Bread, leeks and cabbage! The theatrical campaign of politicians on open lists

It doesn't matter which party they belong to, the already feverish race to get votes has made Albanian politicians step out of their usual costumes and behave differently than we have seen in the past 4 years. While those on the safe lists seem calmer, the open lists are producing all kinds of theatrical performances that are surprising the world.

Mimi Kodheli buying bread and talking to the saleswoman, Jorida Tabaku buying leeks and cabbage on the outskirts of Tirana, Agron Shehaj selling bread, Blerina Gjylameti posting people's hands scrawling the number 5 or Ermonela Felaj using a Big Brother character - they may be representatives of different political forces, but they have a common goal: to collect as many votes as possible on May 11.

The strategy they have chosen is actually nothing original and for the most part is contrived and meaningless. If for 4 years in a row you have appeared in the Assembly or conferences talking about corruption, poverty or government benefits, wearing sneakers, selling bread or shopping for household clothes is not going to change people's perception. The remaining 50 days may indeed be enough for a door-to-door campaign, but what value is that when at every door you find cameramen and photographers more than citizens? Television spots, online campaigns certainly have their value, but how convincing can you be when suddenly one day you remember that in politics there are also fruits and vegetables, people who sell and troubles that are not only reported from the Assembly hall or international conferences.

Albanians are not naive and certainly not so easily flattered by the visits of politicians once every 4 years. Of course, many of these citizens will vote even without the need for this elaborate show, because after all, these are the alternatives. In a campaign that has just started without substance, without a program, but with promises, without breath, but with accusations, without debate, but with exchanges of rap songs, Albanian citizens do not have many options to choose from. In this political chaos, everyone will try to choose the most convincing one among the theater of the campaign that has just begun in earnest./ Vna.al
