Unity is the only thing Sali Berisha cannot do for the opposition.
Ervin Salianji's next meeting in Fier is worth understanding that the Democrats no longer obey Sali Berisha. Berisha's ultimatums against those who participate in meetings with Salianji seem to no longer be valid. Nor are the statements that Salianji has self-excluded himself "for crossing the red line", which is not known what it is.
The Fier hall was full of new faces of the opposition who are demanding its unification. And unification is the only thing that Sali Berisha cannot do for the opposition.
This decline in Berisha's authority among the grassroots democrats has gradually begun to reflect on the DP deputies, but also on other opposition political actors.
After Berisha's firm opposition to boycotting the Territorial Reform, some MPs resisted him at the Parliamentary Group meeting and forced him to pretend that he had not called for a boycott. Not that he will participate in the roundtable, but he will look for a new reason for the boycott and not that arrogant non-participation without any explanation.
This shows that the awareness of some DP MPs about the boycott of the Territorial Reform in 2015 was very strong as a major mistake by the DP, which later cost them years in electoral campaigns.
And Berisha was ousted without much glory from his personal decision to boycott. Now we have to wait and see what new reason he will invent to boycott it.
But even beyond the DP, all other opposition actors have clearly rejected Berisha.
Agron Shehaj has rejected it, among other things, as a risk for the loss of his party's identity, but also for Berisha's aggressive stance towards the judiciary, which has accused him of corruption.
Arlind Qori also rejects both poles of politics due to his anti-establishment political profile.
Adriatik Lapaj is in a dilemma whether to enter the DP tent on the boulevard or have the DP come to his tent, but it seems he is not happy that he is being presented as a protest manager and not as a politician.
Dashamir Shehi, a veteran right-wing politician, said today that Berisha is no longer valuable as an opposition asset.
The reason is that he cannot make the opposition either united or victorious.
This encirclement of Berisha, from the grassroots Democrats and onwards to the deputies of the parliamentary group and other opposition actors, in fact draws an isolation of him from all sides, becoming the most unacceptable figure of the opposition. He behaves like a monarch of the Democrats, but they are rejecting him by filling the halls for Salianji. He behaves as a dictater of every political decision of the DP and is humiliated in front of the deputies who reject the idea of a boycott. He talks about unity of the opposition and rejects every opposition factor.
Worse than that cannot happen to someone who claims to lead the opposition to victory. That's why Salijanj's latest proposal that the candidate for prime minister be the one who will succeed in uniting the opposition – the one thing Berisha cannot do – seems even more realistic.
