Sali Berisha promoted, kept and politically elevated Klevis Balliu. But today, when the MP ended up in the waters of the Lana, the doctor’s political suit symbolically got wet too!
Klevis, this eternal “young man” of politics, who has never been directly voted for by citizens through a personal race but was raised politically under Sali’s wing, discovered that a Democratic Party (PD) membership card does not automatically make you welcome at the protest.
The protesters are welcoming towards ordinary Democrats and decent MPs. But hospitality is not a blank cheque for anyone Berisha decides to put on stage.
The doctor must finally understand: citizens can be against Rama without being Berisha’s soldiers. The protest is not private property, nor a political inheritance passed from one favourite to the next.
Today Klevis Balliu ended up in the Lana, but the message went all the way to the doctor: you can bring someone into politics under your wing, but you cannot force them into the hearts of the protesters!
