Sali Berisha, at the Atome press conference, appeared as a strict accountant: with figures, with comparisons and with precise calculations for Altin Dumani's salary. With a solemn tone and with a pencil in his hand, he showed that Dumani's net salary, 7 thousand euros, is a full 15 times greater than the minimum wage of 408 euros. A theater known to him: that of the "lawyer of the common people", where every number becomes an argument for political morality.
But while he sits and counts Duman's salary, Berisha has never counted the villas, businesses and millions that his children own. He has never counted his son-in-law or daughter who live in the luxury of abundant euros. Nor does he look at the wealth of his associates, who live far beyond the means of a deputy's salary.
The irony is that his entire parliamentary group, which officially receives no more than 2,000 euros per month, appears with a standard of living that leaves even the highest salaries behind. A visible contrast, but for Berisha, invisible.
In the end, his calculation is simple: the salaries of others must be made public, while the assets of his family and political court remain outside any account. And this, apparently, is a legacy where Lulzim Basha has left indelible traces: a party where accounts are weak in multiplication but accurate in addition - deductions driven by political interest.
