Lapaj-Shabani/Bushat attacks: Rama and Berisha should be the happiest

2025-07-17 22:10:00, Politikë CNA

Analyst Andi Bushati commented today regarding the fierce attacks between the two co-leaders of the "Albania Becomes" Initiative coalition, Adriatik Lapaj and Endrit Shabani.

Invited to a television show, Bushati said that from this entire situation, the happiest should be Edi Rama and Sali Berisha, as the two leaders of the two largest parties in the country.

Bushati said that the whole story in this situation is the lack of essence of a political movement and that is why this conclusion was reached.

"Initially, the idea of overcoming the closed lists, which Albania Behet had, was not bad. In principle, a method had to be found that would refute the fable of the apples that Shabani said. The solution they found was the most wrong, we have discussed it here as well. The statement of the problem of closed lists, which is good, but the way they wanted to bypass it was bad. The Together Movement and Arlind Qori had a different idea. They said that even if you do this, you don't do it with uncles and aunts, but with members of your party, people who share the same worldview and political philosophy. The fact that you take your aunt and uncle shows that you ask the electorate for trust, but you don't trust your own people, except for tribal people of your family, this should lose you points.

What does this fable tell us?

First, the happiest people should be Rama and Berisha, because it has been said for a long time that these are the old ones, the young people show them as politicians of the past, but if we conclude that this is the philosophy of the new parties, I say that Rama and Berisha should be happy. The Together Movement should also be happy, which we have exhausted by telling them, why don't you unite, but Qori said I can't unite with people who don't share the same ideals and vision and that very soon you will see how they will fight with each other. This fable goes beyond simply the fable of Endri's uncle and the wrath of the Adriatic. It should make us reflect on what future our politics should have when it develops against these backdrops.

We see it as an uncle who suddenly appears, but despite being the party with the most votes from the new voters, it was the party without the most axis. You know what the Together Movement represents, in terms of positions and program. Likewise, Opportunity, what it represents for the market, taxation, VAT. But Albania Becomes, was an amalgam to capture seats in parliament, not a party with a clear program, with a vision for society. These parties that do not converge around an axis, have it much easier to crumble at the first crisis.

"What happened is not just an uncle who accidentally comes out, but the lack of the essence of a political movement and that is why it had this outcome," Bushati said./CNA
