By Adi Krasta/ Having an opposition stance in Albania is an extraordinary luxury

Who knows what those hundreds of demonstrators who gathered back then to force Albania's Prime Minister Rama to abandon the chemical weapons deal are thinking now, even though they had no idea what would happen to clean them up, of course.

It was a political issue, but especially a technological one.

They considered it with a kind of naivety that they had scared the prime minister. They did not realize at the time that he had only made a small adjustment to the trajectory, which practically only began to seriously decline much later.

Why didn't those people who gathered in the square then consider the destruction of the National Theater, not the destruction of the building, to be scandalous, terrible, and worthy of gathering?

The destructive concept of the most cherished Albanian values. Why don't they consider Prime Minister Rama's activity today valuable, not only to gather and protest, but to protest strongly and even with a milestone, with a time limit.

Let me tell you in just 23 seconds what is happening with the Prime Minister of Albania, Rama. He, in the face of strong accusations made against him in Kosovo, but not only, that he has common symbiotic interests with President Vu?i?, writes an article in which he asks the European Union that Albania and Serbia be admitted as shattered countries, without commissioners and without value, without weight in the European Union, just to preserve their personal power.

Is it a blunder, say analysts?
No, it's well-calculated.
He doesn't care about Albania's entry into the EU, he only cares about extending his rule.

Right in the midst of accusations that he is destroying the justice system, he forces parliament and forces the mandates committee not to release the mandate of Deputy Prime Minister Ms. Balluku to make way for SPAK to continue its activities.

And especially, at the moment when it is claimed that the prime minister's behavior with journalists and the media is not only selective, with 16 faces, but for his opponents it is crazy, harsh, uncontrolled and unacceptable.

And apparently, that's how it could go even now that he doesn't hold back from opposing the opposition media in this country.

Because, in this very gloomy, unsettled, unstable Albania, having an opposition stance and not having the Albanian Prime Minister do anything to you is an extraordinary luxury. In this whole panorama, the German approach has changed, not necessarily that of the ambassador here, although I am convinced that he has changed too, but of the institutions and those who lead in Germany.
