Nexhmije Gjema’s Satire: PDK and AAK “Congratulate” Kurti on Opening the Ibër Bridge

Opinion writer Nexhmije Gjema has published a satirical piece imagining a visit by representatives of the PDK and AAK to Prime Minister Albin Kurti, with the aim of congratulating him on the opening of the Ibër Bridge after 27 years.

Through irony, Gjema portrays the opposition parties pledging to help constitute the Assembly and establish the institutions, as well as to give priority to the national interest over party interests.

At the end of the imaginary scenario, an invitation to a cocktail reception is mentioned, while citizens are advised to read the news while seated, because such turns in politics could cause them “dizziness.”

GOOD NEWS

After 27 years, the PDK and AAK go to Kurti to congratulate him on the opening of the Ibër Bridge.

Representatives of the PDK and AAK met today at the Assembly of Kosovo, from where they went to congratulate Prime Minister Albin Kurti on opening the Ibër Bridge to vehicle traffic after 27 years.

Moved emotionally by recent events, they chose to express their gratitude to the Prime Minister in person for completing a task that, for reasons that remain unknown, they had been unable to carry out during the period when they themselves were running the state institutions.

According to satirical sources, the delegation did not limit itself to congratulations. The representatives pledged that, starting today, they would support the constitution of the Assembly and the formation of the Government, and, when the time comes, the election of the country’s President as well. According to them, this would enable Kosovo’s institutions to work normally and prevent the country from continuing to be held hostage by political blockades.

They also promised to work toward the regular continuation of proceedings and the implementation of projects that have remained stalled for some time. In this context, they pledged to put the interests of the state and citizens ahead of party interests.

In conclusion, the delegation declared that from now on it would oppose the Government when it believed the Government had made mistakes or had not done enough, but would not oppose Kosovo when the country was making progress. 🇽🇰

According to the report, the Prime Minister appeared somewhat surprised by the absence of LDK representatives from the visit. However, showing understanding for the fact that they had already rolled up their sleeves and become fully involved in preparing the major projects awaiting Kosovo, he did not consider their presence particularly necessary.

Our satirical sources say that the Prime Minister thanked all the participants for the visit. As a sign of gratitude and cooperation, he invited them to celebrate together in the coming days this beginning and new spirit of cooperation over a cocktail reception.

He meanwhile recommended that citizens read the news while seated, as political changes of this magnitude could also cause dizziness, especially given the heat prevailing these days.
