By Bardhyl Londo PS and Fatos Nano are one. This is what the entire long analysis in the latest issue of 'Zëri i Popullit' says. A long and pointless analysis which leaves unanswered all the questions it raises, beginning with the question of how it is possible for Fatos Nano, the only one who managed to keep it in power, to leave a party in whose bosom the Albanian left has lived, been nourished, and inspired for more than 40 years. In truth, the author of that extended analysis, Hektor Xhaxhiu, has from the outset placed himself in a difficult position. Because if you start from the 'merit' of a man in keeping the party in power and not from the damage he causes to that same party and to this country, you will ultimately arrive at the conclusion that Fatos Nano is an irreplaceable phenomenon. And that this party cannot live without him. But the question posed by the author of the analysis is not framed correctly. Fatos Nano did not keep the party in power. On the contrary, the party brought him in and kept him in power, despite the fact that Nano did not repay it in kind. If the question were posed properly, it would be: how is it possible that this party puts someone like Fatos Nano at its head? How is it possible that this party is such a party? But who is this party? Whom does it serve? What ideals does it represent? Which social stratum does it protect? What morals does it have? What interests? These questions may seem like questions in the wind, but they are vital questions. And the analysis of 'Zëri i Popullit' not only does not answer them, it seems not even able to ask them. It uses a blurred language, a weak moralizing tone, and a kind of regret over Nano's departure, without ever touching the real wound. And the real wound is this: the PS was built as a power machine, not as a party of ideals. It has produced and recycled the same people, the same habits, the same alibis. That is why the departure of one man cannot change its essence. In this sense, Nano's loss is a loss for the PS only as the loss of a symbolic figure of its power, not as the loss of a moral or political model. And if the socialists seek to find the 'culprit' for this loss, they must begin not with Nano, but with themselves. From the structure, from the mentality, from the relationship with power and with the citizen. Otherwise, every analysis will be only a new justification for the same failures. ON PAGE 3
