The government orders the police to enter the PS Congress. A sensational operation by the special forces Former chairman: The violence of the good is worse than Berisha’s

Gëzim LEVONJA With yesterday’s expulsion of Vasil Meloskyon and A. Veshi from the editorial leadership, Berisha oddly compromised these two propagandists of the PD’s protective guard. Normally, in the face of such positive reactions from a group of left-wing deputies led by the so-called “Tirana revolt,” who would have continued the attack and carried on for weeks their uncompromising activity all the way to the head of parliament, concern should have been raised that the opposite was happening. It was impossible for such a political class to remain calm. Veshi’s exclusion from Berisha’s leadership, while threatening with disregard for the instruction not to highlight in the vote everything that happened up to the heavy hand of the opposition, is one of the most illustrative examples of the chaotic political scene. The rust through which both the opposition and the majority had passed in a bloc is still being digested. The same furious attack from one side is repeated. In fact, Berisha’s anti-constitutional mechanism explains the behavior. In the end, as days pass, the opposition will rise again strong on the same principles and with the same figures. Democracy here will continue to remain an unstable decoration. Berisha and his supporters continue to act with the logic of a force that does not know compromise. In every clash with the PS, he removes the government by force, and if the majority is weak, it faces destabilization. In this sense, he serves the PS more by frightening away any other opposition figure than by building a real alternative for power. As long as the opposition’s confidence is dictated by fear and not by a program, as long as at the top there is a man with destabilizing instincts, the opposition will find it difficult to win public trust. Thus, in a way, Berisha remains the greatest service that can be done for the PS.
