Now the show has moved to another level. One of these fashionable public trials now is this intifada against those artists who have benefited from cultural projects from the Municipality of Tirana.
I haven't appeared on television debates for years, since they became paid debates.
It's not that I don't like money, but the appearance of paid analysts on screens is a cultural ugliness, a huge public fraud on transparency and above all an insult to public debate. And the only case I accept is a brief opinion without being part of "public judicial panels".
I see some of my colleagues who are really struggling and are forced to leave the studios from time to time, for this very reason, but they are having a hard time returning to normal now that the madness has gone away.
I understand that many television stations are struggling to find debate protagonists, so they have to pay a lot of people, who they "appoint" as analysts for every issue and then hold public trials with.
Of course, the "trials" that drive Albanians crazy are the ones with "information from my sources", that "a politician will be arrested soon", or that "a businessman has been fined by a criminal in a country", all of this, without names, without addresses, without sources. And of course without a hint of shame!
Even more dramatic are the lies that refer to SPAK sources, such as the case of the “secret apartment of Ajola Xoxe” in Sky Tower, which was actually the warehouse of the Sky Tower business center where Xoxe and several other clients of the business center leave their belongings after moving offices. The empty safe there for ten years of the owner of the “La Vikinga” shipping line in Durrës was declared to be her safe filled with money, or the Zara dresses found there as part of an opera performance, as her luxurious clothing.
I understand that these are part of the political mud, since SPAK itself does not have them written like this in its minutes. When they lie, they refer to their sources in SPAK, when the truth is clarified, they run to the next lie.
They invent rumors about politicians and prosecutors on SKY or encrochats from what the bandits are free to do about any politician, judge, prosecutor or journalist, including those who speak on the screens. If you read that 'secret' file of Toyata Yaris you understand this scum better. And in this "artistic" madness, created by trampling on the integrity of public information, every night you have a victim in the name of the morality of paid panelists.
Now the show has moved to another level. One of these fashionable public trials now is this intifada against those artists who have benefited from cultural projects from the Municipality of Tirana.
They are all considered criminals, thieves, and accomplices in crime, with unbearable ease, just because the target of these analysts to be sacrificed is, in this case, Erion Veliaj, who was mayor at the time they won these projects.
The issue becomes even more sensitive because one of the NGOs was also owned by his wife, Ajola.
Now, these artists need to be asked once: did they carry out the projects they were paid for? Were they of high quality or not? Were they projects that enlivened the city, or were they simply signed papers without any real activity?
Only in this way can we discuss the efficiency of sponsorships, but not their criminalization.
Artists all over the world need sponsorships, and the main donors are of course public institutions, governments, banks, or other businesses.
Meanwhile, these self-proclaimed paid "analysts" on screens, who are paid to be loyal to the editorial policies of the TV owners, have attacked the artists, accusing them of accepting money from Erion Veliaj for cultural activities, and calling them corrupt.
And, moreover, all this hypocrisy occurs in the face of a society that eagerly expects "transparency" from the screens, where the debaters are all paid soldiers.
It is impossible to enter this debate, because no normal person agrees to participate in a pre-paid debate with pre-paid people, to lynch people who have done their job and for which they were paid. And besides being paid by the screens they appear on, we all know what they represent and whose trenches they are there for.
It is normal for a television station to hire journalists, pay them and produce opinion, as this is their job and, in a way, their brand.
But the fashion of Albanian television stations, where everyone has their own paid mercenaries and puts the whole of Albania on trial, is a rare phenomenon in the world and perhaps the only one.
Even more so, when these analysts receive money from two or three television stations, where: they appear for half an hour on Shkëlzen Berisha's television, half an hour on Edi Rama's, half an hour on some scheming oligarch,
And in all cases – for a fee.
In the fight against corruption!
