Mero Baze: The reason why Ilir Meta was arrested today is...

The reason why Ilir Meta's arrest happened today and not before is, of course, a political reason. If politics were not in the middle, Ilir Meta and Sali Berisha would have been brought to justice two decades ago. Sali Berisha when he was arrested by Ilir Meta in the middle of the street and dragged away, or later in Gërdec on January 21, and Ilir Meta when he appeared in person and in front of the Albanians in 2011. 

If there was justice in Albania, and they had no political protection, the Court would arrest Ilir Meta, and it would become an example of punishment by the rule of law. After that, Sali Berisha would not be forced to kill on the boulevard for him, and then the Supreme Court would not be forced to say that Ilir Meta's tape does not exist, after seeing Sali Berisha having dinner until midnight at his house. 

So the best moment, which could be the best example of a politician's impunity, turned into a symbol of impunity for him. 

The way justice buried the "Ilir Meta" case and then the murders of January 21, which happened because of the anger towards what was happening to Ilir Meta, cemented in Albania the monument of impunity of the Albanian politician, especially that of high levels. 
In order to further consolidate this model, Ilir Meta betrayed Sali Berisha, joined Edi Rama and captured two other high positions of power, becoming Speaker of the Parliament and President of the Republic. 

We all agreed that Ilir Meta should be amnestied politically.  

He was accepted by Edi Rama who made him a political ally, accepted by the society surrendered to corruption, accepted by PD and Berisha who called Rama's alliance with Meta as an alliance of stinkers and in 2017 they made him an ally again, accepted by justice which seemed to remove finally give up the punishment of politics. 

When Sali Berisha tried to split the Rama-Meta coalition in 2015 by opening the CEEZ DIA case in the parliament, Ilir Meta mentioned his son Shkëlzen Berisha, saying that he has resigned from him, and will not resign again. 

Fortunately, things started to change just then. 

The European Union and the USA decided to support the creation of a justice system in Albania to put an end to the impunity of Albanian politics. Under strong pressure from the West and false hopes that they could catch the system on the way, Albanian politicians voted with 140 votes for the new Justice Reform. 

For the sake of truth, two of the most clear-headed people about what awaited them at that moment were Ilir Meta and Sali Berisha, who were terribly against it, but believed that their political power would increase and they would control the system that was they approved. 

After eight years from that vote, Albania today has an authoritarian institution of justice, which is bringing to justice every senior politician who comes before it. Most of them are socialists. They have accepted this reform and are naturally accepting the punishments from it. 

Ilir Meta and Sali Berisha applaud the arrests of socialists every day and then get upset why charges have been brought against Ilir Meta and Sali Berisha. 

The attempt to call their prosecution a political punishment is true only on one point, that they have been politically protected so far. Now there is no one to protect them politically. 

And they are even more concerned that the brutal arrest of Ilir Meta has not produced "civil disobedience" in the streets of Tirana. Sali Berisha, who pretends to be worried about this thing that he got under his skin from Ilir Meta, is trying to test with the arrest of Ilir Meta, the reaction he will have when he is arrested. That's why he's so desperate. 

After January 21, Sali Berisha defended Ilir Meta by going to his house for dinner the day before the Supreme Court's decision on him. Then the two together set up an investigative commission against the General Prosecutor's Office, the President of the journalists for not being investigated for January 21. Then they started to take the cabbages out of each other, because they were divided politically for some time. 

Now politics no longer drinks water. She protected them as much as she could. Both have been in politics since 1990, and Albania has given them everything a politician can give, made them MPs, presidents, prime ministers, and billionaires.  

Now they have the luck to face what they have done to Albania. I know that they are not ashamed of what they have done to Albania as "statesmen", but at least they are not ashamed as "women's men" when their names are pronounced by the prosecutor.
