The Prime Minister, gripped by the anxiety of the Vučić syndrome, told internationals that he would only leave when Albania joins the EU, while he gave the socialists a cold message: after him, the party would return to opposition...
For the first time, Edi Rama spoke about his successor. After 15 years of talk about the "third life" and painting after politics, he declared that he would hand over the baton to Blendi Fevziu, after having signed the EU membership. In the studio, Fevziu dismissed it with a chuckle, but the message had no connection with the Albanian public, already tired of Rama's words. The real signal was for the diplomats dealing with Albania: the Americans and the Europeans.
This part of the interview was not commented on even by its only reviewer in the media, who, it must be said, did not give it any response at all. Nor did Baton Haxhiu, who, as always, makes his schematic drawings to convey the "deep visionary".
In reality, Edi Rama knew that he would not resonate with Albanian opinion, since his speech has been ingrained in people's stomachs for 15 years. But it seems that the intended message was aimed at another, slightly more select audience. The audience of diplomacy of countries that deal with Albania; such as the Americans and the European Union states.
Rama told the internationals that he is ready to leave, but only if Albania joins the EU. So: “open the doors of the Union to me and I will leave”. A coded agreement, which translates as pressure and hostage-taking. In parallel, he also gave a signal about the type of power he has built: he is handing over the baton not to the socialists, but to a figure who symbolizes the media connected to the oligarchy. Fevziu is the metaphor of the financial-political clan that Rama keeps close, along with his early pact with Sali Berisha.
Here, he spoke to two lobbies, with whom he has been in agreement for years, the political one with Sali Berisha at the helm and the financial one with the oligarchs.
This is a humiliating message for the Socialists. They have been in power for four consecutive terms, and the reward they get is this: their prime minister warns them that the opposition is coming after him. Not a transition, not a continuity, but a deliberate vacuum that could turn the Socialist Party into political ruins.
The tacit Rama-Berisha agreement, detailed two years ago, continues. The essence is the same: to preserve the power of the old caste, a troubled peace where "they eat the meat but keep each other's bones."
The baton for Fevziu is a code of financial agreement: profits on properties and contracts will be divided according to shares, regardless of who is in power or who is in opposition.
Meanwhile, another part of Edi Rama's coded message was the continuation without any concessions of the pact started with Sali Berisha two years ago, when the doctor accepted the severe conditions of a humiliating agreement.
So lose and lose, provided that there is a chance to maintain power in the opposition, plus the benefits of economic contracts, until Rama leaves...
This is the version of Edi Rama, who is apparently anxious about what he is smelling from the Western chancelleries. Which, it seems, have given him a warning that he could have the fate of Ivo Sanader in Croatia. Before he was arrested, he announced that he would leave as soon as he entered his country into the EU. Which happened, so Croatia entered the EU, but only after Sanader was arrested./ Pamphlet
