Murati: Kurti once gave himself the right to “set fire” to parliament, today he calls a boycott anti-institutional

Political analyst Valon Murati pointed out that when Self-Determination was a minority in parliament, Kosovo’s caretaker Prime Minister Albin Kurti gave himself the right to oppose every process by force, but did not consider himself anti-institutional at the time, whereas today he labels others’ boycott as anti-national.

“O tempora, o mores! - this Latin phrase that has come down to us from Cicero very much fits the time we live in. So, when Prime Minister Kurti did not have the votes of the people and when Self-Determination was a parliamentary minority, still, considering himself a superior moral category in Kosovo, among Albanians and in the world, he gave himself the right to ‘set fire’ to the country, the parliament, to boycott, and to oppose every process by force. Yet, he did not consider himself anti-institutional, anti-state, or anti-national. On the contrary!” Murati wrote on Facebook.

Kurti’s behavior, he adds, does not speak only about him but also about the time we live in.

“Today, when he has the support and the vote of the people, but does little or nothing for the public good, and above all does not bother to establish sincere bridges of cooperation with anyone, because by keeping society divided and fragmented he counts on continuous victories, and when others, as a result, use only the instrument of boycotting a political process, the prime minister labels them as anti-institutional, anti-state and, of course, anti-national. This does not speak only about the prime minister, but also about the time we live in, when memory of others’ actions is very short and when through media and social networks we create our own world, which is lived only today. We forget what happened yesterday and do not think about tomorrow. As long as we are comfortable, we do not look beyond our own nose,” Murati stated.
