Matoshi-Latifi crash: The Witnessing That Power Is Losing Your Mind

Blerim Latifi is now a adviser to two of the country's most powerful people. He used to give counsel to Hashim Thaci, and now he is advising Kadri Veselin. As is true of other counselors, their work is wrapped in a riddle of mystery because they never know what policies they engage in and what they counsel. Even Latif, who is taxed by the citizens of the country, is unknown to the contribution.

But, just as Latifi is Halil Matosi -- Ramush Haradinaj's adviser living the dream of being prime minister.

Matoshi is at a point of inexorable time. He is in Haradinaj Government, one of the most scandalous in independent Kosovo. But what is Kosovo charismatic adviser doing about the next departure of young people? He composed a poem in which he also considered flight to be Russian propaganda.

The fact is, people may not even leave as they did in 2014 and 2015, but their desire to share with their homeland for a better economic perspective is well known.

Blerim Latifi reacted to Mattosh's post by having “invited to be viewed in mirror” and not to justify internal failures through outside enemy alike as it did with totalitarian systems. Right! But the counselor in question also happens at a point of time that delegates the word. He works for the chairman of the assembly, Kadri Veselin , a man of power and responsibility for Kosovo's economic and social situation.

Matoshi then reacted again, being completely cut off from reality, as much as in defense of his boss wrote something like: “But Blerim, Ramush Haradinaj has governed during this period of time under international and local pressure, restoring the dignity of the state and the nation to military, tariffs, state reform. ”

What dignity brought back to the citizens Haradinaj is difficult to say considering successive scandals in governance, from visiting the US where it was not met by any senior official, from the terrible nepotistic cases of his subordinates.

But instead of Haradinaj and Matosh to face a strong civic response and creative opposition response, it's exactly Blerim Latifi whose nepotism hurts.

Why? The PDK did massiveisation and industrialisation of nepotism and clientlitism while Latifi himself was an adviser to two of its leaders. Although he did something like that, The PDK was cautious in public discourse, lest these forms of corruption be legitimised. Therefore, Latifi expresses his problem with Demaliain, which openly acknowledges that he would hire his fellow Christians in front of others, even though he has never talked about employment and misusing people of his share of power.

What we can learn from this controversy is the vacuum created for a literal discussion of the problem of ill-governance since opposition parties are too numb. Moreover, we can also learn that Mattosh and Latif are losing sight of the obligations their political position sets out.
