PS IS HEADED TOWARD SELF-DESTRUCTION
-The extremist left-wing grave-digging leadership still within the PS and the alternative it claims to represent-
Others saw it: a sick conscience from within the same ranks, preaching morality. In an absurd act, this man, who himself does not know what he represents, dares to discuss an Albanian government meeting with the US government, calling it a “conspiracy”, while at the same time tying himself to the most absurd speculation, that the Albanian president allegedly launched an unprecedented offensive against parliament. To say such a thing about the entire press of yesterday clearly shows by what principles and ethics this kind of politicians operates. As for the denunciations of “pressure” on the constitutional court, they are just as ridiculous as their other claim. At the same time, the very same voices that speak of “pressure” do not find a single word for the repeated threatening statements of the “22 March” type against the constitutional court itself. In other words, for them it is legitimate to threaten institutions when this serves their politics and unacceptable for any reaction to slander. This kind of mentality, which is becoming the way of thinking of part of the PS leadership, is nothing other than a continuation of the old logic of class struggle, transferred into the conditions of pluralism. Fatos Nano, Luan Hajdaraga and perhaps one or two others are demonstrating day by day more clearly that they have not broken with the totalitarian past. That is why they continue to use the same language of hatred, the same pattern of accusations and the same way of seeing the opponent as an enemy. Instead of behaving as a modern opposition, they act as heirs of a historically failed force. In these conditions, the PS is moving not toward reform, but toward self-destruction. The more it is dominated by its extremists, the fewer chances it has to present a credible alternative. And this is bad not only for the PS itself, but for Albanian political life as a whole.
