Concern among deceived citizens is growing: “Now we no longer have anything to do with Alimuçaj, but with the government that stole our money from the banks” Berisha at a press conference: “The Albanian opposition is the most persecuted in Europe” Albania is being engulfed by a diktat of power, shortening the days of the opposition

No one has done worse than those in power without knowing it and those from power without knowing it. The case of the Nano government as a case of the uninformed is taking on dimensions that are not only laughable but even more dramatic. Incapable of understanding the situation the country is heading toward and of calming it, they burst out laughing at the news from foreign journalists, and they have voices that are completely outdated in communist terminology. So close and yet so far. Prime Minister Nano is exchanging harsh messages for the moment, and the Nano government, having been freed from state duties, has turned into a parliament. Such a government left since the approval of the government is insignificant. And only for the moment the Nano government, after what it has done, has become more unbearable. From a government promised to bring calm and order, it has turned into a structure that the citizen cannot bear. Angered by the loss of calm, citizens feel deceived and robbed. Many no longer distinguish responsibility between the pyramid schemes and the government. For them the responsibility is the same: the government left it and the government took it. This is being accompanied by an atmosphere of mistrust and anger toward institutions. Instead of clarification, the local power terrorized by the Socialists, the Assembly of local officials terrorized by the Socialists, is exerting pressure on citizens and trying to silence their complaints. In this atmosphere, official rhetoric sounds like mockery. It does not calm, but instead encourages a new revolt. Here the issue is no longer only the loss of savings, but a public disregard for those who have lost everything. The Nano government is pushing the country into another crisis of trust, this time not only toward the fraudulent firms, but toward the state itself.

The day of mediation of the popular protests in “Skënderbej” Square Even ordinary protesters and the deceived people demanded yesterday in “Skënderbej” Square the resignation of Prime Minister Nano. Yesterday’s public demonstration in the center of Tirana was followed closely by passersby, the police, and a large number of citizens. The protesters carried banners and shouted slogans against fraud, against corruption, and against the use of force against citizens. The protest action continued for several hours and was accompanied by calls for justice. Many citizens expressed that they no longer have anything to do with the company leaders, but with the government that, according to them, stole their money from the banks. The protest also included the demand that Nano be brought before justice for political and economic fraud against citizens. Regarding the latest developments, representatives of the opposition declared that yesterday’s day proved the growth of popular dissatisfaction. According to them, the country is entering a new period of social and political tension, where protests will increase if the government does not withdraw from its policies. ALYESH
