Without any great surprise, the Supreme Court has dismissed the request for the suspension of the sentence of the former MP Ervin Salianji, further deepening the installation of the two standards of the new Atlantist justice. What is interesting in this act is not the expected decision of the judges, but the arguments of the defense that they rejected. In the 12 pages that the lawyers had submitted to the "most qualified of the country" black teams, an important part was the discriminatory comparison between the termination of the mandate of an elected official who belonged to the opposition and the remaining in parliament of a similar one his belonging to the government. Parallels were drawn with the case of former foreign minister Olta Xhaçka. Without being able to judge how much effect these arguments can have from a legal point of view, I think that their examination gives the general public a screaming overview of the double criteria that have been installed in this country.

The Supreme Court "overthrows" Salianj

Let's take turns. Although the Constitutional Court once did pirouettes to help the majority, while the second time it forced the parliament to vote for it to save the case of the "strategic investor", the latter is still undisturbed in the parliament. Her mandate continues without any harm and it will probably be like this until the beginning of the next campaign. On the other hand, Ervin Salianji was burned without one or two mandates given to him by the voters in 2021, without even waiting for the clarification of the decision, but being satisfied with the device.

Secondly, the SP MP keeps her position, although the mayor who gave the plot in which her name was implicated was imprisoned by SPAK for corruption. On the other hand, her counterpart was stripped of her and ended up in prison only because of the "confession" of a witness prepared and paid by the police of Fier.

Thirdly, whether guilty or not, Xhaçka is accused of having benefited from her position and of acting in a conflict of interest, while her opposition colleague, in good or bad faith, had the public interest as her goal, wanting to prevent a trafficker who to benefit from the riches of his brother, the minister of the interior. So the one who denounces suffers, while the one who abuses is honored.

But, unfortunately, this is not the only case where the occult connection of politics with those who would end the era of impunity produces double standards.

If you look at the process against Sali Berisha, who remains isolated after being accused of producing government decisions and parliamentary votes to favor his son-in-law in the privatization of the Partizani club, you put your hands on your head. By the same standard, Edi Rama should have rotted in prison for a long time, not only because he did the same for the incinerators that remained on paper, but because he went even further, approving the bonus for a company that did not exist, despite the fact that the ministers his had informed him about this. But while Berisha is approaching the electoral campaign as an isolated leader, SPAK has not even dared to ask the current prime minister, even as a person who knows about the theft of the century.

Sali Berisha

The same fable is reinforced by the process of the one who is considered by the opposition as the third political prisoner in the country, Fredi Beleri. Regardless of the fact that he was convicted with manipulated evidence and witnesses, so even assuming that everything in his process was orderly, there is still something that screams. How is it possible that justice was alerted to 8 votes of the former candidate of Himara, which according to her were not worth more than 3 thousand euros together and has not yet put the water on fire for the systemic theft of the vote, which the whole of Albania heard with her ears thanks to the interceptions published by Bild. Or does a minority voter become a scapegoat more easily than the entire state party, implicated in the electoral manipulation of Dibra and Durrës?

Therefore, Salianji's defense, although it was not successful as expected, did well to emphasize the differentiated treatment, established by the occult government-justice link, where the opposition is discriminated against, while the rulers are favored.

The reform of the Euro-Americans, which was promoted as having the highest goals, has today degraded into a farce worthy of Orwell's novels. Better than anything, she likes the overused expression of the visionary writer's fiction, about a regime where all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. Likewise today, those who give justice in cooperation with the renaissance resemble the doors of the "Animal Farm", which killed the principle of being equal before the law. Precisely because of this, one MP of the opposition loses his mandate, while the other of the government does not; a former prime minister is isolated, while the same sin for the successor is not considered a fault; a candidate who is suspected of having bought a few votes goes to jail, while those who have industrialized the manipulation of elections are called winners. This is the revival of pig power and we are experiencing nothing more than what Orwell foretold here eight decades ago.
