Berisha burns us, Mejdani roasts us
True, our stomachs are empty, but we want a strong President
Even today, after so much time, the insult to Albanians seems to have the name “President”.
For a long time it seems it will keep the name “President”. Once again, the eyes of the entire political class and of Albanians have turned to the palace in the center of Tirana. Even the legacy of the dictatorship brought what it brought, and in life all Albanians understood that caution was needed. Call it democratic, call it democritical, call it whatever you want, but the strange surrounding place is always the palace, where until yesterday the fire from above, the straw[?] was somewhere higher than the walls. In the feeling of the article, little by little it seemed that no one has the patience to wait for the election of one decree or another, and that the decree has already been made. Everyone knows that power built in this way, but it does not serve for radical changes. In the final article of this year[?] it is clear that the “President” continues to have his own place even long after the March elections. As the entire Albanian road of the President approaches four years, it becomes clear that at some point from Albanian political life will disappear that institution, the many Albanian forms of the President in modern times.
Albanians were tired by 1997. Killed and burned. With many wounds and days of pain. Exhausted, they had neither the strength to choose by voice. In silence they chose a man with rights and with mind, perhaps the most innocent President. The man who came out and went back inside Najada, who came out and went back inside Albania. He reads people without history, almost ready to flee from what would be government with gunfire. This is what the President looks like. Nothing to be surprised about. He is trying. There is no reason to make him ignorant. And there is no reason to kill. We also have thousands[?] to see him as a calm man. Just as his name brought him to us. But there is one reason always to remember that the issue of the President in Albania is painful and long. All our constitutions since the beginning of the modern state have run into this point. “President” or not. The whole Albanian politics and all its life. That is what is happening today as well. A communist, the polished version of Berisha, now in a democratic suit and President in the chair left empty by Berisha. But no, the problem of the constitution is fundamental. Albania in this century has almost always interrupted the path of the modern state at the extremity of the president. In 1925 Zogu president. In 1928 king. In 1946 Hoxha had more than enough to become president. In 1991 Alia did not even have that much and was elected president. Berisha came in 1992 and had an almost orgasmic thirst for power. In 1997 he lost that thirst. Now Arapaj needs again the dizzying force that has died, but somewhere in the latest taking it seems there is continuity. Now the new government and the struggle for the constitution are being carried out over that chair. To remember that in this country very few things have changed. Killed and burned, we still remember what kind of President will save us from ourselves. And of course, he cannot be either the man of violence or the man of false calm. Both are extremes.
