The Rraqet do not overthrow the government, they are Rama's best opposition
The inspiration for writing these lines came from two statuses you read on social media and a speech by the prime minister.

The first status is a gem of my friend Ermal Hasimja, who sarcastically criticized the entire opposition that seeks exclusion, and did not even exclude himself from that list.
The second status was of a member of the National Council of the DP, who criticized the initiative of Hasimja and civil society and, in exclusionary tones, delegitimized any attempt to unite the opposition or unite only around Berisha.

The third thing that annoyed me was Prime Minister Rama's speech in the Assembly, which seemingly mocked the MPs to his right, but in fact the message seemed to be addressed to all Albanians, as a plea to overthrow him from power. By reforming, uniting and removing old burdens. The irony lies in the fact that the Prime Minister showed everyone the way to overthrow him, through the play on words "Ramaduro", which he takes as "Rama endure, because we are not ready and do not want to overthrow you"! But in the Assembly there are a group of loyalists of the closed lists, who want to maintain the status quo of their power.

The fact is that Rama will not be overthrown by bringing together old factions with some new factions who, for some power compromises, give up principles before the battle even begins. This is not a political strategy, but organized capitulation and recycling of failure.

The old flames have been tried, burned, and rejected, and have consumed public trust. They no longer inspire anyone but themselves. The new flames, instead of challenging this consumption, sit on their laps and justify bargains, sacrificing principles in the name of “political realism,” stability, unity. Loosely translated: fear of standing alone. But realism without principles is simply embellished opportunism.

Power is not overthrown by bargaining arithmetic, but by ideas, integrity, and the courage to not become part of the scum that pretends to fight. When the alternative is built by those who have failed and by those who give up from the start, the result is predetermined: new disappointment, greater apathy, and stronger power.

With this kind of opposition, Rama doesn't need to manipulate elections. He just has to wait. His opponents do everything themselves to keep him in power: they recycle figures, kill hope, and sell surrender as prudence.

In other words, Rama is not supported by his own strength, but by the weakness of his opponents. And the weakness begins precisely where principles are sold for seats, a name on closed lists or alliances without a axis.
Principles are not a luxury for good times. They are the moral minimum to seek and gain power. Whoever removes them is not fighting Rama, they are serving him.

Change doesn't come with effort. Change requires people who don't need to be recycled, because they've never been consumed.

Rama doesn't win because he is invincible. He wins because there are races against him who are afraid of change, of purity, of politics without bargaining.

Power is not overthrown by old or new quarrels. Disputes are only an excuse for the next defeat.
