This political establishment has expired/ The political forces of transition

I have been saying for years: "THIS POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT HAS EXPIRED. THE POLITICAL FORCES OF TRANSITION MUST BE DISSOLVED TO CREATE NEW ONES"

I follow with great attention and interest every movement or initiative. So also the creation of the "Political Dialogue Forum".
I will leave my anti-establishment stance for tonight to see this forum in the current context.

Let's start with AUTHORITY.

In their statement, they say they are "a group of citizens independent of parties, but with an opposition stance." This grouping undertakes to facilitate dialogue between opposition parties and "the reconciliation of positions and the establishment of acceptable cooperation between them."

As I understand it, this non-partisan civic group takes on the role of intermediation and cooperation between the forces that are against Rama. For example: Berisha, Arlind Qori, Adriatik Lapaj, Agron Shehaj, etc. are likely to cooperate from now on because the Forum will bring them closer....

Then I come to the question: WITH WHAT AUTHORITY?

To understand the question, let's start with a simple analysis: "What (who) prevents the opposition parties from dialogue or cooperation"? Basically, that everyone starts and ends with "Rama is gone". But, in addition to this, that everyone, except the DP, also identifies Berisha as a problem. Of course, each other too: Lapaj and Shehaj clashed in court, Qori is ignored but they don't approach him either, under the pretext that "he is a Marxist". This is a simplified analysis, but basically this is how things are. Indeed, everyone wants to remove Rama, but they also want to avoid Berisha and each other to get as deep as possible. In a possible union, except for Berisha, that everyone else would lose the meaning of existence and so would his followers along with the voters.
....

To bring all the "devils" together, a high official authority, political or moral, is needed. For example, there used to be ambassadors. What about this "group of citizens independent of parties"? What authority can it have over the parties?
This can happen if the parties themselves, with great desire and commitment to cooperation, produce such an artifice for the public's eyes. Is this forum this kind of product?

You're going to ask me "where does your fantasy take you so far"?

Yes! Four months ago, we witnessed a formula very close to this. Agron Shehaj proposed for the early elections for 6 municipalities, candidates... (beware!!) INDEPENDENT FROM PARTIES! And "coincidentally" one of Shehaj's "independents" is in the photo below, of the founders of the Forum.

If this is the premise, I gave the explanation above why it is a failure.

We are taking the opportunity that, in wondering how to escape from "the degradation of governance and the spread of corruption at all its levels, the growth of the power of organized crime and drug trafficking," etc., this group is quite honestly asking: "Can't we become some intellectuals and save the country?"

And they have brainstormed and concluded that "we need to bring the opposition parties closer together so that they can overthrow Rama."

It's very beautiful like a dream, but are the opposition parties ready to hand over this crown to a group without identity (without discussing the names and values ??of each individual at all). So that the Forum can be the godfather of the opposition, the factor that saves them from bankruptcy and current responsibilities...?

Now I return to my corner. What I have been saying for years: WE HAVE BEEN INVASIONED! IN ALBANIA, THE INVADER HAS ROBBED OUR FREEDOM, HAS ANNIHILATED DEMOCRACY AND HAS DEFORMED THE LIBERAL MARKET ECONOMY INTO A MONOPOLY ECONOMY, WHILE THE POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND LEGAL SYSTEM IS AN OLIGARCH".

In this perspective, the Political Dialogue Forum is not a solution. It is simply grease for the OLIGARHY and oxygen to give more time and opportunity to the establishment to push as long as possible. Also, chamomile for the people, who can sleep soundly because independent intellectual citizens are working for the cooperation of the opposition.

In short: I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but in my opinion this forum, group or whatever you want to call it, is nothing more than a cosmetic attempt by the regime. /CNA
