In normal logic, the mere mention of a possibility of inheritance should be blasphemy. And it is not in vain that Sali Berisha has not given importance to these bells that have been ringing for a long time.
The debate or discussion of the theory of the family inheritance of Sali Berisha's leadership of the DP has been circulating for a long time.
A circulation that did not come from excessive or exaggerated fantasy. Argita or Shkëlzeni have never had leadership roles in the DP, but their influence has been decisive. Whether in power or in opposition. Denying this reality, even if it is done, is not believed and is being taken as a hypocritical label.
Because the fact is that the influence of Sali Berisha's children on political power was not simply lobbying. It was a real capture of decision-making or its conditioning, whether when Berisha was Prime Minister or afterwards.
Yesterday, in a meeting with his supporters, Sali Berisha said that he will not inherit the leadership of the Democratic Party to his children. The doctor took this phrase out of his mouth, as if it were a "sacro santo" verdict. A phrase, of course, prepared as a spin to get important feedback, as if we are dealing with political development.
Meanwhile, the mere mention of this fact by Berisha constitutes a high-level political scandal. Because, even though he is the man with absolute power in the DP, the doctor has no right to betray his position, even though with the absolute power he has, he could afford to do so.
But this exaggeration will do nothing but erode trust and sympathy among the already quite small "right" electorate. Found in a statistical stagnation where the 70% NO figure has not been in play for several years, Sali Berisha made a move to make "news". With the hope of reviving or igniting a spark in the swampy environment of the opposition.
In normal logic, the mere mention of a possibility of inheritance should be blasphemy. And it is not in vain that Sali Berisha has not given importance to these bells that have been ringing for a long time.
Because, as an experienced and intelligent politician, I know that this is a "trap" issue. Where if you fall, you create a big problem for yourself that could remain like a bullet tied to your leg for a long time.
But this time Berisha let go of this balloon, because the needle has actually been tied to his leg for a long time. To be exact, since May 21, 2021, when the United States government declared him Non grata, along with his wife and two children.
In this difficult situation, where there is nothing more difficult in reality, the battery of muffs makes no impression at all. Not only in the abstract auditoriums of the lectern theaters, but also in the Albanian public media environment. Where the most quoted voices are those who predict the cataclysms of the evening, along with the parodies of the flat earth and geopolitical frustrations.
There will most likely be a series of "analyses" that Berisha, by denying the tragedy, has sent a signal to America, or is preparing his political successor to spite Saljan. But this is the enigma of 2026 and it is very likely that the panels will be postponed until the summer holidays. Then we'll see and do...
