By Ilir Bushi. Meta apparently knows the game of dominoes very well: the double six has to remain in Majko’s or Nano’s hand so that he can enter the game himself at the end as the winner. It is now clear that the Socialist Party’s schemes have failed, because those in power have not been sincere toward the institutions and the people. For this reason, he is quick to declare that “the time for clowning around is over,” but, given the names in his cabinet and the cornmeal at his disposal, he does not convince you that he can make wheat bread—or build serious institutions. On the other hand, his recent visit and speech at the customs office once again showed that the barrier to increasing revenue collection is blocked by elements of the state mafia. And while, under the rug, smuggling trucks destroy the economic balance, Meta tried yesterday to give the impression that the time when the government joked around or acted irresponsibly is over. In other words, by admitting that Nano and Majko tolerated dishonest dealings in the state pyramids, Meta sought to give the impression that his own crew would tear down every cracked pillar of power and rebuild it from scratch. Although little has changed in the structure of the previous governments, Meta does not wish to understand that it is precisely the scale of economic crime and corruption that has not changed—in fact, it has grown considerably in recent periods. By describing certain elements of state structures as irresponsible, the Prime Minister hopes to silence people who see every day that the foundations of the new government are being laid with the tar of refuse left over from the rooftops of previous governments, which were based on deception and smuggling. Meanwhile, to complete the façade of this structure, Albania’s justice bodies attend endless seminars where they learn how crime and corruption should be punished, and then sign orders releasing criminals, thugs, or corrupt officials. The clearest indicators of failure are, first and foremost, the decline in living standards, the rise in crime, and the growing number of unemployed people. The question is: will ordinary citizens gain anything in their daily lives from the speeches and measures of the new government, or will restrictions on electricity, rising unemployment, water shortages, price increases, growing crime, environmental destruction, total expropriation, and so on continue? Or will everything carry on in the spirit of dishonest games, with the double six constantly left in the hands of the citizens, who, in any case, have to pay for their indifference?
