The consequences of the silent enactment of the “Gender Equality”

There are moments in a country's history when laws are no longer an expression of the popular will, but an instrument of a political will that aims to reformat man himself. This is precisely the reality we are subjected to today: the law on "Gender Equality", already decreed by the President's silence and published in the Official Gazette, marks not simply the approval of a norm, but the official entry of Albania into the ideological orbit of the globalist extreme left.

In the article I wrote before the decree, I warned about the danger of presidential inaction. Today, after the factum, we understand that this warning was not rhetoric, but reality: the law is more than a legal document; it is an ideological manifesto that uses the language of equality to undo the very notion of man.

German philosopher Jürgen Habermas has emphasized that the legitimacy of law lies in the combination of reason, consensus, and social reality.

But when the law is disconnected from reality, it is no longer a tool of justice. It becomes an instrument of social engineering.

This is the case of the gender equality law in its current form.

Wokist laws, which relativize biological nature and replace it with subjective fluidity, do not construct justice; they construct an artificial anthropology. Essentially, these laws:

• deny the existence of human essence;

• rely on postmodern philosophy according to which truth is a construct;

• transform politics into a moral mission of the new world;

• impose a new ethic against those who disagree with the new laws…

Roger Scruton, whom I quoted earlier, was right:

"When truth becomes relative, ideology takes the place of reality."

Today, with the publication of the law, ideology has become a positive right.

Evil in the 21st century no longer presents itself with the harsh face of tyranny. It comes with sweet vocabulary, technical terminology, liberal references, and the magic word: EQUALITY.

But a law that introduces anthropological divisions between biological sex and identity, that relativizes natural truth, that creates cultural pressure on the majority to submit, is a bad law dressed up in good language.

"The new totalitarianism does not come as violence, but as moralization," was the warning of French philosopher Pascal Bruckner.

Today, moralizing has been entered into the Official Gazette.

Pontius Pilate's metaphor for the inaction of people in power has become reality.

The president did not reverse the law; he did not explain it; he did not confront it; he did not intervene.

He was silent!

The presidential silence acted as more than a signature: it is passive participation in the legitimization of evil.

Bonhoeffer describes this mechanism with prophetic precision by saying; “Silence in the face of evil is evil itself.”

The President's silence:

• was not neutral,

• it was not technical,

• it was not institutional.

It was political and moral.

In political science theory, this is called omissio criminis, taken to the normative dimension: the harm is not in the action you take, but in what you dare not do.

Hannah Arendt described totalitarianism as a process where man is not only oppressed by violence, but by normalizing evil through bureaucratic procedures.

The adoption of the law, with political arrogance, without real consultation with society, and above all with silent decree, is the perfect scheme of this banality.

Arendt writes:

"Evil becomes dangerous when it becomes commonplace."

With the introduction of the law into the Official Gazette, one thing became commonplace: changing people through law.

This is the boundary where a society begins to slide towards post-democracy.

The parliamentary majority is an instrument of the people, not their substitute.

Majority does not mean moral majority, but numerical majority.

When the policy:

• ignores protests,

• insults citizens (“let the dogs bark…”),

• uses arrogance instead of argument,

• sees the people as an obstacle rather than a source of sovereignty, then we have the phenomenon known in political philosophy as democratic despotism (Tocqueville).

Bad laws bring immediate consequences.

First, it causes: Social fracture. Disruption between the people and the government; between traditional values ??and ideological values.

Second; Change in education. The school is transformed into an experimental field where ideology is introduced as scientific truth.

Thirdly; Cultural pressure.

The majority remains silent because not accepting the ideology is labeled as "hatred" or "backwardness."

Fourth; Changing generational anthropology.

In the name of progress, the structure of human identity collapses: male-female, family, parental role, responsibility.

Fifth; Weakening of democracy.

Democracy is not just a voting procedure, it is a culture. When democratic culture is violated by arrogance, then autocracy with a liberal face begins.

Every law, good or bad, does not remain on paper. It permeates institutions, school programs, media, culture! Then, later, it permeates the consciousness of generations.

Such laws:

• reshape the public vocabulary,

• impose terminology (gender identity, fluidity, self-determined belonging),

• criminalize moral dissent,

• create a new ethic through social pressure.

At this point, the law is no longer a means of regulation, but a means of transforming reality. This is the modern form of cultural tyranny.

What did Albania lose with the presidential silence?

Albania lost a golden moment to defend the moral order. The President had the opportunity to become the voice of the majority, but he became the voice of no one and the key to the counterculture. Albania lost the last instrument of institutional balance. Let us remember that the President is not a notary, but the last brake against the excesses of the majority. Albania lost the belief that politics can protect the family and human nature. When politics surrenders, the culture of fear begins. Albania lost the opportunity for a positive moral precedent.

Today, a dangerous precedent has been set: laws can be passed without any institutional opposition.

What lies ahead? A cultural battle, not just a political one.

Now that the law has been published, the battle is not over.

It has just begun, but not in parliament. It has begun in:

• school,

• universities,

• family,

• media,

• public discussions,

• culture,

• the conscience of the younger generations.

A free society is one that refuses to submit to ideology, even when it comes as law. Laws change. But when human nature changes, going back is harder. The silent passage of the law and its publication is not the end of the story, but the first chapter of a new era where:

• relative truth replaces reality;

• ideology replaces nature;

• fear replaces duty;

• bureaucracy replaces morality.

The story of Pilate does not blindly repeat itself, but its principle does! Evil does not triumph because evil people act, but because the people who should have acted – remained silent.

The president will be judged not for the law he signed, but for the law he did not have the courage to reverse.

Bonhoeffer would close this article in the most accurate way possible:

“Inaction is action.”

And in our case, inaction became law. / CNA
