Here you have all the actors of the press in favor of Ilir Meta and Sali Berisha and the people against the press and against them. This is the first sentence that the new justice is giving to the Albanian press.
If you are a foreigner in Tirana, as in a country you don't know, and you watch the TV debates in the evening, you find that 90 percent of the guests accuse the justice system as corrupt and political and defend high officials of official corruption who even without justice in Albanian society they were perceived as such.
If you don't know the Albanian reality and you don't have a guide to clarify it, you really think that here a bunch of prosecutors and judges are taking power and putting the entire political elite of the country in jail, but more of the opposition according to debate analysts .
But if you go out on the streets the next day or look at the reactions of public opinion in the comments of these commentators, you will see that 90 percent of Albanians are with justice and SPAK against the lawyers of the victims of justice.
And this is a heartless and unspoken sentence of justice for the Albanian press.
Today, SPAK is not only punishing politics, but indirectly it is punishing the Albanian press, or better to say, the political "influencers" of the Albanian press, whose actors who have kept them alive on stage are running away.
It is not true that most of my colleagues are worried about the fate of Berisha, Meta and Rama or his ministers who are going to prison. Nor do they have an iota of pity for them, despite the fact that they mourn publicly without a tremor in their voice.
To be honest, from a human side, I feel sorry for most of them that I have known regardless of what they are facing.
The Albanian press is suffering the decline of its guarantors and above all the decline of its importance.
The first is that with the elimination from the political scene of the most corrupt figures of the transition, the Albanian press is losing its secret sponsors, those who have created the false authority of the Albanian press in political decision-making and power in Albania.
Thanks to this false importance, the Albanian press has turned into the biggest trafficker of influence in the country and enjoys undeserved benefits for an importance that it really does not have.
And the facts are showing that the press has been a mechanism to create political illusions between the main actors or a tool to convey semi-mafia messages to each other, but not an instrument to influence public opinion.
Here you have all the actors of the press in favor of Ilir Meta and Sali Berisha and the people against the press and against them. This is the first sentence that the new justice is giving to the Albanian press.
The second reason why all the people with influence in the Albanian press have aligned themselves in favor of Berisha and Meta, away tomorrow and in favor of Fatmir Mediu, is not that they feel pain in prison, but that the mechanism of pressure against the government has disappeared, losing its importance.
Most of them are more friends with Edi Rama than Berisha and Meta, but they need Berisha and Meta to tell Edi Rama that if he doesn't meet our requirements, we have these others. More than the decline of the opposition, they are concerned about the decline of the opposition actors that they had in hand against the government, as they created the idea of their importance. That the opposition can only grow and strengthen with the departure of these characters, but the importance of the press associated with them, of course, declines.
And finally, this press that is today in Albania, being a pyramidal press, not self-financing and connected to privileges from politics, looks at the decline of political balances and the emergence of new political actors, the danger of ignoring their importance and as a consequence their lack of funding.
The Albanian press has become so big, so expensive and so disconnected from the market that it needs this political swamp to survive.
SPAK is severely punishing him not only by removing these guarantees, but also by pitting him against public opinion.
It must be the only case in the world, that at such a moment, the Albanian press is against justice, which has 90 percent support in public opinion.
So the Albanian press today experiences the days of the counter-mission of the press, but it no longer represents the public interest, but the opposition of public opinion.
And this is one of the most severe punishments that SPAK and the new justice are giving to the Albanian press without imposing any charges, without sentencing any of them to prison, but by throwing the actors of the press, like dog meat to the public opinion. To tear them.
