Fatos Nano, Vilson Ahmeti and Ramiz Alia as president were also arrested here, but none of them did anything to the police, but went to the cell with dignity and came out of it with even more dignity.
There is a public outcry to mourn the indecent scene of Ilir Meta's forced removal from the car at the time of his arrest. Or rather the second part of the scene. The first part is some policemen begging the former president to get out of the car and the one who turns to them "druggies", "bastards", "hounds", "shrews", "cats... mothers and sisters". After that, of course, the police don't have much space. Either they would let him go and take off his uniform, or they would have to take him out.
What should have impressed the public mourners should have been the opposite. How is it possible for a former prime minister, former speaker of the parliament, former president not to respect an ordinary procedure of executing an order of the Prosecutor's Office, and even more to insult the policemen. This is the real news, not the drag by the cops.
Dragging by the police in the conditions of disobedience can be watched millions of times. But only once you can see a former president, former prime minister, former speaker of the parliament who abuses the police like a thug from his mother and sister, calls them bastards, drug addicts, thugs and refuses to follow their orders. This speaks a lot about what we have had at the head of the state and not who we have at the head of the police.
The arrest of a senior political leader is of course dignified. But to be such, the victim must be dignified. There are many cases in the history of the world that leaders many times more powerful than Ilir Meta have ended up in handcuffs, but have preserved their dignity. Even Milosevic, who was equally a god for the Serbian police, when they arrested him, they dragged him away, not because of his fault, but because of the danger posed by the police action.
Mubarak was taken to court on a stretcher and Georgia's Shakashvili was dragged because he would not surrender. But none of them insulted the police. Ilir Meta wanted to be victimized in the hope that public opinion would deal with the police and not with the SPAK file.
Unfortunately for him, except for those who want to make a fool of him on this difficult day, no one is bothered by that scene. This is not the first prime minister to be arrested. Fatos Nano, Vilson Ahmeti and Ramiz Alia as president were also arrested here, but none of them did anything to the police, but went to the cell with dignity and came out of it with even more dignity.
This self-victimization of Ilir Meta before the detention is a shame for him and not for the police. It is a shame for all of us, for every Albanian, politician or journalist who voted for him even once or supported him to become Prime Minister, Speaker of the Assembly and President of this country. In politics, many are forgotten for how they enter, but everyone remembers them for how they exit. And Ilir Meta will be remembered more for how he got out of the car, than how he got out of politics.
As a street person.
