Sali Berisha knows better than anyone that the start of the trial against him will shake his positions in the party. That's why he raised his voice by attacking Altin Dumani, in order to listen to his deputies, who have been silent because they are waiting for the division of the "cake" of the group leader and the heads of the parliamentary committees...
Sali Berisha's biggest political challenger so far appears to be Ilir Alimehmeti, who is demanding that the Electoral College open preferential votes within the DP to see his real position in the elections.
This is an action that has not received the signature and seal of the DP, but an individual legal act. Aulon Kalaja, candidate for MP in Durrës, has sent to SPAK the indications he has of what he calls internal vote theft. Meanwhile, other candidates for MPs come out daily and talk about "friendly fire".
Meanwhile, the group of MPs who were placed on the closed lists in exchange for coming with Berisha from Lulzim Basha's former parliamentary group are silent today. There are very few people who are defending Berisha, except for Flamur Noka, who not without reason asked the group of the National Council of the DP to go to SPAK on Monday morning. A typical provocation, which was intended to take the pulse and take note of who the real "players" are.
But why is this situation happening now? Apart from a spontaneity that may come from a personal initiative, everything has a reason: the initiation of the criminal process against Sali Berisha.
The process, which is the most important development, even though most television stations that broadcast evening political shows do not want to call it that and fill them with issues fabricated by the DP propaganda offices.
The preliminary judge's decision, according to the new justice reform, is fundamental for a case to proceed to trial. Anyone who knows the law at all will say that we are dealing with a 50% guilty verdict.
Accordingly, the three judges who will judge the case on the merits will have to take the operative part of the decision of the previous judge as a basis.
Meanwhile, the marathon process that will turn into a powerful media event is completely different from the footage of the entrance and exit of the Special Prosecution Office. As there will be a daily battle between the parties in the process; evidence, witnesses, procedural warfare and tricks to block it.
The trial, if it is not held in public – which is likely to happen – will be a huge scandal. However, things will flow and the dynamics of the first trial for a huge scandal such as the seizure of state property, giving it to his daughter, and then the construction of 19 towers from scratch in that territory will be learned.
Sali Berisha knows better than anyone that the start of the trial against him will shake his positions in the party. That's why he raised his voice by attacking Altin Dumani, in order to listen to his deputies, who have been silent because they are waiting for the division of the "cake" of the group leader and the heads of the parliamentary committees.
Meanwhile, those who have not been elected MPs seek to remain in the game for the upcoming local elections, namely by offering themselves as potential candidates for mayor.
A game that Sali Berisha has shown he plays quite differently; as he always appoints those who do not make noise and does not see them as a potential danger. But this time he does not have the power to play openly, precisely because of the process; the political consequences of which will be visible from the first session when the prosecutors will read the indictment and present the list of witnesses. And where, in all likelihood, Berisha's lawyers will attempt the procedural game of gaining time - but now, they have less space.
