Analyst Lorenc Vangjeli appeared differently on the show this Wednesday. In “Opinion”, he went with a birch and some stones. According to him, this was his way of making fun of what he calls ‘popular justice’.
Vangjeli referred to the case of the former Minister of Health Ilir Beqaj, who is being investigated by SPAK for abuse of office regarding the sterilization concession.
According to analyst Vangjeli, birch and stones symbolize justice as in Yemen, Sudan, Iraq, etc. where popular judgments are made and the verdict of justice is not expected at the end.
Excerpt from the discussion
Lorenc Vangjeli: It is birch and these are stones. It is the stick with which I want to beat Ilir Beqaj, who has been declared…
Question: Will you beat Ilir Beqaj? Why?
Lorenc Vangjeli: The same as in Sudan, as in Iraq, as in Yemen, because I read portals.
Question: But why this compassion because it is not only Ilir Beqaj… every person who accuses SPAK, both the portals and the televisions.
Lorenc Vangjeli: There are many birch trees. As far as what I have read and seen in the studio, with Beqaj it is the ‘top job’, says the slang. People’s justice is done with him.
Question: But why was there popular justice in Beqaj and the other persons that SPAK has accused did not finish their work?
Lorenc Vangjeli: This also applies to Saliu. More than half of Albanians think that he is a robber. I’m talking about the mindset. We Albanians are impatient. Before justice speaks, we speak. The problem is behaving like a reformer. We will kill him with stones. This is our hatred. I want to pour out my soul like the great choir of people. As we have musicians, dancers, we also have popular judges who have given the verdict, I want to be like them, to say that I hate it. And when I say this about Iliri, of course I also say it about Mr. Sali. Because what I know, it is the West that considers you innocent…
