The investigation of the Berisha family's assets by SPAK is one of the biggest political blows for Berisha, even though it is one of the most insignificant violations committed by Berisha in three decades of transition. The anti-elite political discourse easily justifies the macabre murder of January 21 as a defense against the putsch of the degraded socialist elites. But the construction of towers in Tirana and luxury villas in Lalëzi Bay can hardly be justified as a confrontation with the degraded socialist elite. It is no coincidence that the drastic drop in support for Berisha during the removal of his immunity and his arrest for the issue of sports club Partizan.
Of course, the electoral decline of Berishism Mauritania Email List has a number of other reasons, among which the clash with the USA is fundamental. However, the weakness of the democratic protest during Berisha's arrest is surprising for a politician who received hundreds of thousands of votes in the last local elections, without having a stamp or logo. The battle with SPAK does not mobilize the Berishist electorate because it puts into crisis the anti-elite discourse through which Berishism has channeled the conflict between the democratic electorate and the socialist elites, often arrogant, contemptuous and prejudiced towards him.
The clash between Berisha and Rama already appears as a quarrel within the bloc more than a clash between the socialist elite and the abused democratic people. The latter came out and protested when "Edi Rama's police" killed an ordinary citizen like Klodian Rasha in 2020. Such events provoke social reaction because they symbolize the violation of the ordinary citizen, especially the northern and peripheral ones, by the arrogant socialist elite. But it is difficult for this population to defend the assets of the Berisha family, even when they are unfairly attacked by the "degenerate Rama".
