Imaginary student revolution” — Rama attacks protesting young people: A crowd of 1,500 people was glorified, with masks and black hoods at the forefront

Students and young people have been making demands of Prime Minister Edi Rama for months, while in recent days their demands have intensified, with protests escalating into violence. But instead of listening to them, the head of government has chosen to attack them in various ways.

While also criticizing the media, Rama writes that at the height of the protest there were around 1,500 people, 500 of them wearing masks and hoods.

Rama claims that this part of the protesters had nothing to do with the problems and concerns of the students or Albanian families.

“From the morning news to the evening VIP shows, passing through live broadcasts filled with the pathos of an imaginary student revolution, a diverse crowd of 1,500 people at its peak was glorified. It had not the slightest thing in common with the troubles, problems, needs, pain and hopes of students or Albanian families, while the State Police was criminally targeted,” Rama writes.

Rama defended the actions of the police, claiming that it had fulfilled its duty and had not allowed the violence inflicted on its officers to take it away from its mission.

“Because in reality, the State Police has risen to the occasion, never allowing the violence it suffered to push it off the tracks of its democratic mission,” the prime minister writes.

Rama’s post

Here is THE SHAMEFUL MIRROR of television screens, where the “students” became victims of savage violence and the State Police became the cruel monster that was massacring innocent young women and men by the hour and minute.

Look at the ratio between wounded police officers and injured protesters in other democratic countries, where the flame of ANTIFA terror is burning and destroying cities across Europe:

Everywhere, there are far more injured protesters than wounded police officers, as is entirely normal.

Meanwhile, in Tirana, the balance is reversed.

Because in reality, the State Police has risen to the occasion, never allowing the violence it suffered to push it off the tracks of its democratic mission.

But the reality of Tirana has been replaced on the screens by another reality amid this flame of violence and anti-state psychological terror.

From the morning news to the evening VIP shows, passing through live broadcasts filled with the pathos of an imaginary student revolution, a diverse crowd of 1,500 people at its peak was glorified. It had not the slightest thing in common with the troubles, problems, needs, pain and hopes of students or Albanian families, while the State Police was criminally targeted.

These television figures, most of whom live on corruption, astronomical salaries, weekly rents, Instagram advertising and even podcasts financed with under-the-table money—an army of pensioners’ robbers who declare little and earn a fortune by mixing, day and night, a disgusting soup of hatred, vulgarity and banality, while field journalists and camera operators are treated like slaves struggling to earn a living—are even more responsible for the days of terror inflicted on the people of Albania than those who blindly throw the stones of violence.

* I put the word “students” in quotation marks at the beginning because very soon you will see the faces and facts of many of the masked heroes who terrorized the Albanian people with the specter of 1997 and who have nothing to do with the university or student life.

THE REAL STUDENTS ARE THOSE WHO WANT TO CHALLENGE POLITICS AND THE GOVERNMENT WITHOUT RAISING A HAND AGAINST PUBLIC OR PRIVATE PROPERTY, BUT BY POINTING TO THE WOUNDS THAT REQUIRE HEALING THROUGH DIALOGUE AND JOINT ENGAGEMENT.
