The state lacks the political will to defend every inch of Albanian territory The government has abandoned the northeast; a “Union for Democracy” broad-based government can prevent difficulties that could degenerate Even short-sighted propaganda scenarios cannot hide the catastrophic state of socialist governance. In the speech that Prime Minister Pandeli Majko delivered yesterday before parliament, it was made clear that, because of his lack of experience, he has fallen into the trap set by his predecessor. On the other hand, there is an attempt to wrap up the incompetence of governance in a cloak of resentment against the West. The completely incomprehensible attacks by the prime minister on NATO, with formulations that conceal a tragic truth for the Albanian state, are evidence of this majority’s inability to govern in wartime. In his analysis of yesterday’s parliamentary session, Prime Minister Majko said that NATO’s army is not enough to govern Albania. In fact, this accusation hides a shocking truth: the Albanian government has given up governing some areas of the country and has left this burden to NATO. Thus, the government is leaving a part of the Albanian population in a state of vacuum, while KFOR or the structures of the Alliance are being imposed because of the humanitarian and war emergency. There is no doubt that without the role of international structures it would be impossible to cope with the wave of refugees, but this does not exempt the Albanian state from its responsibility to be present with administration, army, police and institutions in every corner of the country. On the contrary, the state’s withdrawal and the handing over of this responsibility to foreigners is an alarming indicator of the failure of governance. The claim by the delegation of the National Alliance in the European Parliament that European governance sends a message to PD chairman Berisha to Europeanize the party’s structures is simply a banal speculation by KOHA JONË. In Mr. Neu’s report published yesterday by this newspaper, it is made clear that the functional and moderate style of debate in the Albanian Parliament elevates the government of the pact for unity for democracy. Equally clear are Mr. Neu’s assessments of the stabilizing role of the opposition in this dramatic situation. In a series of projects that are not controlled by either the north or the south, left at the mercy of mafia gangs, NATO can manage the situation. In the strained political space and in the absence of state authority, only a broad-based government can avoid further degradation. Albania does not need empty rhetoric, but functional institutions and state responsibility.
