Protests/ Rama: The road to hell is paved with the good intentions of
Edi Rama

Prime Minister Edi Rama has reacted to the citizen protests that have been taking place for 18 days in Tirana and other cities in the country, but also in the Diaspora, where his removal from power is being demanded.

Rama criticized those protesters, who, according to him, are turning the protest into a political demonstration.

According to him, some of the protesters and their supporters are spreading conspiracy theories, bullying language, and rejecting facts, describing them as "crows and ravens" who feed on noise and conflict.

"Because the problem is not the flamingos. Their intention is good. The problem is that the flamingos refuse to listen to the facts, discuss solutions and coordinate forces with institutions and serious sources of expertise, to protect everything necessary by implementing the right project. Thus, they become the tools of the crows and ravens that have surrounded them. I have listened to the flamingos and understand them. I respect their concern without prejudice, precisely because it has always been mine. What I fail to understand is why the flamingos do not want to separate from the crows who feed on noise, slander, conspiracy theories and the ravens who, with bullying and categorical rejection of every fact, seek to take Albania hostage?! Flamingos do not lose their beauty if they engage in a useful discussion about the future of the area and the path of Albania's development. While the crows and ravens remain simply who they are, since November 28, 1912, when they took on the role of shadow that haunts Albania, but without a chance to pave a road to hell with the good intentions of flamingos...", writes Rama


Rama's post:

THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS, goes a very old saying, and there's a reason why this expression has survived for centuries.

It does not invalidate good intentions. On the contrary. Good intentions are the necessary A for the entire alphabet of public engagement ethics. But the path of humanity teaches us that good intentions are by no means enough. On the contrary.

History is full of developments that began with the noblest slogans and the most sincere emotions, but ended in intolerance, fanaticism, or destruction, as a result of the disconnection of perception with reality, imagination with facts, and concern with reason.

Therefore, if good intentions are not subject to the test of facts, if the passion for change is not guided by reason, and if strong convictions are not accompanied by the desire to listen, the distance between defending a principle, a goal, or a cause and their transformation into exclusionary dogma becomes very short. And just like that, the road to hell is not paved with bad intentions, but with good intentions that refuse to be measured by reality.

I have sincere sympathy for everyone who joined this protest out of alarm over nature's danger. Even this aesthetic form of demonstration, with the silhouettes of pink flamingos, delights me with the charm that would otherwise be lacking in a civic protest for nature hastily turned into a political demonstration impoverished in ideas, poor in arguments, degraded in vocabulary, and ugly in its street or digital bullying of anyone who thinks differently.

But this beautiful photograph brings me back to the proverb of the beginning and the "road to hell".

Because the problem is not the flamingos. Their intentions are good. The problem is that the flamingos refuse to listen to the facts, discuss solutions, and coordinate forces with institutions and serious sources of expertise to protect everything necessary by implementing the right project. Thus, they become the tools of the crows and ravens who have surrounded them.

I have heard the flamingos and I understand them. I respect their concern without prejudice, precisely because it has always been mine too. What I fail to understand is why the flamingos do not want to separate themselves from the crows who feed on noise, slander, conspiracy theories and the ravens who, with bullying and categorical rejection of every fact, seek to take Albania hostage?!

Flamingos do not lose their beauty if they engage in a useful discussion about the future of the area and the path of Albania's development. While crows and ravens remain simply who they are, since November 28, 1912, when they took on the role of the shadow that haunts Albania, but without a chance to pave a road to hell with the flamingos' good intentions...
