Neither Enver Hoxha, nor Ramiz Alia, nor Fatos Nano, nor Aleksandër Meksi, inherited any power from their children. they kept everyone away from politics, creating an environment unfriendly to nepotism.
First, Sali Berisha would have done it immediately and without any hesitation, if he had an experience, a precedent of his predecessors.
As in the First Hall, and especially the Second, Berisha's children have not been indifferent to the political environment in the country.
Of course, they started their political activism from small roles, mainly in the Faculty of Law, where both of Sali Berisha's children managed to occupy for years not only the student environment and the professorship, but also the roles of justice that the magistrates who graduated from the institution took.

That in the Balkans is no small thing. Neighboring Greece, which is a country with an older democracy than us, the oldest member of NATO, of the European Union from the beginning, from left to right, has been a clash of two or three families: Karamanlis, Papandreou , of Micotaqis. For 60 years, they have been the head of the neighboring country's government.
However, let's go back to Tirana. Sali Berisha, who has said several times that she has a weakness for his family, activated his two children in active politics from an early age.
Argita Berisha has been the most important interest group in the Democratic Party since 2005. She and her circle produced an important group of political leaders in the governance of the country, starting with Lulzim Basha, but also other names that mainly represented important second port roles in governance and in the parliamentary group.
In the first years, the lobbying of Sali Berisha's daughter was very strong, and as we saw on the ground, that of her son Shkëlzen also grew. A large part of the appointments of the most powerful institutions where there was a large budget, from properties to justice, talked about the power of the prime minister's children.
Then there was talk about Argita's entry into politics. It was even very close, but it was the circumstances that blocked it. The event? Of course, the Gërdec disaster, the Fazlic case, and many others. But it must be said that it was the voices from within the DP that served as resistance to this monarchical fusion in the Democratic Party. It was Mero Baze's interview in "Shqip" newspaper in 2007, given to journalist Erjon Ajazi, that served as a strong spark.
At that time, I was in the political editorial office of "Shqip" and together with my colleague Ajazi we prepared the questions. The newspaper was sold out in two hours. Then we had the positions of President Bamir Topi, the late Sokol Olldashi, Astri Patoz, but also Jozefina Topalli, which in a certain way had a positive effect in curbing the monarchical deviation of the DP.
But Sali Berisha did not stop this aspiration, let's say, after he introduced his son-in-law, Jamarbër Malltezin, into the new leadership of the opposition in 2017.
While both the daughter and the son had the power to divide the MPs and personalities who were in the Parliament or even in the public opinion as spokespersons, in the dinner panels.
Lulzim Basha, who was really a dolphin of Sali Berisha when the DP was in power, in 2017, wrote a foreword to the 2021 decision. The most quoted characters of the Berisha family did not run for MP. Specifically, Jamarbri and the former leaders of the AKP, who were also the dome of the family's television.
This is where Berisha's first and strong clash with Basha really began, that is, after May 17, 2017, when the leader of the Democratic Party made a pact with Rama. And no matter how bad that pact was, Luli did not give a damn to Berishian's legacy in PD.
This is where we are today when Sali Berisha says it in a low voice, but Argita's exit says it herself, that the doctor's daughter wants to be a protagonist in the party. Both the daughter and the father said that if he gets the votes, it is no longer taboo.
It goes a bit like an anti-current, where on the other hand the Freedom Party is fighting nepotism, even with a divorce and in the PD of the seal, the inheritance is being prepared. A perfect telenovela, that the Turkish soap opera companies would make a best seller. To nail the housewives three years before the screen, as they are really nailed from 2021. But what does Argita really bring different from Saliu? Of course, nothing, except the freshness of age, the possibility of activity, the lack of limitation of health problems, etc., etc.
Very well, but if it happens, the Berisha family will be the first, but the first at all, to introduce the right or precedent of monarchical inheritance into Albanian politics. Could this phenomenon be a precedent? Opposition memes have been talking about Zahon - prime minister for years...
