Analyst Haxhi Isufi has reacted on social media to the protests held in the country against Prime Minister Edi Rama, rejecting claims that they are harming tourism.
According to him, the protesters were initially labeled with various accusations, while now they are also being blamed for allegedly driving tourists away from Albania. Isufi writes that foreign citizens have also been present at these gatherings and that several MEPs have expressed support, which, according to him, shows there is no reason for fear.

He also recalls the demolition of the “Prestige” resort, setting it against today’s discussions about the impact of the protests on tourism. Isufi stresses that it should not be forgotten that in the middle of the day, “Prestige” was full of vacationers and was blown up without any thought for them at all.
He then also criticizes the organization of a Kaney Wast concert and the way public funds have been managed, saying that 4.2 million euros were squandered.
In closing his reaction, Isufi calls on citizens to take part in the protest until Rama leaves, describing it as an experience that, according to him, brings hope and optimism.
Full reaction:
The protest is scaring TOURISTS
After they mocked the protesters, then called them spies of Iran, Serbia, Greece, Korea, China, India, Afghanistan, etc., today we hear that they are scaring tourists away from coming to Albania.
Strangely enough, MEPs came and spoke at the protest, but every night tourists from different countries also speak about it and salute the protest, and even take part in it.
With this slogan, “Tourists are being scared away,” I remembered the blowing up, in the middle of the day, of the PRESTIGHE resort, packed full of tourists, and those poor people, traumatized, came out onto the sand with their underwear around their legs to see where the bombing was coming from… Some even came out naked from the showers.
And today they are being forced to fill the stadium where GORILLA will sing with school students and state employees. The prime minister said he paid him 4.2 million euros so Albania would not be blackened, but it seems to me you sealed it in utter disgrace with a black ass.
I am not racist, but realistic. This is what happens when someone whose only song in his life has been “My Librazhd, how much I love you” is put in charge of music around the world.
See you on the boulevard. I go out almost every night; it feels as though I am watching a beautiful dream…
