On paranoia and alibi: "The party's SPAK is to blame"

Although the Special Prosecution has imprisoned half of the government, while the other half is under investigation, those who claim power and attack the work of SPAK morning and night have still failed to benefit from this situation or gain from the created situation. First, because they are not true and sincere. Second, because, while SPAK mercilessly attacks the government, their paranoia raises 'alternative' schemes, such as a war within the genre with a supreme director, etc. similar.

It is this paranoia thrown into public opinion in the case of the latest attack in Durrës by Berisha, which is rapidly spreading from his media camps and beyond. So, the next paranoia says why SPAK struck after the elections and not before them.
So, those who incriminate and criminalize the work of the Special Prosecution Office, demand an account from it for why it did not bring them to power, but allowed, according to them, the gangs to gather votes for Edi Rama.
In fact, like any paranoia, the latter also has some logical pitfalls, according to which not only is it not true, but the coordination of such a large and extensive operation goes beyond local developments, such as the elections in Albania.

First, this is a multi-year investigation (for example, 3 million euros were seized last year) and coordinated with the Italian Prosecutor's Office, so requests for security measures (prison arrest) must be made in a synchronized manner with both parties so as not to compromise the investigation. After the prosecutor's offices of the two countries agree on the date of submitting the requests to the court, they then submit them to the respective courts, which take their time to study the files and authorize the requested measures. Let's not forget that it is a voluminous file that includes, at least, 52 people. This is easily understandable since the requests of the Special Prosecutor's Office were submitted to the Court before the election date.
Second, this is an investigation that was initiated a year ago and has no connection to the current developments of the political war in Albania. So, it can serve as a political alibi, but when serious people who know the procedures and laws do it, then it looks like a malice to serve the superior and throwing aside professionalism and public interest.
Third, to believe that the Special Prosecution Office has requested the arrest warrants after the elections to favor the government, and can be believed by blind militants, but to involve the Italian prosecution in this matter, because of the coordination between them, this is then excessive and requires a lot of media and mental washing to be credible. The Italian prosecution will not care about the elections in Albania, because it looks at the interest of the investigations.
And to go to the "paranoia" to the end, the question is worth asking: do the group hit by SPAK and the Italian prosecution have connections only to the left or did they also have elements with connections to the alleged Albanian opposition? These tons of drugs passing through Durrës are only in this period or even earlier?

In conclusion, those who hold SPAK accountable for the election loss, creating new alibis every day, such as the recent case of the crackdown on a large criminal group in Durrës, would find it easier to answer their problem if they remembered what Cervantes wrote in "Don Quixote": "Sancho, you'd do well to take a look at yourself!"
