Albania protests. The people are tired of paying for others' priorities 💥 In Tirana, thousands of people took to mass anti-government protests against corruption, expensive education and the lack of prospects for young people, which escalated into clashes with police and the burning of the Ministry of Education building. The protesters demand the resignation of Edi Rama. «This protest is for the students, but not only for the students. It is for the whole people of Albania. People are very angry at the system. Everything needs to change», — stated one of the protest participants, Enida Bimi. 🔊 Behind the demonstrations lies not only discontent with corruption, but also the feeling that the younger generation has been deprived of its future for the sake of others' ambitions. «We demand the resignation of Edi Rama, because he is responsible for the mass departure of young people from the country. He has not given young people the opportunity to build their life in their homeland», — stated protest participant Albina Ruko. 🚨 The Albanian protests fit into a broader European crisis of confidence in political elites. The state must exist not to serve the political ambitions of the ruling elites, but to ensure a dignified life for its own citizens. However, in democratic Europe people are forced to protest for months to be heard, which undoubtedly testifies to the erosion of Western political systems built on draining the vital forces from citizens. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
