Faith is a great human value, it is the offering before the word that turns into actions, and not the Bashibozuke mentality, to say one thing, think another and do something completely different.
Writes: Ndue Ukaj
Some politicians appear on the political scene of a country and remain forever as inspiring models, such as Ibrahim Rugova, while others are condemned to serve in history as bad examples, so that the new generations, through them, know how to distinguish between good and evil. The example of a bad politician is Albin Kurti, whom future political generations, if history is to be written correctly and without ideological constraints, will cast aside somewhere, as the ugliest example of the years of state building of our country. An arrogant, headstrong politician who uses harsh rhetoric to isolate his country, while he does political transformation, not to evolve and learn, but to benefit only the electorate, and consequently power. For almost twenty years, as long as he was in opposition, sometimes on the street and sometimes in Parliament, he has pointed the finger at others, showing how one should not govern and how bad others are, but now, five years, since he has been in power and possesses infinite power, he does not know how to show how one should govern, who he wants, what his vision is, thus becoming the prime minister with the least deeds and endless scandals. So, at the end of this mandate, what should not be swallowed by the rational people of our country is not to applaud his actions as a political chameleon, of the type of wanderer, who sees him in one ultra-liberal cause and another ultra-conservative one. This makes you understand that he is not true, in neither, consequently, he is not true even when he pretends to love Ibrahim Rugova and takes care of his house and he was not true even when he insulted him in the most negative terms possible. Kurti's rise to the top of Ibrahim Rugova's house has only one connection – with electoral interests – because he knows it, and this fact is well known in Kosovo: Rugova, even as a dead man, serves as a political barn for all parties. Therefore, his rise to the top of Ibrahim Rugova's house, now that the momentum of his political degradation has taken a path of no return, must be understood and read only in electoral terms. So, speaking in symbolic language, Rugova is being tried to be used as a great political shelter, for the politician who lives a life of wandering, without a shelter of his own. And in times of storm, the safest shelters are those historically proven. In all this great political discomfort in which Kosovo, the most isolated country in Europe today, finds itself, with enormous tensions and a toxic internal situation, what worries me immensely is the infantile state of a large part of what bears the name of the intellectual community, which criticizes and revolts in cafes and is content with that. A deafness and dumbness of this important part of society, of course, suits the power of power, everywhere in the world, especially in unconsolidated countries, where there is no political tradition and this arrogance behind power, disfigures people.
What characterizes today's government in Kosovo?
The first thing that easily appears is arrogance, and, as the wise have noted, arrogance is tantamount to ignorance or worse. The second is a kind of mental paralysis, where people in power, even on stormy winter days, have the audacity to go out the window and dictate to people their illusions that we are in warm days with summer temperatures. So, today's government in Kosovo does not use any moral compass, there is no question of accepting any guilt or responsibility, and for every failure, there is at least one justification. The worst propaganda in human history is state propaganda, therefore, our society must strongly reject this propaganda, not only for political interests, but above all for cultural ones; we must reject this propaganda aesthetically and practically. I know that it is nothing new to repeat well-known phrases, that fraud in politics is fraud and naturally brings consequences, for which our country is paying very dearly, but, since we are a people with short memories, we must repeat these elementary topics as often as possible, until we learn them well. Finally, let's take a little care and ventilate the country's ethical and social environment from all those toxic elements, let's open the doors and windows and let in the wholesome values of Western democracy, for which we have sacrificed and fought, and for which we need like water, air, and sunshine, because these values open paths for progress. The divisions and impatience in our country have taken on frightening proportions, as the fury of power rages day and night against anyone who does not applaud their policies, even when they are aware that the donkey is flying. This mindset has nothing to do with democracy or human values. Meanwhile, on the external level, this power will be remembered in our recent history as a power that has entered the foundations of our state with pickaxes, attempting to remove the cornerstones that hold up our state structure, which are friendships with the West. And the fact that Kosovo is under sanctions constitutes a state of alarm that should make every person in this country feel bad and guilty. I have said and repeated it often that, in Albanian spaces, but also in the Balkans, whenever Western values have been ignored, everything has become gloomy and human life has withered. Therefore, believing and hoping that this mindset can bring some good results to our country is like believing that after these nights of frost and frost, tomorrow temperatures will reach 30 degrees Celsius in our country. And finally, it doesn't take much information, knowledge, or expertise to understand how these leaders speak to the world, to those who truly love us and who have faithfully proven this love. All you have to do is take a linguistic inventory of these people and you'll see what poverty their language represents. Imagine what infantile arguments they use to speak to the international community and our partners! Therefore, today, no one in the West trusts them.
