Evidence of the mafia state is everywhere
When last summer the Rraja gang brutally assaulted citizens in Fushë Krujë with guns and sticks, the state police hid the incident for more than two weeks. In all likelihood, the brutal crime would never have become public if the perpetrators had not shared the self-filmed video to satisfy their perverted egos. It was only after footage of the gruesome violence went viral on social media that the police were forced to report the incident.
But the Kruja incident is not the only case when the state becomes a party to the crime against its victims. This month alone there are two other incidents where the state police allegedly did the same thing again. The first was a jet ski homicide in the South that was initially reported as a natural death. While the second case is the murder a few days ago in Pogradec, where the police first hid and then lied.
There have been hundreds of such events in Albania in recent years. Concealment of crimes to protect the perpetrator (Rrajat), alienation or concealment of evidence from the prosecution (the event of the campaign in Elbasan) or softening of the charge and circumvention of the law in the courts (the event of Vlora and that of Pogradec).
All these cases have one thing in common. The criminal is always part of the integral gear of power. Family members of MPs, children of judges and even sorrollops of peripheral directors of state agencies. All of them hold before the law the shield of Rilindash Shtet or the Renaissance State, which makes them invulnerable to the rule of law.
Academics and prestigious international institutions that study the forms of organization of societies classify Albania as a transitional hybrid regime or hybrid democracy. But in fact there is another much more suitable term to describe today's Albania. It is the Pakhanate or mafia state.
In politics, a khanate is a state system where the government is linked to organized crime to the degree that government officials, the police and even the military become an essential part of the criminal enterprise making it untouchable by the law. In this case the symbiosis is perfect as the crime has both the stone and the nut. He rapes and hides the incident. Kills and disposes of evidence. It exercises terror and circumvents the law in court.
Unlike dictatorial regimes where violence is carried out vertically from top to bottom and is all concentrated in the hands of institutions, in mafia states it is more widespread. In Kruja, relatives of the deputy are brutally raped. In Vlora, a policeman kills you with a speedboat. In Laprakë, even the evidence kills and fabricates you. In Pogradec, the director's grandson fines you for the daily turnover of the business and then kills you. In short, every cell of power and its extension, even peripheral, functions as a crime syndicate.
And for those who still think that these events are coincidences and the definition of Albania as a mafia state is excessive, the answer is found in the transcripts of the SKY ECC intercepts. Inside there is the best picture of the pakhanate that Rilindja installed in Albania.
Where does Edi Rama's courage come from that continues to humiliate Albanians?!
