Berisha's battle to do politics with these damages, besides being annoying, is also unproductive, as it simply raises the ball to Edi Rama, presenting him as the savior of a battle that is not all that heroic...
A video and photo that I had posted yesterday of the consequences of the fires in Delvina in a reportage was reposted today by Sali Berisha, who raised the alarm about the burning of olive trees and vineyards. Then, as usual, his conspiracy theories, that Edi Rama burned the olive trees because he will build resorts on the Delvina plateaus.
There is something deeply frivolous when Sali Berisha deals with natural disasters, and this has to do with his desire for them to be as severe and as irreparable as possible. He has had this in every natural disaster the country has had during his years in opposition. But it has been most flagrant with the earthquake and the pandemic, where every day he came out and mourned, as if what was happening was not enough.
And in both cases, he lost the battle badly. In fact, those two disasters, one natural and the other human-made, almost turned in Edi Rama's favor for a third term. If it weren't for the earthquake and the pandemic, Edi Rama would be heading towards the elections with the political scandals of 2017 and 2018, which are haunting him.
Thanks to the earthquake and the 1.3 billion euros he managed to raise worldwide, he turned the natural disaster into an unusual political opportunity, to provide much better homes to thousands of citizens affected by the disaster. The same goes for the pandemic: the courage to open the country to foreigners is actually the starting point of the tourism boom we are experiencing now.
But even if he hadn't succeeded, it wouldn't have been a big responsibility on his part.
But the truth is that those misfortunes turned into political fortune, thanks, among other things, to Sali Berisha's necrophilia, which caused death and horror every day.
Now the same thing is happening with the fires. They have been a difficult test for the government and, thanks to God who intervened twice through rain, major tragedies that the government would not have been able to cope with have been avoided.
Currently, the most damaged area is Delvina and Gramshi. The most severe and irreparable damage at the moment is to vineyards and olive groves. But overall, the damage is small compared to other natural disasters.
Now Berisha's battle to make politics out of these damages, besides being annoying, is also unproductive, as it simply raises the ball to Edi Rama, presenting him as the savior of a battle that is not all that heroic. There are less than 100 damaged houses throughout the country, several religious buildings, mainly churches, and a special program for the renovation of vineyards and olive groves.
It is not a challenge that tests the government. On the contrary, it does it honor to appear more capable than it is. And this is thanks to Sali Berisha, a man who feels good when there is misfortune.
