The scenes of violence and horror that took place on Thursday morning in the hall and the courtyard of the Parliament, finally showed that the Democratic Party has divided its mind. It wants its power to come from violence. "Civil disobedience" is understood as an attack on the Parliament, the State Police, the Guard of the Republic, the Municipality of Tirana, the Prime Minister's Office, i.e. all the legitimate institutions of the country. In a democratic country, such acts of violence by deputies remain ugly and reprehensible.
The Democratic Party considers the Parliament as the "barracks of a foreign army" and as the Temple of Free Speech. This Leninist mentality, where "enemy objects must be attacked until power is taken", will not lead you anywhere in a democratic country. Albania 2024 is not Albania 1944 or 1997. Maximum awareness is needed from the entire DP parliamentary group, in case they do not want the annihilation of that political force. The majority of deputies of that party probably have all their legitimate right to oppose, protest, or to disagree with what the ruling and parliamentary majority does. But there are some rules, laws, and "red lines" that should not be violated. Lined up in front of the word and the order coming from the mayor Berisha's palace, and the anxiety that they may or may not have their name on the new list tomorrow, the deputies of that party are violating the laws, rules and elementary norms of a legislator's behavior.
Today, the law is equal for anyone who commits a crime, administrative, criminal offense, or something else that goes against the law. The Democratic Party has its "doctrine" the use of violence. Let's not forget the macabre violence of May 1996, when between "Skënderbej" square and the boulevard of Tirana, the opposition of the Socialist Party of that time were beaten with nails, rubber sticks and other tools. Not even its high representatives were spared, as they protested the open theft of votes in the elections. Walking with the mindset of violence even after 30 years in politics means not changing anything about yourself. In democracy, free vote determines the winner, violence always the loser. Power comes from violence under certain political conditions, but never in democracy.
Albania, as a post-communist country, has had a hard time forgetting the "shadow" of the power of the dictatorship of the proletariat, so such "shades" often appear, even among politicians who came from that long period of that system. Berisha remains the only politician of the transition, who stands out for the implementation in theory and practice of verbal and physical violence against the political opponent, forgetting (un)intentionally that power in democracy never passes through violence.
