The one who did not deserve to be part of this violent and abusive procession was Robert Ndrenika.
They have nothing to say to Robert Ndrenika because you have nothing to say to him, even if you spend a whole year trying to find a skeleton in his closet. He is one of the patriarchs of Albanian cinema and theater who has made many generations laugh, cry or think deeply in the last 60 years. Ndrenika is a high mountain that flies can only buzz around. They can't do anything else because flies can't bring down the mountain.
Even more so when the attacks organized in the form of a digital detachment try to hide the essence of this ugly story. If Ndrenika had not gone to Erion Veliaj's hearing, he could have committed any other public sacrilege, and not have taken this collective hysteria of insults on his back. He was cursed and cursed less when he took an open position on the demolition of the Theater. And this has an explanation that is neither new nor unknown. It is the irritation that grips a well-known portion of the social network, the media and politics when it comes to attacking the mayor of the municipality Erion Veliaj.
Lali has many old enemies. Some of them he has drawn on his back with his polemical style and public attacks on those he considers opponents. The majority, the others who also make up the anti-Ndrenika chorus, he has created because of his political career and the weight he has gained on the Albanian left.
It is this contingent of riflemen, more nameless and faceless than with an identity and address, who curse anyone who publicly approves of anything Veliaj does, and this is part of a rapid and successful political career. It is extreme in the case of the mayor, but it is still part of the routine treatment that politicians in this country have faced for years.
The one who did not deserve to be part of this violent and abusive procession was Robert Ndrenika. One of the legendary actors of our stage and screen, Ndrenika has given enough admiration and pleasure to viewers for decades, not to be offended in any way in a personal and private action that is his right and no one else's. He explained the reason why he had kissed Veliaj on the forehead and why he had said those words. They did not even hear him, but they remembered the Theater. Just like in those dark pages of communism where the defendant by the justice of the proletariat was seen as a leper by the neighborhood and the public, who should not be touched or even looked at.
This stupid little crusade against an actor who has proven that he is not affected at all by these anonymous attacks has nothing to do with citizen Robert or actor Ndrenika. It is a collective deformation of a society that has only come out of the past with one foot and that condemns before the judge's hammer has fallen. It is also an extreme hypocrisy that attempts to dismiss one of the greatest careers in Albanian art of the last 50 years, for a kiss on the forehead to a man who, as the law reminds us, is presumed innocent until a court decision.
The attempted mudslide in Ndrenika shows that we are in the era of verbal violence that has its origins in the first wild decade of transition. That jungle subculture of that time later shaped the practice of eliminating, slandering, humiliating, cursing, insulting to the core those who think and act differently. That unbridled behavior that was created by chaos, weapons and political authoritarianism, later created its own ramifications in all social life that are still strongly felt today. We will not easily remove the evil year '97 from our subconscious.
Since then, we have also had insults and hatred on the political scene, political and state assassinations, newspaper violence and finally the madness of social networks. A high-ranking figure like Robert Ndrenika does not deserve to be the object of this digital, political and personal filth that is today sold packaged as citizen protest, politician anger or powdered puritanism by the new justice system. Whatever he had done…
