Yesterday we had a real protest

By Ylli Manjani

By definition, yesterday's rally was a PROTEST fix. Unlike many previous gatherings where we had a manifestation or demonstration with numbers of participants or quality of speeches, yesterday we had a real protest.

Protest in the definition also means violent behavior, because the mob is what motivates it.

In fact, the act of punishing an opposition MP without law, the isolation without law, evidence and facts of the leader of the opposition, the placement of the opposition MPs in the corner of the force whose parliamentary spaces have been extremely limited and even the ban of the DP for contested in the elections with the stamp game, not one but several protests like the one yesterday are sufficiently motivated.

In protest, people make noise, that's why it's called a protest.

Molotov cocktails are also thrown in the protest, but Kalashnikovs are not used. This is the legal line that separates protest from insurrection.

So nothing abnormal happened yesterday. A protest was called and people protested, despite the legal consequences that are expected. Protesters count these too. Let the Albanians who live in the west tell us how the protests take place even when the temperature of public swimming pools drops by 1 degree.

Now, the debate was done well or badly, whether it serves or not PD, is another topic. It is a topic that PD itself considers first and last, not public analysis.

I even think that those analysts who pretend to bemoan the plight of the DP are at least disingenuous. They didn't care at all about the fate of PD or pluralism. They rejoice under the guise of "Concern for DP" that the country is moving into absolute monism.

It is a totally dishonest analysis that pretends to bemoan the plight of the DP, because in fact it embarrasses the government. In fact, it is the same analysis that shouts "why is the PD not protesting".... I almost killed you, I didn't kill you, that is...

The normal thing is to stay logical: is there or not a reason to protest?

If so, the protest is legitimate and that's it. If not, everyone is sovereign to reflect the reality according to their own mind, if not to hide this reflection under the "problem" whether the DP wins or not.

The rest are speculations and calculations that belong to no one but the parties that make them.

The "blackness" of Saliu or the leaders is not a reason to mess with the logic that when they put your shoulders against the wall you have to react.

Otherwise I die.

As far as I am concerned, I welcome that protest that was made according to the definition of the term.
