Why Rama, with 83 mandates, feels intimidated by SPAK

There is a truth that politics tries to hide: great power does not eliminate uncertainty, it deepens it. Edi Rama today has 83 mandates. A majority that on paper seems invincible, but in the face of an institution like SPAK, the parliamentary majority is no shield.
Real fear does not come from the opposition. It comes from justice when it is not controlled, and SPAK has caused this earthquake in the traditional political class. Political time is showing us that when investigations affect high levels of government, every numerical majority becomes a statistic, not a guarantee.
The path to the European Union does not pass through propaganda, but through standards. When Rama was talking about the "sword" of justice and taking out his sword against SPAK, it was clearly stated in the European Parliament today that: corruption remains a major problem and concrete results are a condition for closing the chapters by 2027. Rapporteur Andreas Schieder and MEPs like Andrey Kovatchev and Michael Gahler demanded proof that no one is above the law, specifically pointing to the defense that Rama is making of Balluk, a panorama that speaks with a clear communication register.
Alexis de Tocqueville wrote that "the strength of democracy is measured by the way it sets limits on power." If a government begins to feel insecure in the face of independent justice, this means that the limits are working.
This is precisely the essence: if European integration passes through a strong justice system, then SPAK is not a problem for the country, it is a test for the government. The moment the law acts without exceptions, the government must accept to be equal to the citizen.
83 mandates may be enough to control the votes in Parliament. But they do not control the investigations. They do not control the Brussels reports. They do not control the perception that Albania will be measured by standards, not by a numerical majority.
Therefore, the question is not how strong Rama is in the Assembly. The question is how calm he is in the face of an institution that he does not control. That when power faces the limit of the law, that is where the true test of democracy begins.
Therefore, the question is not how strong Rama is in the Assembly. The question is how calm he is in the face of an institution that he does not control. That when power faces the limit of the law, that is where the true test of democracy begins.
Therefore, it is not about the majority that Rama has in the Assembly, but about the calm that you cannot buy with mandates. Essentially, power that is measured only by numbers does not understand that the law is the true measure of strength.
As Plato said, “those who see power as a game end up becoming its game.”
83 mandates may keep the hall under control,
but in the face of an independent institution, they are only fragile silence. In the end, democracy is not tested by the power that the government has, but by the fear it feels when the law does not ask for anyone.
