Politics is like an iceberg and the public sees and hears only 10 percent that is above water. The rest is played out of his eyes and ears.
And in this part, the games, intrigues and traps of political actors are very different. There are those who play straight with moral rules and loyalty to the party they represent and there are others who for narrow, or even corrupt interests sell, sell and turn into the servile of the opponent.
Publicly in Albania no one involved in high levels of politics accepts the latter. But in the corridors of the majority has long been pointed the finger the stereotype of the treacherous politician, sold, the spy and servant of the opponents; he is Arben Ahmetaj.
The Deputy Prime Minister is suspected as the man who has supplied and is supplying the President with information that harms the Government where he himself belongs and the reasons for this are little known.
According to rumors within the Socialists, this service that Ahmetaj is doing to Ilir Meta is so zealous that he has turned it from a government tiger into a 'kitten' of the President, who is probably petting him more than Sasha who has in house.
Cats are capricious, but Meta is using the experience created with Sasha (who knew when to pet and educate and whip her) with Arben Ahmetaj. Even the Deputy Prime Minister is sometimes petted and other times flogged.
As for Ahmetaj, the time when he was petted is over ... and in these moments, the flogging through public ridicule by Ilir Meta is the only reward he is receiving.
After all, Meta knows his collaborators well. He has served, spied and betrayed and has been served, betrayed and spied on frequently in 3 decades in politics. This other experience has helped him to understand how servile and treacherous people are treated after being squeezed like lemons.
This is how he is already treating Arben Ahmetaj, like a squeezed lemon ... like a spy who has completed his mission.
