Sali Berisha seems to have closed negotiations to lend deputies to several parties to become parliamentary groups, which require at least 7 deputies.
In old Kinostudio films, there are similar scenes of fighting and battles, like that of Çerciz in the Mashkullora camp, or of partisans being surrounded in "old Tirana houses", where the besieged move from one window to another, posing with a dagger or a cobra.
"We must show the infidels that we are many," is the joke that ties these films together, as if they were written by the same hand.
In fact, although it did not come from Thucydides' "Peleponese Wars", this is a well-known, albeit overrated, tactic of guerrilla warfare. Because those facing it are not just woolly machetes, gullible corporals, or uninformed German captains.
This is how this now overused tactic looks in the Albanian Parliament, where minority parties create an archipelago of parliamentary issues called groups, as if to be negotiating parties in the great wars between Athens and Sparta.
Sali Berisha seems to have closed negotiations to lend deputies to several parties to become parliamentary groups, which require at least 7 deputies.
In addition to Meta's party, it seems that Fatmir Mediu will also have groups, perhaps even Idrizi's PDIU, which only has Mesila Doda as a member of parliament. Groups that have also existed in previous legislatures.
Meanwhile, today, through a statement, Adriatik Lapaj also admitted that he may have a relationship with opposition parties, placing his party's MP in the new groups.
Groups have administrative benefits, as unlike individual deputies, they have their own representatives in some of the parliamentary bodies, delegations, but also other pragmatic benefits, such as the relevant offices and funds provided by law.
Logically, a compact and strong opposition does not need so many scattered "combat units", as a compact, disciplined and unified squad is a troop more capable of fighting head-on with the majority.
However, the conditions for Berisha are not favorable for a frontal fight in front of a giant majority of 83 plus deputies, so he needs to shoot in some windows to stand out more.
Of course, not for the majority, that is, the direct opponent on the battlefield, since it cannot be deceived, it is all an optical illusion for the virtual battle on live television and on social networks.
Berisha is an old master of politics and he must make a pie with the dough he has, using as many scallions as possible, however small, mainly on the foreign front, where his deficiency is greatest, as a result of isolation and criminal processes.
However, this whole game, which seems to have become readable and banal at times in the eyes of the public, has not only benefits, but also problems that could arise for the opposition from this fragmentation.
This alignment could fuel the ego and ambition of the new group's MPs, to benefit from this "parallel life" that they don't get from their party, where everything is centralized.
Meanwhile, the majority values this "wide world" of the opposition, which "has the freedom and space of struggle and parliamentary control."
So in other words, it's all an illusion, a way of filling your stomach with an empty spoon, politically speaking. That new elections have come.
