Go away Saliu!

Go away Saliu!

There is a commonly used thesis, mainly by "left-wing minds", the analysts of television stations, as our prime minister calls them, who say that "the opposition is in this state because of Saliu", "Rama falls and Saliu leaves", "Saliu will never come to power".

These theses and theories focus exclusively on Saliu, because analysts are left-wing and do not like Sali Berisha.

Some have their own personal problems that have been going on for decades, but their problem is not that Saliu should leave. Their problem is that the opposition should become a mere straw man.

We hear people say that the opposition will not unite and will not come to power if Saliu, who is the leader of the largest opposition party, does not leave.

If they want Saliu to leave, they have other alternatives.

Let them join Agron Shehaj and the new MP Erald Kapri, who received 50 thousand votes, in their causes, let them go to protest with Agron Shehaj, let them become bigger than Saliu and overthrow Rama, and then unite.

If they don't like Agron Shehajn, they have another alternative, Adriatik Lapaj is the only one in front of the Prime Minister's Office, no one is going to support him. If they don't like Lapaj either, they can find other alternatives.

Go away Saliu!

But even if they unite as the opposition, as a single front, they will still say they joined forces with Saliu, and Saliu must go.

Why does Saliu have to leave, so that the DP can fall apart? There should be 7 or 8 Adriatik Lapaj or Agron Shehaj and the opposition should continue to be divided, with useless alternatives, where one gets 50 thousand votes, another 20 thousand and another 30 thousand with a scheme of division just so that Saliu can leave.

This is clear, as shown by the servile analysts of the government, his supporters who emphasize in their statements that "12 years is too long for Rama. Maybe Rama should leave, but if he doesn't leave, he stays in power because he is Saliu."

No. The Socialist Party is bigger, the opposition does not have the votes of the left. This is a fact. The opposition cannot gather the dissatisfied.

What are the reasons? She must find them within herself. She loses her votes, they steal her votes, she is incapable of defending her votes.

There are 1001 arguments for and against, but you can't say "you go now sir, we like it, because if you go, they will come to power."

In fact, if Saliu leaves and there are 4 or 5 parties, how does the opposition come to power? How does Edi Rama fall?

Go away Saliu!

Therefore, these articulations are simply and only endlessly repeated messages, simply and only to impress on people's minds that Saliu must leave, because that is how they have their troubles.

It's the same story that happened with Erion Veliaj, where the Veliaj family's journalist, Mero Baze, articulated that the Ajola issue was a piece of crap, and then said these people are gossiping and crap, while it was he himself who used it as a scheme to make the issue humiliating and disgusting.

They themselves throw out the theses, they themselves use them, they themselves seek and repeat them endlessly to achieve their goal, in this specific case with the blow they want to deal to the DP, the final goal is: the dissolution of this party.

This party, which in fact, for better or worse, has 500,000 votes, 600,000 votes. And if it can't win with Saliu, let someone better come out and win.

The fault in this case is not Saliu's. The fault is our Albanian behavior, which perhaps begins and does not end with Saliu, but begins and ends with our enlightened minds./ CNA
