From political to social prestige
The article discusses the phenomenon of some political elites escaping the political prestige that granted them legitimacy to influence, toward the social prestige rooted in tribal traditions, especially during holidays and social occasions after they retire from political responsibility. It clarifies that political prestige is not merely an honor or hereditary privilege, but a state-owned asset and a strategic investment that contributes to guiding decisions and national crises. The article emphasizes that the absence of political figures from the political scene and their withdrawal from public action represents a significant loss, particularly in times of crisis, because political prestige should remain central to national discussions and serve as tools for leading public opinion. Its transformation into just a social luxury weakens its primary role and threatens the sustainability of political influence and control.
