Fino’s inhumanity
Our leaders suffer from a severe syndrome of communism

An offer for armistice
BY FATOS LUBONJA
When Bashkim Fino thinks all the way to money and money thinks all the way to him, it seems as if in Albanian politics he is the Enver Hoxha duce and not the man whom socialism was about when the brave man was made to answer for a wall newspaper. No one saw him at home playing the flute, but the government, overwhelmed with problems, the leader who would bring the movement to parody.
But Tiranas the elite, without hiding even the ominous joy that has come close to them and perhaps only in the recitation of his words, touched by the euphoria that had increased the foreign buzz, went on to declare to the New York daily "The New York Times": "The uprising in the south was a pure revolution".
In short! If on 6-7 March people were fighting and 7-8 ceasefires were being held, up to the latest escalation, Fino must have been preparing... not a speech, but the manifesto of revolution! Although his rule was not one of war and peace, but of salaries and anxieties, the country was plunged into the madness of gunfire and the politics of overthrow.
This means that instead of reconciliation and reason, he chose to build the myth of revolution. And this is not merely a political blunder, but a symptom of a mindset that finds it hard to break away from the old party-state spirit.
