For Berisha and Rama, the replacement's job is considered closed once and for all, only they can lead, only the two of them have a say in everything in their formations and the life of the country.
The statement "My name is Nobody" was said to the Cyclops Polyphemus, son of Poseidon, by Odysseus and is recorded in Homer's "Odyssey." He didn't say it directly to Poseidon, who would he be referring to, but Odysseus used this clever trick to escape the Cyclops monster from the cave.
Yes, Ulysses is unimaginable in wisdom, and the mention of his name is associated with all the skills that changed the narrative of the myth.
Far away in time, in an extremely small country, along with those whose numbers are not enough in the map indexes, are the politicians who mock and have made fun of a small, constantly poor country. Albanian "history" has already left two of them in the field, namely the all-powerful Prime Minister of the country, Edi Rama; and facing him the opponent and the greatest protagonist of the country's political life (post '90), Sali Berisha, the former president and former Prime Minister of the country and the irrevocable leader of the DP since the first days of Democracy. We say so because no one has had any power in 35 years in this formation, where so many hopes were pinned. Those who have dared have suffered with expulsion, insults, abuse or worse yet...
In this vein, in recent days, referring to the figure of Fatos Nano, Prime Minister Edi Rama described him as his political father, while admitting that he still does not have a political son to replace him. There is no need to understand Rama's true conviction about this because you look at the way he treats the party and the political choreography of all the activity of the Socialist Party under his leadership. He speaks, analyzes, criticizes and it is understood that he initiates everything alone. In this space it is difficult for someone, not to say impossible, to hope for growth. Veliaj, with his great ambitions, has started a long journey with Justice, when other names are completely absent from the SP's platform. The first is because they do not want to get involved in an absurd battle, and the second is because Rama carries the specter of the election winner and this is a seal.
For Berisha, this argument doesn't even make sense. The Democratic Party was created by him, he gave it its spirit, and whoever dared to challenge him saw where he ended up. The luckiest ones have returned and have been transformed in their convictions and especially in the way they have continued their careers (not to mention the benefits they have had). In private conversations, behind the scenes of shows, one can hear all kinds of epithets, comparisons and figures for Rama-Berisha, but in party activities no one can (They are now articulating something more about Berisha).
So for both Berisha and Rama, the job of the replacement is considered closed once and for all, only they can lead, only they both have a say in everything in their formations and the life of the country. That's why their monologues are endless and those who support them are mostly those who expect at any moment for both of them to slip, not from the rules of the political game, rotation in case of defeat, or resignation, but from some Deus ex machina.
For their part, Rama and Berisha continue to play this role very well with jokes, plugged ears and especially the cynicism that often makes them more grotesque than their tiresome power. But, people are content with them and especially the belief that there is no one: More honest and better than them. Who can replace Rama and Berisha?! - everyone repeats. Hey, who, - the militants shout, because they know the answer. A philosopher who knew politics well could enlighten them and could shake them if they were not so blind: "Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid person is more likely to be honest than a smart person, and our politicians benefit from this prejudice by pretending to be even more stupid than nature has made them."
Bertrand Russell in "New Hope for a Changing World" said what Odysseus did simply dozens of centuries before him, when he did not want to respond to the challenge of the son of one of the gods with the supposedly absurd expression: "I am Nobody": We are nobody before these. No one can change the people who have seized power in our country, because they know that no "odd" like Odysseus can change the true Gods of the country.
