Protest, rhetoric, but why not dialogue?

The people are speaking! But is a few days of protest enough to topple a government?

The transitional government is the condition set by the protesters. The cries of "Rama Go! Berisha Go" or "Rama in prison, Berisha in prison" have brought together many young men and women, mothers and children, men and even the elderly, to take to the streets and for many days in a row, for the first time, to deal a strong "blow" to the political class. "We were born seeing Berisha and we stood up with Edi Rama in power", said the MP of the Joint Movement, Redi Muçi during a retort with the Democratic MP, Gent Strazimiri in the Parliament a few days ago.

But on the other hand, the Opportunity Party has rushed to embrace the protesters, along with the Together Movement, and Albania Becomes, and they are united in demanding the departure of Prime Minister Edi Rama, who, under his leadership, was able to secure a full 83 mandates in the May 11, 2025 elections. A qualifying majority that has not yet turned a year old has received its biggest shock since 2013 when it came to power. A local protest over land in Zvërnec, where investment is planned for the establishment of a tourist resort, has now become a global topic, having attracted the attention of all international media, also due to the distortion of the Trump family name.

Hybrid war, external actors or Iranian enemies? An answer that is not yet known, but that the government has strongly emphasized in recent days as one of the sponsors of this protest. But that all interest groups, all opposition political forces, regardless of beliefs, as well as supporters or sympathizers of the Socialist Party, have been out in the streets for days and are cheering in chorus. Even the Democrats, but the latter, seem to be using the rally for politics.

The line of the last few days followed by the President Sali Berisha, but also the Secretary General of the DP, Flamur Noka, has been completely against the protest. This is also due to the fact that those who are coming out are also demanding reform in the ranks of the DP, although a part of the Democrats, among whom are MPs, are there and silently accept that there is a need for reform in their party, as the argument is missing. Free speech and whoever comes out against the President is declared an "Enemy" and persecuted as a servant of the government.

But will the country go to early elections? Will Edi Rama surrender to the protesters? And of course the other question, what will happen if the conditions are rejected?

A meme on a banner is gathering more people in the square than some political speeches or analyses that are usually made in television studios. But what I want to ask here is: Will Rama resign and will another party be formed among the protesters or will they give support to the figures of the new political forces that have been among them for days?

In any scenario, even in the event of the resignation of the prime minister, the election would result in a winner between the Socialist Party and the Democratic Party. This is also due to the Electoral Code that we currently have.
So, if the protesters want "Revolution", the same political caste will still be on the scene if we put a little reason and argument to work and put emotions aside.

If there is no dialogue with the government, if the opposition is not reformed, and here I am talking about the Democratic Party, which has lost trust and has long been doing nothing but fresh air, then what will happen?
The escalation of the situation or the protests will die down and those few people who gave voice to it will simply be remembered as those who lit the spark of dissatisfaction against politics but who did not finalize even a single change.

Protests strengthen democracy, but when they are finalized with radical reforms. Changing the electoral code, increasing control over institutions, transparency, an uncompromising fight against corruption, support for SPAK and GJKKO, as well as reforming the parties themselves, which for years have not listened to the voice of their membership and have become bunkered down, preventing dialogue, would be a step towards development and changing the political spirit.

This would further accelerate the country's EU membership, but above all, it would strengthen the democracy that has offered Albanians the option of leaving for 35 years.

What would be the scenarios in the overthrow of a government and how many governments have been overthrown by protests?
The case of Nepal was one of them, but are we in these conditions?

Change comes with consequences. We remember this fresh, but dialogue will strengthen governance and democracy when it is met with reforms from all sides, especially civil society and citizens.

Ukraine overthrew pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych, but the change produced very serious consequences, as rallies turned into clashes and war. But in Albania, the spirit of democracy does not compare to this case. Therefore, one of the ways to start the era of change is to present conditions and demands to the government, dialogue and then initiate radical change through comprehensive reforms.

Even if Rama resigns, he will run again in the early elections to be held together with Sali Berisha, as they have the support of their party membership and in the end, the Electoral Code will make them the winners. Therefore, dialogue remains one of the options that would pave the way for change.
