Renowned Albanian barista Dritan Alsela has reacted sharply to a post by the head of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha. Berisha had shared a video of Alsela, accompanying it with a critical comment, while the barista considered the use of the material unfair and without his permission. "This person has 4 million followers and lives in Düsseldorf. This is what they call 'when you become gas to the ground'," was Berisha's post about the barista, which sparked the virtual clash. In his response, Alsela accuses Berisha of being responsible for the emigration of many Albanians in the 1990s, including himself, linking this to the political and economic situation of that time. This person in this video has a name and a surname: Dritan Alsela – which you, Mr. Berisha, are obliged to at least mention. The use of this video without my notification and consent is a clear violation of copyright, a concept that you, shaped by the mentality of "I am above everything," neither know nor accept. I have the ability to delete this video within a few minutes, but it is not worth dealing with someone whose time has already placed them where they are today. I am Dritan Alsela. When you came to power, I had not yet turned 18, and what you did to Albania – economically, socially, and above all to an entire generation of young people like me – is among the greatest damages inflicted on this country. I experienced it myself, not from afar, but from within: it was your politics, it was your leadership, it was your style. You took hold of a movement that was not yours, a movement that carried the hope of a European Albania, and you destroyed it. You forced people like me to no longer see a future in their own country and to leave. What came next, and what continues today, is a direct consequence of that time. For me, there has never been a fundamental difference between the parties in Albania; different names, but the same roots: one side represented the old communist regime, the other the hidden structures that kept it alive. These dark structures have never disappeared, they continue to live even today. True democracy has never existed. And what is happening today is no coincidence. What Edi Rama is doing today is simply a continuation of what you started. He is taking to its conclusion a system that keeps Albania captive, a country that does not serve itself, but the old power structures. This is the reality, and this is also the result of what you built.
