The price of oil and the "oil" made by Civil Society. Why did the
Protests over rising prices

NOTE: When the price of oil jumped over 200 lek per liter in early March, thousands of angry Albanians took to the streets and squares for several days to protest against the price increase, which in addition to the reasons for fluctuations in international markets , in Albania there is also a large part of abuse.

The climax was with the national protest called on March 9th. In terms of turnout, it was compared as massively as the autumn 2013 protest against chemical weapons, and the permanent civil society actors lined up to catch the megaphone first.

They denounced how they were being robbed, demanded the abolition of excise duties and tax cuts, and excited by the mass participation in the protest, 'threatened' Rama and the oligarchs that they would face them until the price dropped as much as in the countries of the region.

Until this moment, the government and the Prime Minister Edi Rama had washed their hands saying that the prices are not set by the government, but by the free market, "which we have chosen for 30 years".

But after this protest the government changed its mind and set up a board, which was named the Transparency Board. The board was a joint table with major fuel importers, including Kastrati and Gega.

The first board meeting was held on March 12, while protests continued, though not on the scale of March 9. The board started the game of psychological pricing. Oil fell from 223 lek to 217 lek in the first meeting.

And so on the price in the subsequent meetings continued to move up to 5 lek ups and downs from meeting to meeting of the board. The protest was extinguished, civil society activists and actors filled the television screens ... while the Albanians were paying.

Since then, oil has never fallen to the level of countries in the region, which have less than 200 lek per liter. Today, the price set by the fuel cartel, as MP Erion Braçe calls it, is 248 lek, which is even higher than the price that prompted the protest.

Po ku është sot shoqëria civile? Ku janë aktorët e saj që u çorrën e ngjirën me megafon e mikrofon në dorë duke denoncuar vjedhjen e shqiptarëve? Pse po heshtin? A u shitën? A u blenë nga karteli me tolona falas? Po shqiptarët, kaq shumë lek paskan pasur që janë strukur dhe pajtuar me vjedhjen që po u bëhet?

Se që bëhet fjalë për vjedhje, shitja nga disa pika karburanti poshtë çmimit të fiksuar nga bordi i kontrolluar nga Kastrati e Gega është prova më e qartë. Sot, pikat e karburanteve që nuk janë nën kontrollin e tyre po e shesin deri në 13 lek më poshtë litrin e naftës.

Po, ata po dalin me humbje, ashtu siç deklaroi se po del karteli i karburanteve? Jo! Ata po fitojnë, por thjesht nuk kanë grykësinë e oligarkëve që janë gati t’i pinë edhe pikën e fundit të gjakut këtij populli.

Everyone is winning. The fuel oligarchs are winning, the government is collecting more revenue and indirectly transferring the consumer price crisis, and perhaps professional protesters have won with expensive glasses over their heads that leave no pulpits, megaphones and microphones unoccupied, but that they use the anger of citizens against injustices to fill their pockets.

... the only ones who are losing are the citizens.
