"We will open the parliamentary-civic platform in front of the Council of Ministers building as a first step" — Sali Berisha's announcement at today's press conference at first glance seems like a reaction to the decision to expel him from parliament for two months, following his statements to Ambassador Gonzato.
However, the relocation of the parliament under Edi Rama's office, although seemingly similar to Lulzim Basha's famous tent, seems to have nothing in common with the period when the Democrats were relocated for weeks under the Prime Minister's Office. Most likely, the extreme decision that is expected to be implemented in the coming days has a deeper background, perhaps related to the developments coming from SPAK.
It is enough to remember that the first time the DP took to the streets, it was when the Special Prosecution Office took the coercive measure against Sali Berisha. At that time, every political activity of the Democrats took place under the balcony of its leader. This time too, it seems that a bigger problem than being expelled from parliament for a few weeks will cause the opposition to be at the service of its leader's problems.
At a time when the Rama government is involved in chaos and investigations into the acting deputy prime minister, the DP will paradoxically return to its aggressive path and language towards the Special Prosecution Office and the new judiciary. As facts and time have shown, the DP no longer has any goal or program to defeat Rama and govern the country. Its political strategy of radicalization is simply the result of putting a party, its militants and supporters at the service of Sali Berisha's troubles with the judiciary.
And as long as this continues, each new crisis for the Rama government, unfortunately, does not harm the latter nor does it give opponents the opportunity to gain ground.
