For this reason, yesterday's fire in the Parliament is not intended to burn Edi Rama nor to protect Salianji. That fire is intended to burn the opposition land to prevent something new from sprouting. The purpose of this action as well as the next protest is to produce the spectacle of a false conflict, in order to keep the political debate in the terms of the pulpit.
The burning of the chairs in the courtyard of the Parliament got an image that brings to mind a clip of Pink Floyd, Another brick in the wall, where the children rebel against the teachers and set the school on fire. In fact, the outburst of rebellious indignation vented on material objects like carts is characteristic of the small, the powerless, and above all, the voiceless. The inability of this opposition to be heard and to be persuasive shows its true weakness, which does not come from the endless atrocities of this government, but exclusively from its own equally ugly, if not as great, atrocities. .
However, an opposition that abuses chairs, since it has nothing to do with the majority, does nothing but demonstrate its political infantility, which makes it look, not just weak and incompetent, but also aggressive. or hysterical, but now also banal and funny.
The violence of a political formation against another formation has meaning only when it is exercised by para-political guerrilla organizations that seek to take power with weapons. The violence expressed against the chairs is simply a demonstration of the political banality that turns the political scene into a comedy.
Any opposition would be interested in a climate of public reflection, so that people can clearly see the government's problems. Its strength lies in facts, arguments, reason. Through them, the opposition is always fighting to get closer to the gray electorate, without which it can never win. The Albanian opposition today does the exact opposite. She offers pyrotactic spectacles with smoke and flames destroying her image among the gray electorate, which clearly shows that she is not focused on the race with the government.
In fact, she is not really playing to win. On the contrary, her actions show that she only aims to keep a narrow category of militants close to her, in order to guarantee her longevity in the opposition. She does this because she knows she can't win, and what she needs under these conditions is just to survive. She is not working for elections, but she is working so that, firstly, no new alternative opposition is born from these elections and secondly, to secure power within the party after losing the elections.
All this shows that the opposition is no longer the opposition, as it has ceased to be an alternative to the government. She is not fighting to overthrow the government, but to overthrow anyone who challenges Sali Berisha's monopoly over the opposition.
Basically their fight is a fight against time, against reason, against the laws of nature that condition every living being. Remaining 34 years in the same physiognomy, the same way of doing politics, the same rhetoric, the same people with a shameful history of corruption and arrogance, they can no longer offer anything in Albanian politics.
Naturally people seek change, transformation, reformation, which they cannot provide. Under these conditions, the only way they have to stay alive is to not allow anything new to be born, in the hope that their coftina will be the only thing that can fill the vacuum of the lack of an alternative.
For this reason, yesterday's fire in the Parliament is not intended to burn Edi Rama nor to protect Salianji. That fire is intended to burn the opposition land to prevent something new from sprouting. The purpose of this action as well as the next protest is to produce the spectacle of a false conflict, in order to keep the political debate in the terms of the pulpit. The polarization and tension of the political scene does not allow attention for other actors and for alternative opposition discourses. The focus remains on the Rama-Berisha dialectic, as the only dialectic on the market.
It must be said here that all this cannot be done without the play of Edi Rama, who is offering Berisha the opportunity to prolong his agony. Both sides keep themselves in the game, picking each other as opponents and polarizing the pretend battle between them to the exclusion of every other actor.
Under these conditions, everything would be quite easy if there wasn't an important factor in the middle: SPAK. It is a problem that in fact both sides cannot avoid, and which is ruining their game and sleep. His stability and the deepening of the blows against the untouchables of Albanian politics, remains the only way out of the hostage-taking that this policy has done to the country for decades.
