For a long time, Edi Rama has been treating himself as someone who is above the law and has trivialized this concept so much that his soldiers protect him without blushing.
Socialist MPs in the investigation commission for concessions in health showed an iron resistance, in order not to allow the questioning of Prime Minister Edi Rama, regarding the PPPs that have cost the state budget nearly half a billion Euros.
Although the opposition insisted that they had won the right to summon anyone they saw fit from the Constitutional Court, their claims fell on deaf ears. The opposing arguments ranged from the most banal to the most ridiculous. Someone said that the commission's time expired this Thursday, and for that reason there could be no new evidence, and another defended the thesis that the opposition should be content with asking the former minister of health, Ilir Beqaj - who they only had from the cell - and he had no right to ask for more than that.
So far there is nothing to be surprised about. For a long time, Edi Rama has been treating himself as someone who is above the law and has trivialized this concept so much that his soldiers protect him without blushing. He is asked in interpellations in the assembly and ignores them. He is called for a motion by the deputies and he will not even know that he is obliged to give an account. Even worse than that. Simply by claiming that he doesn't like it, he prevents the right of the opposition to set up investigative commissions, where he is involved, such as those for personal charter trips, or those for closing the Agon Channel television, for which the Albanian state is expected to pay over 100 million euros in damages.
This behavior of a piglet more equal than others within the same farm, is no longer a problem for Rama himself. He has publicly announced his behavior as an autocrat who contemptuously disregards democratic rules. But it creates at least two problems among those who are considered his opponents, or independent powers that should theoretically control him.
In the first place, it unmasks those oppositionists who play the role of useful morons, shouting up and down that the battle with the prime minister is not taking place in the street, but in the assembly; that in the race with him, more than protests, ideas have value; arguments are more important than flamboyants, confrontations are more useful than boycotts. The question for them is simple: how can you become a part of this challenge when one side refuses investigative commissions, interpellations or motions? What good does normality bring in an abnormal state?
While the next question is for SPAK prosecutors. Do they want to be a little more independent than Plarent Ndreca or Edona Bilali in today's investigative commission? These last two, along with other Renaissance colleagues, were firm in their belief that it is unimaginable to think that Edi Rama can give an account. The behavior of the "heroes of our children" is the same. They know that Rama is equally responsible for the affair that imprisoned Berisha, but without imagining going further, they show fear even to ask him about how a sports field turned into a construction site. They have internalized Ilir Meta, with the accusation that to pass a law he would be rewarded with a villa, but they do not dare to take evidence to the one who publicly defended the law and who gave twice the votes of the LSI to approve it. They shook the handcuffs of plum and apple eaters, Koka and Ahmetaj, but "forgot" the boss who ordered them to pay for the non-existent incinerators.
So between a woolen renaissance that is a party and a Spakist hero that is removed as an independent, it seems like there is no big difference. Both behave according to the regime's motto: "Rama stands above the law". Just as the former obstruct investigative commissions, testimonies, motions and interpellations, the latter do not even dare to interrogate the "big boss". This is precisely why the disgusting scenes we saw today at the health concessions investigation cannot make SP deputies blush. Their shells have already cracked. They are rather a stain of shame on those who play the role of independent.
