Berisha's 'troubles' according to Muç Nano...or BDS?

ALFRED LELA

My friend from the last century, since we worked at the newspaper "Shekulli", me as a young political reporter and him as an anti-Berisi supporter, Muç Nano, sometimes gets it wrong. More precisely, he hasn't gotten it wrong more than today, since time has proven him right about the 'alliance of stinkers'.

He had tried to fool them by saying that the participants in yesterday's protest had come out to 'trouble Berisha'.

The fact is that Berisha is the only politician in Albania who has passed a 35-year vetting process, carried out with partisan zeal towards him and his family, from his adult children to their children who are still children.

The fact is that those who come out to protest, whether called by Lapaj, Shehaj or others, come out for their own problems, and even for those of other Albanians who don't come out, according to the now iconic expression of actor Mehdi Malkja, "I don't have what I need!". 

The fact is that the only one to whom society still responds in large numbers is Sali Berisha. This puts the anti-Berishaists in trouble, but this does not mean that those who come out stand up for the Doctor's plight.

The reasons why they come out are facts:

Oil is 400 lek more expensive than in Kosovo;

Food prices are more expensive than in Italy and the food is of much lower quality;

Tirana is one of the cities with the most polluted air in the world;

The Prime Minister puts European integration at risk because he puts the protection of Balluk before himself;

AKSH has proven to be a nest of hostage-taking, blackmail, and corruption worth several hundred million euros;

Food safety, as seen in the recent case of poisoning of students at the Order Academy, is at sub-Saharan African levels;

It only takes 2 days of rain to make the 'golden roads' impassable and isolate 1/4 of Albania, as was the case in the Southeast;

MPs, senior police officials, etc., are appointed by drug gangs;

The Rama government is the only one in the world with a gang coordinator, who is 'wanted', but can be easily found with Google Maps (only the Hita Police cannot find him, because they have not received orders from Rama);

Security and order are illustrated every week, as in the last week, painfully, by the cases of Durrës, Saranda, and Lezha;

The Llogara tunnel, the incinerators, the tigers of Vlora, continue to be unhealed financial wounds and national shames, both for the government and the judiciary;

The V-Dem report calls Albania an 'electoral autocracy', meaning a country where free elections are not held; 

The latest report by the European Parliament, drafted after a fact-finding mission's tour of Albania, lists a long series of problems, from manipulated elections, the capture of parliament and justice, etc.

About 1 million people and bodies have left Albania in the past 12 years;

When asked Naples Prosecutor N. Grattieri if Berisha was exaggerating by calling Albania a "drug haven", his response was 'it's even worse'.

These are just a few, as an exhaustive list would take all night to compile.

 

These are problems for some and troubles for others, and for some close to the government, 'they happen everywhere and are made into movies', but they are facts and can neither be hidden nor denied.

Muçi should know that the problems in Albania are created and solved by the government. And, as has been seen several times in recent months, it even solves them for some people in the opposition. 

If Berisha had his own 'problems', he could solve them with the government, much more easily than the 'opposition' who have solved them in the meantime.

The fact that he has entered the government water and gas supply on foot, eight times in a row since the end of December, proves that he has a battle/mission, not a problem.

Saying "Saliu is to blame," whether he is in power or in opposition, doesn't seem to me to be a fact. 

It is, in fact, BDS-Berisha Derangement Syndrome.
