As crime spreads in every city and the police lose control, Edi Rama travels to Dubai to sell Albania as a luxury tourist destination, leaving behind a country that is being flooded with murders and insecurity...
In the same week that Albania was rocked by a series of murders and TNT attacks, Prime Minister Edi Rama appeared in luxurious Dubai, promoting tourist projects and economic zones “on the model of the Emirates.” A picture that describes more accurately than any international report the current state of the Albanian state: crime kills in the streets, the government appears on propaganda podiums.
In the last 48 hours, three citizens lost their lives in Durrës, Tirana and Berat, while over 250 arrest warrants remain unexecuted. This is the panorama coming from the ground, in a country that is officially in the "phase of the war against organized crime".
At the head of this formal operation stands a degraded order structure, led by police director Ilir Proda; a name that is frequently mentioned in investigative documents and who faces accusations of links to persons under investigation.
Sources within the police themselves describe Prode as a leader tied to interests outside the uniform, a figure who no longer has authority either in the field or in subordinate structures. In every case when an operational failure or a planned assassination is discovered, a pattern emerges: delayed orders, uncoordinated actions, and a chain of responsibility that punishes no one.

On the other hand, Interior Minister Albana Koçiu, who was promoted as an example of “social justice and order reform,” has chosen to remain silent. Instead of taking responsibility for the security crisis, she has appeared in routine communications with Europol on technical cooperation and in speeches on “strengthening the digital capacities of the police.” But while the minister talks about “smart policing,” citizens see a police force that fails to stop either assassinations, trafficking, or gangs openly fighting for territory. This is the irony of a government that tries to appear modern while collapsing from within.
All this is happening at a time when Prime Minister Edi Rama chooses to leave the country to attend luxury fairs in the United Arab Emirates, presenting images of Albania as the "new Switzerland of tourism."
Instead of an emergency meeting on the crime that is getting out of control, the government releases videos of the luxury marinas of Durres, “free zone” projects and imaginary agreements for Arab investments. All for propaganda and for news that aims to cover up the reality: a country where the state exists only for image, not for its citizens.
In this panorama, the Albanian police has turned into a formal institution that guarantees neither life nor property. No police action has stopped the wave of bloodshed that repeats itself every week. The Minister of Interior defends “digital initiatives,” while the director of the police maintains compromised contacts. The Prime Minister flies to Dubai to protect Albania’s image in a world that no longer sees it as a tourist destination, but as a laboratory of a corrupt government.
This is the real Albania: a country that counts victims, while its leaders are photographed with models of resorts and imaginary projects. A country where the government is busy building a facade, while underneath it the free fall of order and security continues. And in this panorama, Rama, Koçiu and Proda are three names of a system that no longer seeks solutions, but only justifications. Albania today lives in two realities: the crime that kills every day and the government that sells images in Dubai. And between them there is neither justice nor order, but only a power that is fading under the weight of its own propaganda. / Pamphlet
