Over Sali Berisha's nightmares by Artan Hoxha

Sali Berisha has publicly sought to leave television screens and written media, journalist Artan Hoxha. He has practically sought to isolate a journalist with whom he is in deep conflict of interest, after filming the crime of his life for which before or after death he will be punished as a criminal.

He has made the request publicly, and he has asked all the editorials, not because he believes he will grant the request, but to justify the loss of the public struggle with it.

Sali Berisha's case against Artan Hoxha is an extreme case, inconsistent in world press history, by a man powerless to execute in the name of power.

Turn the film around and now account for Sali Berisha in power and confronting journalist in the studio. The next day there would be no need for such a call. Freedom, Shkelzen, Argita, and the entire circle of “Family” would call the owner to remove him and wipe him out, as they did when they were in power, with similar cases. The next day the owners of the media were going to fire Artan Hodge, the next day the Freedom Driver would burn the car, two days later, destroy the house, or the business, and why not, they would send him out for hunting.

It is what Sali Berisha has done with all the journalists he has faced. The case seems extreme, as he is now in opposition, helpless, frightened, humiliated by the humiliation of public opinion and, above all, under nightmares of powerlessness to become a lawyer for his crimes and his family, on every screen. That's why it has led to an unusual public appeal, to link a journalist, to shut down the screens and newspaper pages, so to execute him without trial.

What is troubling to cynicism in this country is this man's hatred of critical journalists until his death. Sali Berisha is the only Balkan political leader, along with Slobodan Milosevic, who is on the list of ten world press freedom enemies, sponsored by the New York-based Committee for the Protection of Journalists. This is a record that is never hidden and will accompany not only him but also Albania's image in years.

The case of facing Artan Hoxha shows something deeper. It shows that Sali Berisha has hatred and war with journalists not only as a leader, but as an opposition, he has it in his daily biological and political life, has his identity, has his culture of rejection and efforts to impose his lies on painful truths. He destroys the blood of a journalist not only because he's telling the truth, but that he breaks the spell of lies he fills his mind and his self with, and conformative journalists who adorn TV shows in Albania. I heard it yesterday when he talked about Haklaj, most of the family he's killed with pay killers, and in his subconscious it was obvious, they were criminals to be killed because he told the journalist “you were with Haklajt”, as if you were with Hitler “I heard him try to wash his hands on January 21st and the registered murders of live when he said I didn't kill them, because there hasn't yet been a prosecutor's way out of his cell for that crime he would never part.

But above all, I saw how he trembled when the journalist reminded him that justice, or retaliation, will fall on him to the grave. It's all messed up. Apparently, he has begun to realize that his children, grandchildren, and what he and his son are converting billions into inside sex windows in stores, more than billions, has left behind open graves of hostility, from which 30 coffins have produced only him and his son, to the bow of two years from Gerdec to Boulevard, and about 72 assassinations in Tropoja from the chain of reckoning he opened with his opponents there.

Now you seem to realize that in the end there is no meaning to either money or former power, when you have left as an inheritance a crisis that will follow him into the grave.

That's why he can't stand Artan Hoxha looking at the screen. He doesn't feel afraid of him, he doesn't feel threatened by what he says, but he's in a nightmare by the idea that someone is reminding him that the balance of his life as a politician is measuring out with coffins, not merit. He thinks of Artan Hoxha as someone “that sends words to”. And he just won't see it on screens, or in newspapers, probably not on the street. I hope the DP will add this point to the press freedom resolution meant to do against Erion Veliaj, who has raised its voice to two journalists, reminding them that they have building owners and modifiers of our gross television debates, to rush to call Sali Berisha as guest “to say on their show” this shit.

So at least the DP preserves its identity and consistency, such as the party that has produced one of the ten world enemies of press freedom, and our televisions preserves the shame of being chickens before Sali Berisha and collaborators with him against press freedom.

If we were to be a normal country today and normal journalists, now we should have signed a petition, so that no one would put this man on any screen and newspaper page, because he doesn't use them as politicians, nor as citizens, nor as a former statesman of this country, but as a criminal who's nightmares as murderers requires to make a national problem.
