So why do most aspiring leaders, with some exceptions, copy the doctor?
The marathon pace of the Celibashi recount, which seems to be reopening the most massive ballot boxes on May 11, is compounded by the lack of debate within the opposition.
A real political debate, which must begin immediately to seize the local elections on the eve, to bring out a new political class. An operation, which is the most difficult in today's politics. When not only in Albania, university departments, the press or even civil society, or even party "barracks", are no longer supplying the quality of charismatic individuals with leadership data.
The golden age of the 90s, when party leaderships were filled with university professors, diplomats, and scientists, is over. Today, "doctors" are in hyperinflation and "scientific theses" are prepared in copy-paste.
Important countries and world powers like the USA, France, Germany, Italy, etc., are finding it difficult to produce a fresh leadership class. This is of course because in the current era, there are no longer collegial groupings, but more and more personal parties.
We are living in the era of the strong leader, and decision-making will increasingly become "simpler" and more focused.
The recent case of conflict between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the ally who gave him victory in last year's elections, shows precisely this phenomenon, which is gaining strength.
In this situation that the world is suffering from in the circulation of political elites, we seem to be in our own habitat, as we have long been a "Jurassic Park" filled with political dinosaurs.
But even here, where the political quagmire is not just a propaganda phenomenon, there is a clear signal given by a large part of the opposition electorate. Which was not only given on May 11, but also in the local elections two years ago.
A signal that clearly shows that they no longer want Sali Berisha and Ilir Meta. But what has happened in the opposition space, our already fragile one? The characters who have entered the game to renew the scene are a kind of copy of Sali Berisha in the model of political discourse.
Politics is a difficult profession that requires deep knowledge and broad culture, but first and foremost, it is the profession that gives a character the most opportunities to reveal their "self" or personality to the public.
Edi Rama, when he entered official socialist politics, was not a standard "traditional" socialist, and many of the militants did not like his harsh pro-communism.
However, in the political campaigns since the first one of the Tirana municipality until today, Edi Rama has recovered and has managed to keep the entire left-wing electorate united without any hiccups. Rama does not resemble at all his predecessor Fatos Nano, who was also a prominent individual and a non-politically correct character.
Today's German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, bears no resemblance to Angela Merkel, and even won because he was her opponent in the German CDU for years.
But why do most aspiring leaders, with some exceptions, copy the doctor? Because it seems they know little, very little, to say nothing of the "opposition people". The DP people in the territory, who have been organizing elections for 34 years now and do politics without stopping, even though they have not seen power for 12 years.
Their "direct from the keyboard or phone" logic is out of touch with reality. Democrats in the territory are clear about what they want, and if they are listened to carefully, they will give them the identity of the new leadership they are seeking.
In the US, after the heavy defeat against Donald Trump, the Democrats are not talking about the new leadership, even though they do not have time, since in 2 years they have the mid-term parliamentary elections. Democratic senators and congressmen post their town halls with citizens on social networks, where it is not they who speak, but the people, activists, militants and voters.
But where are our "aspirants"? Every night they have us on television. Meanwhile, in the US, the media is critiquing the opposition about where the Democrats have lost, why they are giving Trump a free hand. Elisabeth Warren, a veteran of the Democrats, a left-wing senator elected in the ultra-democratic state of Massachusetts, told the "Democrat" New York Times: "We are listening to the people, they have their time today."
Because the Democrats experienced the bitter truth of what it means to not hold primaries, meaning not to create an alliance with the base for the new leader.
All of this is a fitting picture for our "aspirants" who copy the doctor. As for the copy, then they have the original which attracts voters election after election.
