The students of Vlorë and Elbasan are “ordered” to go home. The same thing had already been done by Kastrio Islami in 1991, when he was Minister of Education

Although Gam Aleksi's spokesperson yesterday said the opposite, 120 students of the general university [?] still continue the 2nd day of the hunger strike in the law school premises. On the other hand, the chairman of the socialist youth forum told journalists yesterday that starting tomorrow there will be heating in the university as well as in the student cafeterias. Ironically, despite this statement, the country's prime minister, with dark humor, proudly declared that in Albania a large amount of oil is “hidden,” which has remained unexploited for decades. In this way, students must not only freeze in lecture halls and dormitories, but must also feel guilty for asking for minimum conditions. If these two images are compared, one with students locked in a hunger strike and the other with the mocking promises of heaters, the end of the communist regime years immediately comes to mind. At that time Ramiz Alia distributed jeans to students to soften the revolt and create the idea of a false liberalization. Today, 9 years after the fall of the wall, instead of jeans, students are being offered heaters, as if their problem were simply the temperature of the rooms and not freedom, dignity, and the lack of prospects. In truth, what is happening is the usual attempt by power to treat youth as a crowd that can be bought with small concessions. Yet today's students are not asking for favors or propaganda decoration. They are asking for conditions, rights, safety, and respect. Anyone who saw their faces yesterday in front of the faculties understands that this movement will not be extinguished by radiators and statements. It is a moral protest against a state that has lost the ability to listen. ENGLISH: “Alia’s jeans” and “Majko’s heaters.” By Enza. The commentary contrasts student hunger strikers with government promises of heating in dormitories and universities. It recalls the late communist era, when Ramiz Alia allegedly tried to calm student unrest with symbolic gifts, and argues that today's students are asking not for favors but for rights, dignity and humane conditions. ITALIANO: “I jeans di Alia” e “i caloriferi di Majko”. Di Enza. Il commento contrappone gli studenti in sciopero della fame alle promesse del governo di portare il riscaldamento nei dormitori e nelle università. Richiama la tarda epoca comunista, quando Ramiz Alia avrebbe cercato di placare il malcontento studentesco con concessioni simboliche, e sostiene che gli studenti di oggi non chiedono favori ma diritti, dignità e condizioni umane.
