How Ben Blushi predicted the isolationist Berisha in 2025!

It was 2014 when one of the most erudite people in the Socialist Party at the time began to warn of the consequences that Albania would face in the next decade if Edi Rama did not change his way of governing. Ben Blushi published a book of essays, ideas and debates, which he titled "The Moon of Albania".
A book that stirred the waters of society and sparked numerous debates both within the majority and within the opposition, anathematizing the pessimistic spirit and articulating thoughts on optimistic grounds, but which the indicator of truth, time, proved Ben Blushi right.
At that time, no one knew that Sali Berisha would one day be declared "non grata" and no one would believe that he would be the Luddite of progress within the right and would have the main weight in the role of the Albanian isolator.
Ben Blushi writes that: "Albania, having its own illnesses, will probably suffer even more like any tired body that collapses from a foreign flu. The impact on Albania will be economic, but gradually also political.
Dissatisfaction with the political class will grow. Albanians will become even more skeptical of their parties, believing that the lack of reforms, economic decline, debts, unemployment and corruption are the responsibility of those they elected."
This is the perfect terrain where anti-Westerners will be born, both in the political elite and in the financial elite, because in the Albanian reality, the political elite and the financial elite are becoming a single body, so the oligarchs of Sali Berisha became the oligarchs of Edi Rama, so only changing jerseys, but playing on the same football field that bears the name Albania.
Ben Blushi, among other things, says: "When I talk about isolatricians, I mean a person who thinks he lives well in his habitat and the reasons to change it are small, not to say unnecessary. The Albanian isolatrician is rich.
He starts the day the same way, regardless of what happens around him, in Albania or in the world, and ends it by blabbering the same detailed gossip every evening."
The typical case is that of Sali Berisha, with an old language and a mindset from a bygone era, incapable of conveying state formation, the unification of the right or the opposition, healthy policymaking, and well-being. These are only the symptoms of Albanian isolationists who speak like Westerners but behave like Orientals and bringers of chaos.
Today, in 2025, this diagnosis of Ben Blushi has not only been confirmed, but has been deepened and institutionalized. Sali Berisha, although declared "non grata" by Albania's strategic allies and limited in political action, refuses to make way and continues to hold hostage an opposition that is melting under the weight of a leader of the past. The DP is no longer a force with aspirations to win, but a remnant of a worn-out glory, revolving around a single figure. The loss in every district, the drop in the percentage of the vote from 2021 to 2025 – in some cases by 22 to 41% – indicates not only an electoral crisis, but a crisis of hope.
And yet, Berisha, like any isolationist, starts the day as always: with the denial of reality and ends by recycling his mantras about “historical unions” and “imminent victories”, while reality is measured by votes, and votes are punishment. He also goes to the European Parliament, where he presents Albania as a country immersed in dictatorship and crime, forgetting that in front of him are diplomats and MEPs who know the country better than he does, as they know about secret agreements. He goes there not to represent Albania, but to use it as a personal alibi, to extort a kind of international legitimacy that time has denied him.
And what is most frightening in this picture is not Berisha's action, it is predictable, but the silence of everyone around him. No one talks about "non-women", no one problematizes this fact as a burden for the future of the opposition. The deputies, the new figures, the analysts who once spoke about standards, today act as if it does not exist. This is the normalization of isolation, of exclusion, of denial of reality - so it is the complete life of an isolator, turned into a political doctrine.
And if in 2014 Blushi spoke of the risk that Albania would turn into an organism exhausted by the political flu, today it seems to be in a democratic coma. Because the isolator does not die, he simply prolongs his solitude, and as long as he finds applause, he believes that he is alive. The problem is that with him, the only possibility for a new opposition is also being drowned, for an Albania that will see from the future, not from the dark window of the '90s.
