Bushati: The protest aged the face of Rama's government

Journalist and analyst Andi Bushati commented on the 54 days of civic protest.

Invited to the show 'The Unexposed', Bushati said that the government's violence against peaceful protesters shows that the prime minister has understood that if he leaves his chair, he will end up "at Veliaj's", that is, in a cell.

Bushati added that recent events have shown that there can be no peaceful solution.

Bushati : These two months surprised us all, with the fact of the surprise effect they created. I was one of those who was convinced that we were vegetating in autocracy. It showed that there is a large mass of people, contrary to what Rama said, they are not being bullied, they showed that they want rights, freedom, and equality. The second effect was that in a very surprising way, the old man reduced, caricatured the face of this power, which is Edi Rama.

Rama was compared to Berisha until yesterday, today he is compared to the citizens. Look at the vocabulary, the movements, the violence, he seems worse than the leaders of the bureau in the 90s. He can stay in the chair, but he is a leader without discourse. A man who finds agents from Iran, Russia, etc. Meanwhile, BBC, CNN, The Guardian, Le Monde, tell a different story. 

Third, the old man also completely lost his credibility, a kind of intellectual-media caste that stood around Rama. Those who defended him, defended him because we don't want Saliu. So Rama is bad, but in front of Saliu he is more acceptable. Today when all these media scoundrels paid by Belinda to the incinerators, showed that they are against the protest, they paled in the eyes of the public as Rama's soldiers.

This protest showed that we are facing a violent autocracy. When the Basha protests, those of May 5, those of the new ring road, were taking to the streets, they said they were the old opposition, property squatters. But when they are exercising violence against some young people who are throwing eggs, at most the drivers would wash the cars of the deputies.

To show a rubber baton, to drag people away, with spray and gas, just because they have soiled a ministerial car, you realize what an authoritarian and violent state you are facing.

The violence is escalating, it shows that no matter how peaceful the protest is, there will be no peaceful solution to this crisis. A violent state… Rama has the problem with himself. He keeps Edi Rama in prison. He knows that either in the prime minister's chair, or next to Erion Veliaj. He has deprived himself of the opportunity for a peaceful solution.
