Is Albania in danger of becoming a sheik-state, where perhaps there will be no turbans, but in all likelihood, since the Arabs have also taken the port of Durrës, the Saracens with their turbans will have the most inhabitants of Durrës and Albanian coast.
It seems that the newest change of the government by Edi Rama, and the most important one will be the creation of the sovereign fund of hydrocarbons, as the prime minister himself made public in the press conference.
As learned, a state entity is expected to be created, which will take over the entire management of Albanian natural resources. An entity that will be bigger than a ministry, and whose short-term effect will be the reduction of the power of Belinda Balluku, who, if she remains in that position, will only manage transport.
It is not yet known which model will be applied, but the fact is that in Edi Rama's hall, advisers from the emirates have been stationed for a long time and are drafting the idea of a super-ministry that will likely turn into a big monster of power.
The head of the government said at the press conference, when he announced the discovery of oil in Shpirag, that all models will be taken, from the Norwegian one to that of the countries of the Middle East, or other energy producers.
The world has several models of natural resource management, from the liberalized one like the USA, Britain and developed capitalist countries, such as the Norwegian model, where the state has a large quota of control, but also the Arab model, where everything is in the hands of a person such as a king, emir or sultan.
However, in all cases, when we are dealing with such a large amount of reserves as stated, then the situation is dramatic.
A confidential document of the Dutch SHELL has predicted an annual production of 25-30 million barrels of oil per year. If it will be this production, with the average price of crude oil in recent years at approximately 80 dollars per power, it falls to the annual turnover to reach the figure of 1 billion 600 million dollars. Even if the Sovereign Fund receives 350 or 400 million per year, it falls to them, for 2 or 3 years, to have in their hands in a few years amounts that are 10 times the amount of PPPs that the Babloc government has managed in 10 years. And this means that this monster that will be formed has the risk of being not just a state within the state, but a 'frankenstein' that can quite simply command not only the state, but also politics, society, culture, sports, etc.
In a word, Albania will become a sheik-state, where there will probably be no turbans, but in all likelihood, since the Arabs have also taken the port of Durrës, the Saracens with their turbans will have the most inhabitants of Durrës of the Albanian coast.
There is a terrible lack of ideas or vision from opposition politicians, or representatives of society who want to enter politics. Many deputies are only dealing with short-term propaganda, according to which Edi Rama is lying that there is no oil in Shpirag, and that he is making propaganda. Meanwhile, others say that Rama is using the sovereign fund in vain, that this will be done if the state will have control over the extraction and processing of oil, as Adriatik Lapaj is saying, etc., etc.
All of these should bear in mind that SHELL is an international giant, representing the second largest hydrocarbon company in the world. She cannot say there is oil, and then not let this happen. Let it be 10 years that he spends huge sums and with a technology that is the latest. It does not help such a multinational to spoil its reputation and deal with small things. Oil, in all likelihood, has been discovered. Meanwhile, we should not take the courtesy towards the authorities as they did for Rama and Balluk as personal. Because they would do it even if Sali Berisha was in the government, when they started drilling, or someone else.
Ndërkaq, administrimi i petrodollarëve që sipas të gjitha gjasave do të jetë i madh, është përgjegjësia e Shqipërisë. E këtu opozita, nuk duhet të ndalojë që fondi sovran të jetë një përbindësh i drejtuar nga qeveria. Opozita duhet të thyejë kokën në libra e dokumente, për të gjetur të gjithë mundësitë që mos të krijohet ai monstër miliardash, që do të jetë sa 10 apo 20 herë të gjithë oligarkët që ka sot Edi Rama me vete.
Think Gazprom and its power to corrupt all European media and politics from Putin. Divide it by 10, think about this in a very small reality such as Albania. Therefore, the opposition should request the establishment of a model similar to SPAK, but also with many guarantees for the management of the Fund. Even by choosing the Governing Council of the entity with 94 votes in the Parliament, and with previously defined criteria. Otherwise, if he is created, then the anecdotes about Prime Minister Zaho will no longer be so. The post will be hereditary sheikh after sheikh./ Pamphlet
