The fall of the DP is like the fall of August Andre

The fall of the DP is like the fall of August Andre

August Andre, a Swedish engineer, had long been obsessed with being the first person to reach the North Pole. He was a salesman and sales expert in the office he worked for and had no great knowledge or skill about traveling to places like the North Pole or the possibilities that existed at that time for an expedition to succeed. It was just his obsession with being the first to do it. He had convinced the public that he would make the trip easily and that everyone would be convinced when he returned triumphant.
In 1897, Andre, along with two others, set off in a hydrogen balloon, the 'Eagle', for the North Pole. After two days, their balloon, shaken and shaken by the winds, fell on the ice. Andre and the other two crew members took what they could, food and other necessary things. They walked and tried to reach land over the giant mass of ice. After six weeks of terror, everything was over. They were fed mussels and squid, but also a polar bear that they managed to kill with a gun. After almost three months of terror, they died.

This is an event that has been used by psychologists and sociologists to show that there are times when people are so convinced that they can do something that they completely lose their reason and go confidently towards destruction. This happens especially when they have a very high self-esteem, but it can also happen when they want to save face at all costs. It happens that a person enters a path or finds himself in a situation that forces him towards completely unreasonable actions. The person himself knows the bad and shameful end of the path he enters, but he has no way of acting differently.

The diaries, later discovered, of August Andre showed that he understood that he was not capable and did not have the right tools to make that trip to the North Pole, but he had convinced the public that he had the ability to make this trip very easily.
The famous director Ruben Ostlund has taken this event and has treated it in other ways to show this self-destructive side of man when he enters a path pushed by circumstances such as maintaining the profile of the “strong” and the “triumphant”, of the one who is “right”, of the one who has no obstacle that stops him. Also, in many cases, the strong connection that circumstances such as the above have with a state of guilt or crime, pushing you to commit other crimes and then continuing on this path until you “set off for the North Pole”.

This is exactly what happened to former Prime Minister Berisha, with his Foltores political movement since September 2021.

Ish kryeministri ishte nisur si August Andre për në Polin e Veriut. Ai bindi bazën e PD-së se do t’ia dilte thuajse kollaj. Ai i tha asaj atëbotë se se do të zhvillonte protestat më të fuqishme, se do të trondiste pushtetin e qeverisë Rama, se do ta rrëzonte atë, se do të ndërtonte një opozitë të fuqishme, se do të mundte qeverinë socialiste.

Ishte qe qartë që në fillim se lëvizja e Berishës ishte e parsyeshme, ishte kundër kohës dhe kundër hirtorisë. Ishte e qartë se kjo lëvizje do të kishte një jetë të sajën derisa të përplasej me kokë pas murit, siç do të kishte një jetë të sajën rruga e August Andre-së derisa balona e tij të përplasej me akullin në Polin e Veriut. Në faqe të dheut gjërat e paarsyeshme nuk kanë dhënë dhe nuk japin kurrë rezultat të mirë. Kurrë në faqe të dheut gjërat e kundër kohës dhe kundër historisë nuk kanë dhënë e nuk mund të japin rezultat të mirë. Lëvizja e Berishës ishte e parsyeshme sepse ai kishte tetë vite që ishte larguar nga drejtimi i PD-së duke thënë që “mon depart est sans retour”, ikja ime është pa kthim. Ai kishte thënë që Basha ishte aq i mirë sa Ramës do i duheshin tre jetë të krahasohej me të. Dhe në një moment të caktuar tha do të rikthehem sepse Basha është peng, ka shitur opozitën. Këtu sigurisht që arsyeja nuk ka forcë të japë shpjegime. Lëvizja ishte kundër kohës dhe kundër historisë sepse dikush që është dorëhequr tetë vite më parë pasi ka humbur zgjedhjet si kryeministër me rezultat shumë të thellë (humbi edhe Shkodrën dhe fitoi vetëm në Kukës) nuk mund të rikthehet dhe të thotë se vetëm unë e mund kryeministrin Rama.

Gjithashtu dikush që ka qenë kryetar opozite dhe është bërë president, dikush që ka rënë në opozitë në 1997 dhe më pas bërë kryeministër në 2005, ka rënë përsëri në opozitë (madje i larguar me dorëheqje në 2013) nuk mund të bëhet kryeministër përsëri në 2025. Nuk i njeh historia dhe këto gjëra, koha ka ritmin dhe logjikën e saj. Koha nuk është ciklike, nuk është diçka që nuk ka fund, nuk është diçka në të cilën ne rrotulllohemi pa fund si në një karusel dhe mund të rikthehemi pa ndalur aty ku ishim. Jo koha është lineare, ka fillim dhe fund për këdo, për karrierën, për politikën, për ambicjet, për jetën.

To cut a long story short, the result of May 11 was known and was the logical conclusion of an irrational path. The similarity with what happened to August Andre is profound. Now things can never be the same again. Berisha can continue, will continue to follow the same irrational logic, against time and against history that began in September 2021. It is within his right to do so, as are his supporters. It is certain that in the next elections, support will be smaller and the clash against the wall will be harsher. Even now it may be too late, the time for deep reflection for the DP may have expired so that it can become an alternative again. However, it does have at least a theoretical possibility. And this possibility has nothing to do with Berisha's resignation. Berisha's resignation now is a waste. Berisha must do something (also against history and illogical) unheard of. He must lead a movement against Foltore, against his philosophy, and create and support a leadership that is not populist but popular, to defend a narrative that is not revolutionary with internal and external enemies but civil and rational, to foster a right-wing spirit where modesty and prudence are the basic traits and not a spirit of arrogance and boasting. This is impossible, but if he does it, it would make Berisha a rare politician. This, primarily, is in his own hands, but he must defeat himself. For now and perhaps for the times to come, we are simply at what happened to August Andre.
