The surprise of Rama's speech: Either he didn't understand anything about the protest, or he didn't really reflect

Prime Minister Edi Rama addressed the deputies of the Socialist Party Parliamentary Group and members of his government cabinet, with what he has announced as a reflective speech following the flamingo protest under his office.

Among other things, in his speech, the Prime Minister quoted the renowned philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville, saying that he once wrote: "the most dangerous moment for a government comes precisely when it has begun to change things."

"Alexis de Tocqueville has left us a written warning about exactly this phase we have entered, "the most dangerous moment for a government comes precisely when it has begun to change things" and the examples of change are countless, the danger is now more legible.

"For 100 years or so in Albania, not a single high-ranking official had been investigated or tried. Corruption was accepted as if it were the fatality of a natural disaster," he said. 

The Prime Minister further indicated that these numerous changes have occurred with the justice reform, or with the provision of online services, where according to him, people no longer have to wait for hours in lines.

Rama also once again told the story of the mother of a friend of his, who had come out in protest because she had a "bitter" experience with the polyclinic where she went every day before sunrise, to wait in line to receive service.

Rama said that they can show her all the hospitals that have been built, or the investment that has been made in them with new equipment, but she has her own experience and the goal should be to change the experience.

"We can tell that grandmother how many hospitals we have built, how much equipment we have purchased for hospitals, they are facts like sunlight, but her fact is the experience of that queue at the polyclinic when the sun has not yet risen. We must change, so that her experience can change," Rama said, among other things.

Now Rama either didn't understand anything about the protest, or didn't reflect at all.

Because those people who came out to protest did not come out because Albania is good, but for the opposite.

For corruption, for injustice, for the accumulation of Albania's wealth in the hands of a small group of oligarchs, who are favored by the Government, for the frightening deficiencies in the health system, forcing Albanians to go to hospitals in Europe for treatment, for the destruction of education, for the closure of schools, for the disappearance of villages and cities, for the massive departure of youth from the country, because they have no hope here, and many more.

To say that people have come out in protest because the Government has changed Albania for the better is not only misleading, but a total disconnect from reality.
