BY SOTIRAQ HONDI It is not the only one. It understands that Russian markets are teeming with student or other manifestations from Albania. The conflict is even more serious, although political, being simply a consequence of politics. And the opposition rallies. It is also the spectrum that seems to be a sphere engulfing the country, even in the nineties, shown with greater aggressiveness and speed. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that a kind of distrust in governance is involved, one that for many reasons is inspired by reality. On Saturday and Friday, even for entirely different reasons. It has brought together students and police as well. Indeed, there is a place that has protested even for the future prime minister. Berisha? Really? Those events, worsened by developments from abroad, especially the Kosovo crisis, also carried political consequences. At the peak of it all emerged this situation, which our country has followed with anguish and sorrow. The new government is the result of the circulation and distrust that has weighed upon it ever since it came to power. In these circumstances the messages are clear: students are also including the demand for the resignation of the Minister of Education, from which the government does not seem to back down. The way the country is being governed and order being maintained is open to debate. But for many people this also means questioning the prime minister. That is at least what emerges from the responsibility that has been pursuing Albanian politics. In a country without many functioning institutions, every tremor increases the weight of uncertainty. This is the different path.
