The ideological “barracks” of Tirana

By Sami NELA Yet the envelope with [?] in recent days, the new government and the campaign from the headquarters, bring to mind at the same rhythm that characterized the Communist Party and the PPSH at the top of Tirana’s walls and boulevards. From the 8 November area to the new neighborhoods, where the walls are filled with wall newspapers, slogans and propagandistic outpourings, an atmosphere begins that recalls the days of the ideological barracks of the past. The capital seems to have returned to a time when public space was dominated by political calls, by names of organizations and by one-sided displays of power. Not only the main boulevards, but also side streets, the stairs of apartment blocks, the walls of schools or enterprises have been turned into poster surfaces. This picture resembles a reactivation of the ideological mechanisms that Albanians thought had been left behind. Instead of normal institutional communication, a constant visual pressure is imposed on the citizen. In this way the city loses its neutrality and becomes a one-sided tribune. Whether this is only a consequence of the chaos of recent days or part of a broader scenario remains to be seen. But today’s appearance of Tirana is very much like an ideological barracks, where the symbol takes the place of reason. By Sami NELA

Women and children were also killed, as if barbarism had returned to Europe’s doorstep. From a photo on the page, the victims can be seen as if fleeing, on the road, among the column, under the fire of the attack. After this tragic event, international reactions increased, while Albanian pain became even greater. The Albanian government and political actors were confronted with accusations and moral responsibilities. The government protects the killers of Azem Hajdari
