The governing coalition breaks the agreement

Socialists: Ceka, this parasite on our backs The PAD president’s tirade against the government is fueling the PS’s dissatisfaction with its ally; Sheklet Konverta

The wind of the rule of law is blowing

Yesterday, these were far too insignificant in terms of their influence in appearance, as a symbol of a cost of the “ugliness” of parliament and of the pressure to shift a high-tension issue out of great confinement, yet in truth they carry great meaning when viewed in the light of the vigorous parliamentary developments. In fact, when it comes to State relations, the hope that the country may finally break free has become a factor; even a simple activity, for a conflict of dimensions that grows with a delayed and social rhythm in intensity. Under the influence of Ceka’s decision to take part in Fatos Nano’s government, what had remained silent because of a long and trusted agreement was torn open yesterday by the chosen Socialist rhetoric. The Socialist agreement with the right-wing opposition was neither a “pact” nor a “handshake”, but rather how much sense did the coming into government of a dissident with a future make? for yet another dominant role for the left by nature. This, moreover, when common opinion is also sitting “stuck” as an argument for the continued absence of a clear redefinition of the agreement. And therefore, the right wing, with its recent “bad experiences” from the end of the past and exhausted by this year’s propaganda, which has wanted to replace everything with a “false perspective”, has triumphed as it pleases in a broad and ordinary way. It has triumphed for the benefit of Albanians, but it is also a harm in terms of the money, which became a mirror of the turmoil of spectacle. It has come, I hoped and they have gotten rid of it. I do this. Albanians are learning what a government that is called “legal” really is. The effect of this phenomenon is even stronger if we examine the moves the right wing made to take part in the coalition government. What it did in order to accompany him in government, to be closer to winning approval in the statements of some of its figures, who enjoyed the height of compromise, by taking a strong declarative stance and pushing the new political administration into small events that even today are not considered part of a clear status. Yes, on the other hand, the Socialists’ own statements addressed to Ceka clearly confirm that the current structure of the government has entered a crisis. Not because of its numbers, but because of its composition and its relationship with the public. In this sense, the Democrats, far too much of the mandates for an addition of pleasures, today who will should? have ended up in completely unfamiliar positions. Meanwhile, the Socialists, beginning with the head of the parliamentary group, P. D., have adopted a new language. According to this language, Ceka is not only small and short-lived, being above all ignorant of parliamentary rules, but is also a man incapable of understanding what had been built before. His joint-governing pact with Ceka’s group constitutes a kind of political peak of pragmatism and bloc spirit; it is a major reason to sit down at tables of dialogue and to create, in words, a PS and PD opposite.
