Summer is leaving and during this season, we were all curious to know how an artist was seen naked, how a gangster was killed, who will be made minister and who will not… But the end is coming. Are we going to remain curious?

Even when people weren’t curious, they pretended they were. In essence, nobody is curious; in essence, everyone is insecure. Even the elements of curiosity have uncertainties: The first one is not certain that “she” came out naked; not even the media that made it up. The second one is not certain that the “gangster” is dead. The third one has nothing on the government which is being formed during the summer heat.

Even those who got sun tan, have done it at Artificial Lake of Tirana or their apartment’s balcony to say that they spent their holidays in Dhermi.

This is how the “wind blows away” people, even when they pretend to be something that they are not.

Fall is coming with strong personality, security and financial uncertainties. Each of them overthrows the first: If the economy is performing badly, so is security. If a man feels insecure, then what sort of head of the family will he be?

The news that came during the summer showed that “we just rested”. Nobody in the world rested during summer! (Do you consider this a paradox?). This is the entire world in front of us:

In Cologne, Germany, authorities, at least, surrounded Saint Peter Cathedral against terrorist acts. In Venice, whoever calls out “Allahu Akbar” is shot on the spot. In Hungary, the government says that “whoever doesn’t guarantee the safety of the people, has no place in Europe”… Great Britain was busy with Brexit and Big Ben. So, Europe, like London, had things to do. Big Ben was silenced and it will chime again in four years. The Big Clock and the clock’s castle have started to be renewed. Even Brexit, the biggest European process after the World War, has been busy during the summer. Will they soon separate quickly or not from the EU? Will May betray or not? Will Johnson make a comeback? All of these questions have been prompted by the act… What act did our reporters carry out to encourage man to have a dead curiosity? Nothing. In fact, neither the government made any movements, nor the artist that came out naked. They showed what they had to show. Who moved? Everyone remained frozen in front of each-the government, the artist, paparazzi and the common person.

That’s why the wind blows them all away, because everyone is untrue.

Why was there lots of news from America during this season? I don’t want to say how many were in favor of Trump and how many were in favor of Soros-the two worlds which are clashing in our country and the region. Here, even the media and political sides have discreetly been divided between Trump and Soros. But the problem is that there was so much news. America produced real news: bad or good. But it faced a very big crisis with communist and nuclear Korea: the big congress debate was held on Obamacare and Trump’s future. Lots of movements were made within the White House. The economy improved. Here, we had lots of news from America, because there’s no holidays there and here we consider the news belonging there as if they don’t belong to anyone, meaning, simple curiosity. We have cemented in the Constitution of Albania the fact that “during the summer we will only get sun tan and become curious”. The Constitution of Republic says that the government is not needed during the summer. The parliamentary elections for the formation of the new government end on June 25, while the new government is formed after 10 September.

At the moment when in Barcelona, Spain, terrorism killed 14 people and injured over 100 others, nothing happened here. If a terrorist act occurred, the government would come out after 10 September and would pay homage to the victims.

Now, summer is coming to an end… The period after the summer comes with “serious trembles”. The head of Civil Emergencies, a senior government official, has warned that “the country will be destroyed by the quake”. The poor man was considered as an idiot for the words that he said: but perhaps he could be a Svejk who wanted to wake people up from the summer sleep. But I don’t think he’s that intelligent. The true earthquake could come because of the economic situation. There are many unemployed people and many families that live on minimum incomes. During the summer, they are happy with the suntan that they get. What about now?! There are no investments and the world has given the alarm why there are no investments in Albania. There’s no production. The only thing that was produced, drugs, has received strong blows. The sex traffickers are being killed by their partners. The money declared as stolen by politicians, are not going back to the treasury, as it was declared in the case of the Justice Reform. The corn that is being cultivated in the small plots of the farmers is not solving many problems. So, what will happen?

The end of the summer could shock many people and the government. But let us hope…
