Rama after revolution “flaminggo”

As things seem today, even after the huge explosion of what can without fear be called revolution “fliminggo”, Edi Rama politically appears destined to remain prime minister until September 2029.

It may sound unpleasant to his opponents. It may seem unjust to those who have invested in energy, anger, and hope of ruining it. But politics doesn't work according to wishes. It works according to the Force Report.

And today there is no real political threat to Eddie Rama.

Yes, the revolution of algorithms, social networks, viral videos, organized indignation, and digital crowds may have injured him somewhat electoral. It could have caused consumption. Could have damaged the image. But these are the wounds Edi Rama has lived with for years.

In fact, in view of his political history, he has survived with wounds far more serious than these. There have been political crises, mass protests, boycotts, scandals, charges and entire campaigns against him. Therefore, it is hard to believe that a storm of algorithms, however aggressive, can tear down the one where much more concrete confrontation has failed.

The main problem is not the strength of Rama. The problem lies in the weakness of the alternative.

His opponents, a community where, despite my incompatibility to revolutions, I introduce myself, refuse to understand an elementary policy rule: power does not collapse just by demonizing what governs. Power collapses when a more convincing alternative develops.

Okay, let's get Rama out.

But who is in front of him?

That question remains unanswered.

Instead we hear abstract notions that <x0 people will speak”, that “revolution is coming”, that “system is dropping”. They're formulas that sound good on social networks, but they've never produced governments. The people do not rule as an abstract concept. The revolution does not manage budgets, negotiate international agreements, and make executive decisions.

At the end of the day, politics is always reduced to a very earthly question: who is the person who wants to take the wheel?

And right there the opposition, digital revolutionaries and every opponent of Rama clash with the wall of reality.

Because Eddie Rama doesn't get away from the noise. It does not depart from abusive speech. It's not leaving social networking trends. It doesn't leave algorithms, even if they're deceptive.

Edi Rama leaves only when he faces a stronger political leader, more convincing publicly and charismaticly electoral. A figure that can create hope where anger exists today.

It's always been the way that power changes in democracy.

The question, then, is not whether Rama is injured. Apparently it is. The question is not even if it is discontented. It exists and is obvious.

The only question that matters is, Who is he to replace it?

Until a serious answer to this question appears, Edi Rama will continue to reign. Maybe more consumed. Maybe more tired. Maybe more wounded.

But still on the political throne, at least until September 2029...
