Berat, there is nothing noble in a state that comes and goes without transparency, without a plan, and above all, without honesty...
Berat Buzhala, you are wrong!!!
In your writing about Theth, you cast yourself as a nostalgic traveler who remembers nights in stone inns and idealizes the state that is “protecting the Church.” But in your attempt to appear impartial and fair, you have seriously deviated from the facts.
First: it is not about "two or three villas of some strongman". The villa of that kind, which he is talking about, has been removed from the first day. It is about about 120 other buildings, most of which are guesthouses, or tourist structures that have been built by the residents of the area themselves, in recent years. Not mafia buildings, but small investments by people who have sought to survive where the state never appears, except when it comes with a vengeance.
Second: the prime minister who is collapsing today is the same one who "legalized" them before the elections. Read Berat. Don't take it for granted! It was the prime minister himself who told the residents "stay, we will regulate them by law, and we will even forgive their fines." You have his video of the promise everywhere.
So, the people you see clashing with the police today are the same ones who were cheated out of their vote just a few months ago. Therefore, the question is not “why are they demolishing them?” but “why now, at the height of the tourist season, when Thethi is full of foreign tourists, who will remember Albania as a place where residents are evicted and demolished by force?”
Third: these are not the buildings of communism, they are not cooperatives where everyone has a share, but they are just as little "Disneyland" as Paris is a ruin. There are people there with a name, a surname, a family, investments and hope. Their demolition is not only selective, but also cruel. Because no 5-star hotel with a helicopter landing pad is being demolished, nor are any resorts on the coast, they are being demolished, tourist units that were turned into guesthouses with small loans.
The last thing: this action does not bring Rama any points, neither in Dukagjin nor in the north, on the contrary, it reveals the face of a state that remembers the highlanders only when it gives them "law" lectures. If it wanted points, it would invite them to the table, it would open a dialogue. And not go to them with cannons, fire engines, and numerous police forces.
Berat, there is nothing noble in a state that comes and collapses without transparency, without a plan, and above all, without honesty.
If you really want to preserve the Church of Theth, first preserve the people who have preserved that Church for generations.
