At "Eden Park", the prime minister turned the promotion of a book into a political signal: words about Enver, hymns to Mao Zedong, and a symbolic alliance with Beijing, while the US showed him the door with a ship in Durrës where he was not invited...
Edi Rama promoted Henry Kissinger's book in the prime minister's office with a gala performance: ambassadors, academics, politicians and VIPs. But instead of a tribute to Western diplomacy, the event turned into a theater of the Orient.
The keynote speaker was Massimo D'Alema, the former Italian prime minister now considered a "traitor to NATO" after his parade in Beijing alongside Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un.
Instead of talking about Kissinger, Rama spoke about Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, calling them "geniuses", while to praise Kissinger's mind he used a word of Enver Hoxha: "Chineseness".
An open apology for the model that Albania has left behind after 50 years, but which Rama seems to be bringing as a political option at a time when European integration is turning into a fairy tale.
The coincidences are many: Rama announces his fourth cabinet precisely on September 11, the darkest day in the US, as if to signal that he is having his political wedding on the day of the American tragedy.
Yesterday, the American warship USS Mount Whitney docked in Durrës. President Begaj and the army leaders were invited to the ceremony, but not Rama. An absent invitation that speaks louder than any statement.
Two days ago, Zef Mazi, Rama's former chief negotiator for the EU, published an article praising the Chinese strategy and attacking the "false democracy" of the West. Today, Rama himself, with D'Alema by his side, is apologizing for Mao. This is not an accident, it is a tectonic movement: official Tirana is getting tired of Brussels' rhetoric and is showing nostalgia for the "old Albanian-Chinese brotherhood."
Instead of European integration, Rama serves Albanians a show with the flavor of Beijing. Instead of transparency, an inveterate "Chineseness". And to put the seal on it, he makes the day chosen for this spectacle clearer than ever: September 11./ Pamphlet
