European studies starting with a political head

Grigels Muçollari

The progress reports are voluminous and the criteria that the EU has set for Albania on the road to Brussels are clear.

They may change from year to year, but one determination remains immovable: the fight against corruption.

The old continent, its political organism, asks us to eradicate this phenomenon. The pressure that the EU exerts in this direction is definitely a help. Only this weekend, the messages got a little mixed up.

The sermon was a little different from the acts.

32 students who will start their studies this year at the College of Europe that was opened in Tirana, the first words they heard from the podium of the auditorium, were precisely from the man who took 132 million euros from his taxpayers for an incinerator that does not exist. They belonged to the one who took at least 30 million euros from the taxpayers of Tirana, and gave them to his 5 main associates, who took care to give their company a modern name, 5D.

This character who has half of the directors in prison, and is himself benefiting from the compassion of his colleagues at SPAK, opened the European doors to 32 students from different countries.

Of course, these 32 students are the only innocents in this scene.

But they are hardly required to accept the personal sympathies of the rector and the ambassador.

Because what they will learn during the academic year, with the theme; European transformations and integrations speak of the opposite of what happened at the weekend. They say that someone who abuses his duty, the law and the trust of the citizens, has his place before justice, not to be given immunity, to stand above others, and even worse, to be hired by aula to maintain his image.

The class of the College of Europe in Tirana, by the end of their studies, will have learned that the one who opened the doors of the building and gave them the first lecture is someone who has contributed to the major corruption that prevents Albania from integrating. By then, they will have understood something about the political reasons that some internationals are making in Tirana.
