Topi-Berisha, the right in the middle?

The conflict continued with the debate for the competences of the Constitutional Court appointments, the rejected decrees, etc. So far, the debate was very institutional, about the competencies.

But one of the laws that the President rejected, did not decree and let it enter in act with his silence was the Lustration Law. In a meeting with the relatives of the people who were executed by the communist regime for the bomb at the Soviet Embassy, many decades ago, the Prime Minister mentioned exactly this fact.

The President, who had explained the reason why he did not sign the law, reminded that it wasn’t approved by the Commission of Venice and was rejected as anti-constitutional by the Constitutional Court.

But the President answered in the moral aspect, reminding the Prime Minister that he has been a secretary of the communist party and that he has never given a solution for the issues of the politically persecuted and former landowners. This was a strong answer by the President, as never before.

Analysts note another fact: the Prime Minister has hit the President lately in two precise points: the former landowners and the politically persecuted people, without forgetting his family and Flamur Topi, the President’s brother.

Since the President opened the option for creating a new right winged party, after his mandate as President will be over, although he has never mentioned a concrete political party, the Prime Minister has tried to delegitimize him with the categories that could be the next electorate for Bamir Topi: the former landowners and the persecuted people.

Some majority figures have accused the President of trying to profit properties that do not belong to him or his family.

As for the persecuted people, the Prime Minister accuses the President exactly for the Lustration Law. But with the President declaring that he is in favor of a good Lustration Law and the process for opening the communist files, from which would come big surprises, now it is the Prime Minister’s round to argue. Who will the people believe, the Prime Minister, or the President?
