What if Florjan Binaj was a candidate against Berisha?!

Can you imagine if Florian Binaj were to run as an independent candidate against Sali Berisha? Not on his list, but against him. For example, if he had run under the slogan of Albania Becomes or even the Socialist Party (since he has been close to important figures in the SP). Would the stance towards Binaj be the same or would the entire rhetoric of "independence" turn into "hostility".
If there is one thing that the chairman of the former joint-stock company that has become a kiosk is known for, it is the labeling he gives to his opponents. In this context, Binaj would not be left without a "crown".

One day he would call him "a copy of the dictator", the next "Veliaj's pizza delivery man", and perhaps "the face that did PR for stolen millions", for the role he once had next to Rama and Veliaj. Another day he would bring back memories of the past and declare him "the actor of Narkoshteti", "Rama's hostage".
For the chairman of the former AD, transformed into a small kiosk, whoever is not with him is a hostage and whoever is against him is a traitor and a fierce enemy of democracy.

In a television studio, they would probably accuse him of the civil protests in which he participated, as "sold out", "used", "commanded from above".
In such a reality, Sali Berisha would find every way to nail him. He would turn the actor into an enemy, humor into propaganda, irony into sin. He would do it with the skill that only he knows: By dressing him in the language of "principles", but striking with the sword of anger.

But here's the paradox: Flori Binaj is not against Berisha.
He is part of a scheme that, more than being inspired by independence, seems built for political survival.

Therefore, the question arises: how did he manage to convince Berisha, a man who has not submitted to America, time, or anyone else, to accept a figure like Flor Binaj?
Is this Binaj's independence, or Berisha's weakness?

If it were the other way around, if Flori were in front of him, the Doctor wouldn't need much to "dismantle" him.
A speech, a gesture, a finger-pointing would be enough, and the crowd would have torn him to pieces on social media: "Rama's actor", "Veliaj's friend", "Soros' tool".

If Flor Binaj dared to confront him, neither "independence" nor "causes" would save him. Even now that he has accepted to be an "independent" candidate, only because he said that he would be without the DP leader in the campaign, some "opposition thinkers" were released.
Political time has shown that Berisha does not know opponents, he only knows enemies.

That's probably why this silent agreement worked out well for Flori: better to be on the side of a Berisha who uses you, than a Berisha who politically eliminates you.

Ultimately, Albanian politics does not love the independent, it loves the submissive. Perhaps, in this case, it is not Flor Binaj who has convinced Berisha, but it is Berisha who has convinced Binaj that in this country, independence is not rewarded, but punished.
