Doctor Berisha and the Creature: The Frankenstein that can neither die nor live!
2025-11-13 18:51:11 / EDITORIAL
On Sunday evening, as ballot boxes were being counted in five municipalities across the country, Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein" was showing on Netflix. In his laboratory, the doctor who seeks to resurrect the dead sees how the rejection of normal life cycles turns into a monster. And after each dialogue between the monster and Dr. Frankenstein, a metaphor was created within me in a frightening way, Albania had its own version of this scene: Sali Berisha and the Re-established Democratic Party.
Like the mad doctor in the film, Doctor Berisha has taken pieces from the political corpses of the past, fragments of ideologies, forgotten names, worn-out slogans, and has assembled from them a body that moves but does not live.
A body that does not breathe, but does not die either.
Because what keeps it alive is no longer hope, but the fear of extinction.
Berisha is no longer a politician; he is a man who rejects political death.
He re-establishes, resurrects the dead, invents new forms of the same thing, but without breath, without meaning.
In an attempt to keep himself alive, he has created an organism that exists only to cease to exist: A political "Frankenstein" that wanders soullessly, in the darkness of a closed era, the Re-Established Democratic Party!
In existentialist philosophy, this is called absurdity: When life goes on without a reason to live.
The Re-Established DP is thrown into existence, but it did not choose it; it is condemned to operate in a reality of voters that no longer believe in it. As in Sartre, it exists, but without awareness of its existence.
In this sick relationship, Berisha is the creator who fears political death, and the DP is the creature that fears the light, life without the sick doctor!
In del Toro's version, the creature says to its master:
"You didn't give me life... but you didn't let me die either."
This is the sentence that struck me and prompted me to write this article, because today the DP itself can say this sentence to Berisha. Berisha neither killed the DP, but he did not let it live either!
Sunday's results only seal this metaphor:
In Vlora, the DP received about 11% of the vote, with a turnout of 12.55%... which means 1 in 70 Vlora voters chose the Doctor's monster with figures from the corpses of the past.
In Berat, only 17% less than in 1998;
in Cërrik, a deep loss again.
The body still walks, but without blood, without soul, without hope.
In a party where political freedom has been replaced with the rite of survival, Berisha's Frankenstein remains as a symbol of the Albanian absurd:
A creature wandering between life and death, searching for meaning in his world, where meaning has long been dead.
The only meaning is the fear of extinction, the fear of punishment for the Berisha Family, the fear of facing justice, the terror that the darkness of political oblivion will cover it... and it is a party that exists not to live, (to win) but not to die!
