February 8th Protest, Balliu: A Call to Be Together, Citizens Are More Powerful

 Tirana Regional Coordinator, Organizational Leader of the Democratic Party, Klevis Balliu, invited to Syri TV, commented on the political situation in the country and conveyed to the numerous viewers the positions of the opposition and the organization of the February 8 protest.

Klevis Balliu: Tomorrow's protest, I think, is also for our dignity. What we expect is a massive participation and I am convinced of this even after the meetings I have held almost all over Tirana. What impressed me in these meetings and I want to say is that Edi Rama has managed to instill fear in the citizens.

It's scary today when you see citizens who, as soon as you hold a camera up to them, say, please don't take my picture. That this has instilled fear in them. That the patronageist is following you. This is what this has done to citizens. They need to know that citizens are more powerful than one politician, two politicians or the entire government if they are together. And protest does this.

 It calls us to be together. I'm not saying that we are perfect. I'm not saying that every time we have governed, everything has been a breeze.

But, as long as we have governed and when we govern, the dignity and respect for the citizen, for the person, for the personality is not diminished. By committing these acts, you diminish the personality of the person. To terrify an entire people because they may be afraid that they will appear in a photograph, when they receive a program leaflet or a reason for protest, this is to violate the integrity, personality and dignity of the person.

In this sense, this protest is both for dignity but also to tell this government that your treason is over and what national or international they are, that the thefts you have committed here, that you have justified to these people, while they were stealing this with incinerators. Vinte Kim was taking a picture, while they were stealing.

Tigris 1 and Tigris 2 are still 80 thousand euros per day. Kim came and said they look ugly but they work but they never turned on. Kim left and another one comes, while these citizens pay, continue to pay for it. This must end. This also comes with this protest but also with the continuity after the protest which is the unity in a political and electoral action to make a change.
