Even serviles are not sure of Albin Kurti's power

This power has no friends. There are only lines.

When they came for the Socialists, I didn't speak, because I wasn't a socialist. When they came for the union, I didn't talk, because I wasn't a unionist. When they came to the Jews, I didn't speak, because I was not a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to talk about me. ”

These words of German pastor Martin Niemöller come to mind every time I see someone hit by power machine. I don't care who the next victim is. It worries me that in Kosovo it is becoming normal to applaud every time the power decides to make someone a target. The moment injustice begins to be celebrated, it no longer remains the victim's problem. It becomes a social problem.

For six years, since Albin Kurti and Vetevendosje took the state wheel, the way of exercising power is gaining increasingly authoritarian traits. Their operational model is simple, but macabre: chosen a target, propaganda is released, the impact is executed, and immediately the crowd of blind voters and power serviles appeared that applaud with a hysterical ferocity: “well done! They barely have it! ”

But before you break your hands with applause, have you stopped a single second from thinking about what you're celebrating? You're celebrating the collapse of the rule of law. You're celebrating the construction of a scaffold where your freedom may depend tomorrow.

If we allow memory to be beyond daily propaganda, it all began with the harsh and systematic cleansing of public institutions and state enterprises. They were not content with changing high managerial positions, which to some extent happens to changing governments. The most subtle and dangerous blow was given to the administration's spinal cord - legal offices and legal professional officials.

An unbearable psychological and institutional pressure was exerted on law professionals through the ministry and the agency. Why? Because they resisted. Because they refused to put their signatures on documents, contracts, and decisions that they considered to be flagrantly contrary to the law. Those who were not broken and became no part of lawlessness fled, degraded, or forced into administrative violence.

And where are we today, a few years after this Purge? Those people followed the legal course, just as it befits professionals. Courts and Independent Council overseers are giving them the right one by one. This is where those who today cheer on social networks should wake up. These decisions imply millions of damages for years lost without work, moral damage, career decay, and material damage. Do you know where these millions will come from? Out of our pockets. From my taxes, yours and every citizen of this country. You applaud decisions that fall into court, while the bill of resentment and legal inadequacy of power is paid to all.

This thought did not stop at administration officials. She lay everywhere where power had no absolute control. Private magistrates were hit and the licenses were taken arbitraryly only because they were implementing decisions on the form they did not like power. Today they're following the legal path. Licenses will be returned, but with them come millions of damages that the State is obliged to pay for the illegal blocking of their work.

When power realized that it could not fully control the evaporation, it ran over the two main pillars of a free society: the media and private business. Attempting to close Klan Kosovo was the most courageous act of media discipline.

They tried to shut down the biggest television in the country on technical and ridiculous pretexts, just to send a message to all other media: "If you criticize us, we close your business."Fortunately, courts acted quickly and canceled that decision, but the case continues and the state could face financial consequences for damaging the company's reputation.

When they saw that they could not close the media by decree, strategies changed. Through the Independent Media Commission, financial penalties began to be pronounced. The goal was no longer directly closed, but economic knees. Their desire is for the media to go bankrupt or be forced to censor themselves to survive.

The climate of doing business in Kosovo, especially for local producers, has been significantly heavy. Instead of the state being a partner of entrepreneurship, he increasingly appears as a threat to it. Controls and inspections are necessary when they are based on law, but not when accompanied by political propaganda, public lynching and prejudice declared without completing official procedures. In a rule of law, violation is first proven, and then responsibilities, not reverse. This climate of judicial uncertainty and institutional pressure is not decoupling only foreign investors; it is also pushing local businesses to shift capital and investments towards Albania and Northern Macedonia, demanding what is becoming increasingly rare in Kosovo -- legal security and predictability.

In a rule of law, institutions cannot return to the personal ills of a prime minister or minister. Kosovo no longer becomes democratic, cheaper or more prosperous when power strikes anyone who stands in the way or refuses to bow. On the contrary, it becomes a more authoritarian, isolated society and with a judicial uncertainty that scares investors and repels professionals.

This power has no friends. There are no long-term allies and you don't know loyalty. He knows just interests. You only know instruments. There are only people who use them to feed their ego, propaganda and power until their use deadline is over or until they have the courage to say" ". At that moment, it doesn't matter how loyal you were, how much you defended it, or how big you applauded. The moment you don't need it anymore, this power wipes you out of the game without mercy or pity.

So when you shut up today, or even worse, when you clap your hands on social networks every time you hit a journalist, an official, an officer, a host, a media, or a business, don't think you're protecting the state. No. You're just feeding a beast that's going to require more meat tomorrow. You're normalizing intimidation. You're normalizing injustice. You are giving power the most dangerous message that can be obtained a power - that it is okay for anyone who does not think so.

Think twice before you write: Because when this machine runs out of foreign enemies, it won't stop. He will begin to devour his people to keep his thirst for power alive.

Yeah, you too, power servile, I'm talking to you.

Don't feel safe in the boss's lap. Don't mess around with power and immunity. Do not confuse your use of faith. The history of all authoritarian powers testifies to the same thing: The first to be thrown out when the machine begins to consume itself are the ones who until yesterday cheered louder than anyone else.

Today she's applauding for the other. But remember that. Power doesn't forgive, it's just pushing.
