Violence as a portrait of governance

Grigels Muçollari 

Police violence, tear gas, pepper spray, and other weapons of war have become the main image of the government and Edi Rama, in a modus vivendi. Violence in Parliament with cardboard boxes and the Guard, violence outside with special forces.

For years now, this has been the government's behavior towards opponents and critics, towards opposition protests and towards citizen protests.

No government has taken repressive measures and demonstrated force with police units like Edi Rama's.

If only this aspect is analyzed, it clearly demonstrates the arbitrariness, arrogance, and injustice of 13 years.

In no case has Albania suffered from citizen rebellion, disobedience or opposition to state authority by the people.

On the contrary, obedience, submission, and non-reaction have been one of the wounds of society that has allowed the ruler to deepen oppression.

Never in these 13 years have Albanians set fire to the country or blocked the streets like in Paris, Brussels or Athens. Even though they had much more reason than the French, Belgians and Greeks.

Therefore, the extreme aggressiveness of the government and the Prime Minister, as today before Parliament, is an excess of every measure, norm, and right.

This violence is not, therefore, to suppress an oppressed people, but to stop the sprout of a national awakening that is bringing Edi Rama the loss of his seat. And this is his great fear, because he knows what awaits him. For his timidity, insecurity and anxiety, so much tear gas and fuel and poison are being thrown. Maintaining power at all costs is becoming a great cost for the country. Only a sick delirious person can think that, by deepening the conflict and hostility with society, he will extend the days of his rule and will throw it away without getting wet.
