From Demet to Këlliçi: Why is there so much conflict and hatred

The DP has suffered and continues to suffer in these three decades from the blindness of the crowd, from the myopia of its leaders and deputies, and from the lack of courage to speak the truth at the right time.

In recent days, videos of the discussions of the "motionists" and their confrontation with the lynching language, with the pathological hatred and insults of the militants orchestrated by Sali Berisha were brought to attention. It is 1992. Compared to today, even though 33 years have passed, it seems as if nothing has changed. It is the same lynching language, it is the same annihilating philosophy, it is the same source that inspires the blind crowd towards hatred and lynching. It is Berisha, 33 years younger, who has not changed even today, at the end of his eighth decade of life.

What impressed me in the video of the lynching of Arben Demet are the two characters on Berisha's side. The first is Tomor Dosti, a former prisoner, a former persecuted person and the son of a great personality, Hasan Dosti. He is on Berisha's side when people are lynched and despised, because of their opinions and attitudes. From the man who was expected more than others to be on the side of those who thought differently. The second is Eduart Selami, who comes from the academic world. His frozen smile speaks more than his words. Both of them have him in the middle, they are happier than ever, they support him and warm his shoulders.

It is the year '92. The history of the DP could have changed if the evil within its ranks had not been allowed to grow and take root. The irony of fate was that their day would not be too far away for the same scene to be repeated as the one against Demet, Pashko, Zogaj, Imam, Ceka, etc. Eduart Selami would be declared an enemy and expelled from the DP in April 1995, while Tomor Dosti would be expelled, reviled, lynched and accused of being a spy, in November '96.

It is a mentality inspired by a mountaineer, who has conceived and continues to conceive politics according to the canon of the mountains, where the only meritocracy is blind obedience to it and the only way to last long in politics is to become weak enough to accept everything, even when it goes against all logic.

The DP in these three decades has suffered and continues to suffer from the blindness of the crowd, from the myopia of its leaders and deputies and from the lack of courage to tell the truth at the right time. Expulsion after expulsion and lynching after lynching. It is a great misfortune that today there are still blind people who curse on behalf of Berisha, lynch on his behalf, threaten or are blinded by his lying rhetoric. It is a movie repeated hundreds of times. After Dosti and Selami, it was the turn of many others on that podium, even, without exaggeration, everyone.

The same continues today. See the orchestrated attacks on Belind Këlliç, who was one of the most zealous in starting the internal conflict within the DP in his 'war' against Basha. After being used and given the idea that he would be important in that party, today he finds himself attacked and lynched, certainly not without the 'blessing', even if tacit, of Berisha.

 When you see what happened in the past and how history continues today, you wonder how it is possible for a party that was supposed to be right-wing to consume so much conflicting and hateful language that it seems as if history has stood still, not learning any lessons from the past. It continues to repeat itself like an endless comedy.
