"RNB-BNB", as a call to end the transition!

By Edison Lika

The call, RNB-BNB, in the Flamingo revolution, we can say that it was a call that initially saved that revolution and made it practically unassailable and then opened up a political horizon that we had never even dreamed we could see, at least not so soon.

First, we must clarify that this call is neither an attack nor an accusation against the democrats. Of course, this could be both an attack and an accusation against the Berishists. But they too must understand that there is an irreconcilable contradiction here, because being a democrat means not being a Berishist, and being a Berishist means not being a democrat.

 This is because the Democratic Party itself was born as a need to oppose a regime that was mono-party, with an uncontested and self-sufficient leader as a regime, without a need for reform. Whereas being a Berishite is the same as being an Enverist, a Zogist or part of any individual cult that can come to mind. So, you don't need to look for anything else, because you are fulfilled by the prophet you follow.

Now, let's get back to the main topic and understand why the call, RNB-BNB, was the best defense this protest had.

Every civil protest in this country has been attacked as if it were a protest instigated by the Democratic Party, without any real problem, but only with a political purpose. The fight for life, the fight for the air, the fight for the sea, the fight for dignity, the fight for property, especially in the face of the party-state and the media around it, were read as a Berisha-Rama war, putting the citizen in a battle that was not his.

As if it weren't enough that the government used every mechanism to divert citizens' causes towards the Democratic Party, it seemed as if the latter had also always played the role of a "totalitarian opposition", meaning that every action of citizens that bypassed the official opposition was, in fact, the activity of either different segments within the SP, or Soros, or the devil's son, but only individuals and groups that are against the government could not be. So, it could not be perceived that we could be against Rama and not be with Berisha.

In this way, this duo, in one way or another, attacked each other and, at the same time, kept the citizens in a kind of trap from which they could not escape.

Precisely, the slogan, RNB-BNB, derailed both the government propaganda and the official opposition's attack at the beginning of the revolution. Of course, we cannot help but admit that in this revolution, since its beginning, there have been endless opposition democrats as participants in the protest, as well as disobedient MPs, who, regardless of what was said from the headquarters, understood that the center of democracy had shifted to the Prime Minister's Office.

RnB-BnB as a political horizon, as an opportunity to see what was previously unseen and to dream what we feared.

The first mistake that could be made with this slogan was the need to reduce it to a literal explanation of the call. So, in short, we want them both in prison, these are equal, these are the same, and justifications of this kind. In fact, this sentence was a starting point, not an end. For me, it is terribly similar to the expression written in May '68 in Paris: "Be realistic, seek the impossible."

In this sense, once this binomial had fallen, we would be free, at least for a moment, for a protest or for a certain period, to imagine a different Albania. A different Albania depends on the one who is imagining. And this can include everything. From an Albania where everyone is the master of their own destiny, an Albania in which no one should see emigration, escape, as the only solution to the problem. An Albania in which the law is not made by the strong, the criminal or the oligarch. An Albania in which education is not a privilege and housing is not a luxury.

An Albania in which you don't have to struggle to find a cafe, where there is no possibility of an assassination. An Albania in which there is a plurality of parties and opinions, an Albania in which there is competition and democracy, an Albania in which there is Rise and Fall.

An Albania in which, damn it, we do all these things that seem utopian, but in another society are basic rights. So, ultimately, this protest and precisely this call, which invites us to get out of the status quo, from the illusory stability that we have, is a call for a normal Albania.

This is precisely why the RNB-BNB call is important. It is a call to look beyond, and when we say beyond, I do not mean a certain number of alternatives, but I mean the infinity of alternatives.
