There is nothing in the public marital quarrel that would lead us to believe that this separation is creating any advantage whatsoever.
An old legend says that when a rich man tried to hide the treasure he kept hidden in the house, he dug a hole in the middle of an abandoned lot. After putting into it all the money he had collected, to distract, with his mind, the attention of the curious who might dig the hole covered with earth, he went and put a sign over it which read "Do not dig, there is no no treasure"!
This is happening to former president Ilir Meta all day today. There were days that he spent in vain, fighting with the night guards at the party headquarters and above all, remembering after 33 years that the relationship under the same roof with his wife in active politics was nepotism that prevented him from moving forward. Albanians have not had time to deal with Ilir Meta. They have their daily troubles and the criminal saga of the former president has been simply a rumor to kill time on social networks. Now Meta comes out and shouts as much as he can against SPAK. Just like the man who hid the money in the field and put the sign on top, the PL boss is drawing public attention to the investigations surrounding him. Instead of smiling in an effort to hide the situation he is in, he has chosen to wear the dynamite belt and go out to Skënderbej square. He reminds that the prosecutors face better by attacking them publicly, than by behaving according to the law of procedure, to make the defense battle where it should be, in court, and not in press conferences.
After the recent split of Ilir Meta, the Freedom Party today resembles a similar political "crash" with the Reestablishment. Paradoxically, in both headquarters today there are two leaders who curse SPAK and everything related to it from morning to night, while their deputies go to the television studios to repeat mechanically that they respect the new justice. In both headquarters today, two presidents rule with an iron hand, dividing the imaginary positions of prime minister and deputy prime minister, although one is not allowed to leave the house, while the other fights with the night guards of the party headquarters.
With the introduction of the political couple Meta-Kryemadhi into crisis, after the many-month-long quarrels of Berisha-Basha, the opposition completes its cycle of disintegration, offering us an absurd spectacle of impossibility, destruction and defactoring on the eve of the next parliamentary elections. When the minority in the Assembly has to face the negotiation for the next election law, Rama is sailing calmly towards not changing the current formula, while his opponents have their hands busy with justice or with ridiculous battles within themselves.
Many people today in Albania are scratching their heads to find out why Ilir Meta needs an internal war in a party that has been halved, where there are no more heads to cut, as my wife told you at the Convention. There are many who think that a well-thought-out game is being played out between the oldest couple of Albanian politics, a strategy work to confuse the cards on the table now that SPAK has knocked on the door.
This is how the amateurs of conspiracy theories read Ilir Meta's erratic behavior, who appears on social networks one time petting a cat on the streets, another time smelling the flowers in the courtyards of Tirana or riding on top of bars in the streets hill, and another time cursing Altin Dumanin with street language. A psychic stream that is sold with full awareness by the former president as the new strategy towards victory over Rama and Duman.
Nothing like that is going to happen. Neither will he win over Rama, nor will he frighten Duman. He will only lose the last bit of the image of seriousness that he had left, which he started to leave as a hostage since he was president and went and argued with the policemen at the party headquarters. Ilir Meta is not telling us that he has a plan, he is telling us that he doesn't have one anymore, except to blow up anyone who is close to him. Including Monika Kryemadhi, whom he should have seen as the main ally in this dark hour, and not as the imaginary cause of a crisis that is his, and not that of others.
There is nothing in the public marital quarrel that would lead us to believe that this separation is creating any advantage whatsoever. No one can argue that the exclusion of women from the party or the invention of hostile groups in an environment where there is almost no one left to punish can create any criminal or political advantage. What we see is just the running of a wounded bull of Albanian politics who is taking what he can find. Even his closest people.
