Doubts: Have people from the DP and SP infiltrated the protest to disrupt it, as they did with the student protest?

The protest launched for Zvërnec is considered the largest in Albania since the fall of communism.

And moreover, it has been peaceful and civil, not committing any acts of violence, despite the large number of people taking to the streets every day, unled by anyone.

But the situation has changed significantly in recent days.

A group of protesters decided to attack MPs in front of the Parliament with eggs, and today they also physically clashed with the Police.

This has led many of the activists who have been at the forefront of the protest from the beginning to call online for distancing themselves from acts of violence and for the protest to continue peacefully.

The suspicions are that the acts of violence are being instigated by the DP and SP to disrupt the protest.

The DP is now out of the game as an opposition, and the SP wants to continue governing undisturbed.

The Minister of Interior himself denounced that one of the violent protesters in front of the Parliament was the chairman of the DP in Mamurras.

While some of the public figures who call for violence and clashes are known to be close to the DP.

"From the imaginative banners, from the tasteful and striking slogans of the beginning of the protest, from the massive and peaceful unifying spirit, from the family and civic spirit, from the avalanche of peaceful people but destructive of any plan of the government, now the protest is in danger of entering into a worn-out scenario."

"Through violence and the DP-ization of scenarios, it is losing energy, spirit and citizen-wide consensus. If a favor must be done to the government, this path of violence that the protest is following is the best way," writes activist Redi Shehu.

"I myself have spoken to every boy I saw with stones in his hand. This protest must remain as it was! The protest is not being held to bring back those who were there. Away with them! And away from us from their path," writes activist Eriselda Balliu.

While Doriana Musai says:

"The citizens are peaceful! The revolution is peaceful!"

Totalitarian regimes are violent. Don't forget: The violence of January 21 brought them to power. Violence left the country without political opposition! Don't be provoked by the soldiers of the 35-year-old regime.

Even the newspaper Mentor Kikia raised its doubts about the path this protest has taken in recent days, with the violent attacks.

The fear is that the same thing is happening as with the student protest.

Even then, the young men suddenly stood up and became fearsome.

This led to the engagement of the DP and LSI on one side, who wanted to take over the opposition, and the SP on the other side, who did not want to lose power, to come together and infiltrate their people into the protest, disrupting it.

If it were to happen again this time, it would be a great loss and disappointment, as for the first time citizens woke up and went out in protest, without the calls of politics, at a time when it seemed that every nerve of reaction had been killed here.
