, have decided it simply as the enthusiastic public of the ancient arenas of Rome, to be satisfied with the empty spectacle offered by the "strong" government that is already shaking, thanks to the awakening of SPAK. This moment, which the Albanians are going through, really belongs to what Arendt once called "Degradation of society into a crowd" and the case of Albania and Kosovo is showing this best.
