Over the past month, protests have erupted not only in Albania but also in other countries, such as France and Italy. But there is a difference between the demonstrations in Paris and those in Tirana.
In the French capital, police officers have on several occasions removed their helmets and joined young protesters. This shows that, first and foremost, police officers are people and parents, and they know what it means to seek a better future.

Meanwhile, the opposite is happening in Albania, where, despite young people’s calls for police to take off their uniforms, officers have not only refused to join them but have also used violence against them.
The police are not the property of any government, and the uniform should not become a wall between them and the people. The police are there to serve citizens, protect their rights and ensure their safety, not to intimidate those calling for change.
