It's been 24 hours since the owner of "Prestigj" in Golem mobilized all his opposition supporters to tell the Albanian people that Taulant Balla slept several times in that resort. I'm not sure how many times he slept, as it's not a preferred vacation spot, but I believe he slept a few times. I believe that maybe he didn't pay, as he was a guest of the owner with whom he has an old friendship since the 2000s.
But to get ahead of the curve, I'm also telling you that I was once alone at a lunch at that resort. Two of my friends were there and since I have my parents' house in Golem and I was there for the weekend, they invited me for lunch. I started to leave, but as soon as I entered the guard turned me away, as I should not park in the area where I entered, as it was a VIP area.
Annoyed, I returned home.
Then Irfani took me on the phone and begged me that I should come back again, that the guard didn't know me and he has orders not to leave anyone there when the family members are there. After a few minutes of persistence, I gave in again and headed to the hotel. This time the hospitality was different. The two guards had gone out on the street and were adjusting their uniforms when they saw my car and one of them was accompanying me in front of the car, running. For a moment, I pretended to be Ylli Ndroqi with an African guard. My car entered the empty parking area where only his son's super expensive Maserati car was parked. Irfan and my two friends, including Taulant, were there.
Irfan wanted to apologize again for the incident with me and called the "main manager" to account there. A shy, confused girl came who probably never knew what her business was coming to give me an account, which in fact I wasn't asking.
-Now make a card for this gentleman, he said, so that he has the right to enter any area of the resort and to park where I want. An all-access card, you heard….
The girl was looking at him confused.
- I'm telling you now. You should definitely do it. It became a scandal, the guard did not let him.
The girl still did not understand anything, but went where she received orders. Half an hour later, she returned flushed with a card in her hand. It was a hotel room card, which had a printed letter attached to the back stating that Mr. Miro Baze has the right to enter any area of the hotel and be served. I was relieved that he didn't recognize me at least, that I was looking like an idiot.
- You tortured the girl in vain, I told Irfan. A room card has been damaged. I thought you really had cards for specific areas.
The blushing girl shrugged as if she still wanted to say that she knows who you are and what you want. And he was actually right. The only one who knew what he wanted was Irfan, who wanted to respect me so much that he invented that he had cards.
Of course I never used that card because I was afraid the guard wouldn't recognize me. And I didn't go there again. I couldn't even go yesterday because it was broken.
I would never tell this story, but now don't you dare tell me why you do. See what the hotel owner is saying. It shows where Taulant Balla slept, how many times he slept, what he ate, where he washed and where he urinated.
He is being attacked disgustingly by this guy, why didn't he go out and douse himself with gasoline and burn himself, why IKMT, which has demolished a Palestinian wall with two meters of concrete that interrupted the Golem promenade, and the two swimming pools built on the street where the boardwalk must pass.
I don't want to judge Taulant Balla's personal relationship with Irfan Hysenbelli, as it is their personal matter, but of course I can judge the character of a man who testifies that he had no friendship with Taulant Balla, but is ready to mention them and the sheets when he slept, for political war, since now he has managed to provide about 30 mercenaries from the opposition to mourn for him instead of Taulanti.
This campaign of denigration directed by him would be enough for all these young opposition soldiers of Irfan Hysenbelli to understand who they are entrusting their "prestige". Everyone one day if they don't serve Irfan, they will be mentioned where they slept, what they ate, whether they paid for parking or not. Even if Irfan gives them a card like the one he gave me in this case.
The denigrating campaign against a deputy who was used by a businessman, to advance in complete illegality in his business, would be enough to understand the level of our opposition, which has today used this man's model as a battle horse. , who considers illegality a gift from power that must be protected.
I feel sorry for the deputies of Berisha and Basha when I see how a businessman has lined them up, not for the freedom of the press, as they trumpet, but for the freedom not to be affected by the illegality of the government in customs, taxes, privatization contracts, construction permits etc.
And he takes out his anger on the deputy who had a friend and who misused the friendship to do what he did. Of course, Taulant Balla is not to be praised for allowing himself to be misused by this man, building without permission, not paying taxes and trying to privatize every public thing he needs, but the denigration of Taulant Balla by the same person and the alignment of the opposition behind him, shows why politicians are needed by this man and can a man believe to be a guest invited by him in that resort.
I told him that I was once invited by him there, to show how he forcibly invited me to go there. And to think then that he could have mentioned to you that we raised fish that day, and the fish cost so much, and of course he paid without a tax bill, because you were there.
A friend of his told me in confidence yesterday, that in the room where Taulant Balla slept (I don't know how many times he slept), Irfani took a picture of Salianj entering and started the picture everywhere, to show who he replaced him with. I don't know how true it is, but the idea seems original to Irfan and believable. He thinks he has found the next "patronageist", who guarantees his business politically. And think in a few years what he can tell us about what he found in Salianj's or Grida's room, if they don't burn with gasoline for him, as Taulanti had to burn.
And after that, let's hope that the opposition that wants to come to power, is free, is not a hostage, will fight corruption and will bring us freedom of the press.
Those who think that the wild waves of violence of Sali Berisha and Ilir Meta on the opposing press whenever they were in power, can be compared to the waves, of the pools of Irfan that Edi Rama caused with IKMT, or believe that we are fools and they can lie to us, or they are fools themselves, or true friend of Irfan.
I'm glad that at least Taulanti is no longer his friend. As Irfan said, a person drowns both in the pool and in the ocean. And this opposition had no reason to drown in Irfan's pool. At least for "prestige", try the sea. Saliu has tested the ocean that he cannot cross.
