The exceptional case and the pollution of politics

Rama's indifference to the opposition, his disregard and often offensive tones, are followed by extremely offensive rhetoric from Berisha and his people towards the prime minister.

The time of approaching political campaigns is the greatest opportunity for the public to see how far politicians have come with the binomial promise & realization. This present of the beginning of 2025 is the most appropriate, where Albanians can see and become sober about their reality of recent years. In fact, the topic goes to what politicians predict as if by chance through words, thrown "as if by chance" here and there, but which then come to life at the expense of the public. What was said as if by chance about Butrint, ended in what the UNESCO-ICOMOS report defined as "deep concern" or the shrinkage of the Butrint National Park, after 600 ha were removed! It is understood that the “pragmatic approach” of the Culture authorities was justified before UNESCO observers that: “it is sacrificing this small part of the coastline, approximately 100-150 ha, but it would cement the further expansion of urbanization, thus preserving 9000 ha of the National Park”. What was said about the unsuitability of the housing went as far as the greed of the directors of the municipality to touch the homes of the citizens. Fortunately, justice did not hesitate for them, who are now awaiting the verdict of Justice.

What Rama did as a joke with foreigners about the lack of unions to attract foreign investment is motivated today by their relativization and the lack of unions in the country. If we continue with the list, it is long and disturbing, but also an indication of the vigilance in democracy, which is neglected by autocrats and those in power, completely distracting it in favor of the interest of maintaining power. There is already a term in political philosophy, which is called the exceptional case, but which provides a clear explanation because over time it is understood that the ordinary Albanian citizen is lost and the way is opened to major problems, which become the norm. What started as a simple permit with forests turned during the Berisha government into an inflation of permits, which meant up to three permits per day, according to Rama. The latter, in diversifying sources almost today in what is known as a period of close friendship with Prime Minister Meloni, had almost no consultations with the various instances for the energy agreement. To this day, it is not possible to explain what was done and what was connected with this energy agreement. Just like the one concluded a little earlier with his colleague Meloni for immigrants, which was leaked and has now been left behind. Both of these started surprisingly from the simple holiday visit of the Italian Prime Minister to Vlora...

Rama's indifference to the opposition, his disregard and often insulting tones, are followed by a very offensive rhetoric of Berisha and his people towards the prime minister. We do not intend to monitor the long list of insults, but within them are also the beginnings of agreements, numerous bargains and accusations of Albanian politics. Today, Rama bears on his shoulders all the curses of the opposition and its representatives for internal and external problems, especially those related to Kosovo. Rama's people and he himself often mock them and remind them of the open fuel trafficking during the wars of the former Yugoslavia, which the democrats now simply acknowledge in a low voice.
The public can only feel what cannot be seen in the lack of transparency, or understand between the words that politicians say, when the accusations do not subside, even though they have a beginning. This beginning is precisely in that so-called exceptional law and which is now becoming the norm in our country. It starts as a thrown word and ends in agreement and attitude.
The way to destroy all the rules, Carl Schmidt, one of the theologists of law, once explained, is to focus on the idea of ​​the exceptional case. The case of this moment is elaborated in the 17th bud of Timothy Snyder in his book “On Tyranny”, when he speaks, in addition to the problem of the increasingly visible origin of the words terrorism and extremism, also in the face of the fatalistic notion of emergencies and exceptions, where it is understood that the emphasis of politicians falls on the excessive use of patriotic vocabulary.

The latter should be taken into account today when some politicians, due to their interests, put us at constant risk of security, economy, immigration and the future of the country. The cacophony of their voices has made Albanians lose their orientation and especially the ability to plan something reasonable for the future of their country. There are numerous and "invisible" indications from which one can observe what will happen next and often not in the public interest, so much so that it is now a kind of public emergency against evil and ignorance. Not in vain, the results of the survey conducted by the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC) on security issues revealed that Albanians in a higher percentage than the region had developed plans to leave the country, Monitor recently reported. The conclusion prepared by them resulted in the fact that about 28% of Albanians had developed plans to leave: 11% had a plan, but they were not yet clear; 11% already had a defined immigration plan; 6% had clear deadlines for leaving, just as 66% did not want to leave. For the sake of a kind of relative public security; the little hope that can come from political rotation (still very necessary in the country, but the level of politicians on both sides is increasingly disappointing); the unexpected decisions of the Rama government and a chaotic government; a surrendered and only accusatory opposition, the above list shows much more. The feeling of submission to a single authority, as is happening to us in Albania, may be comforting, but this is not exactly security: It is opening the way to a reality that has made life in Albania almost worthless and in favor of a few groups. Therefore, we must be careful today, not simply when our politics uses promising words, which are associated with extremes, but also the perceptions of the perverted public, which have lost their senses of how a country can be run and what is best for them. And, it seems that freedom is now increasingly stifled, since you have to stay with all your senses open to the unexpected, which our politics forgives you. George Orwell once said it more clearly, in not so distant realities: “Sometimes I think that the price of freedom is not so much perpetual vigilance as eternal dirt”. But the price of freedom has fallen in this time of campaigning (still not officially declared) and with the pollution that has invaded everything. (Homo Albanicus)
