What does August 4 show about the upcoming elections?

Analyst Andi Bushati

The sudden announcement of the election race for Himara, on August 4, is the best test to understand what a farcical general election we will have next spring.

What had happened so far constituted a scandal in itself. Edi Rama used a policeman who fabricates evidence, supported by a dozen delinquents in SPAK and GJKKO, to nullify the verdict of the voters of May 14.

In this 14-month ordeal, we saw fake witnesses such as Arsen Rama, a KGB-minded police chief, such as Ermal Hajdini, falsified records of wiretapping, evidence obtained illegally, before vote-buying from which they "disappeared" ” traces of the payer, falsified criminal certificates, court decisions about the false witness that were kept hidden.

This chain of manipulations, which is much longer, contains within itself a simple conclusion: the elections, the free vote, the democratic game have value, only if the beneficiary likes Edi Rama. If it is the opposite, instead of enjoying the mandate of the people, he ends up in prison. Therefore, from this fable, the question arises, what is the value of entering the race, not simply against the renaissance candidate, but also against the oligarchs who finance him, the journalists who embellish him, the bandits who brave him, the bashibozuks of the police who work for him , the SPAK mercenaries who serve them, and if the miracle happens that can happen once in a hundred cases, that is, if you manage to defeat this wretched coalition, in the end they will erase everything by handcuffing you.

This is enough to understand the farce of our votes. But the Beleri process is not going to surprise us. The persistence of his political elimination plan tarnished other institutions in recent days. While the mandate as mayor, after his sentence took final form, should be legally terminated by the prime minister, the latter went to the end of the game of the one who throws the stone and hides his hand. He left it at the door of the CEC. And with his head down and the syllables coming out with sadness, Ilirian Celibashi used the trick of the decriminalization law to take on this burden. However, no matter how diligent the former minister of Rama, who is now the arbiter of the elections, shows, the law provides that the injured party has time to appeal. But since Rama wanted not to hold the elections on August 4, to catch the rivals unprepared, to take advantage of a time when international attention is low, soldier Begaj was called in to play the servant.

The President of the Republic, without consulting the applicant, as required by the post, without waiting for Beler's appeal deadlines, accepted the burning of his mandate and announced the fixed elections on the day they were ordered. So, in short, the CEC and the Presidency were recently added to the chain of "independent institutions", such as the police, SPAK and GJKKO, which in the Himara race showed that they became parties. He who will decide to compete against the renaissance on August 4th will have all of these against him, praying that he will lose, to avoid the worst… jail.

Of course, his fate is predetermined, but it serves us to understand one thing: the increasingly legible farce of our choices. In this perspective, Himara on August 4, is the dress rehearsal of the 2025 race, when whoever tries to go against Rama, will have his entire personalized state in front of him./ CNA
