Prime Minister Edi Rama shared on social media this Tuesday a photo of a protester sitting in front of the Prime Minister's Office building, expressing the opinion that some of the protesters are being used by certain individuals for their own interests.
Rama's post was responded to by the person whose photo the prime minister shared.
Erlis Sina opposed the prime minister's message, calling the attempt to portray the protesters as a deceived or manipulated crowd contemptuous of them.
According to Sina, his participation in the protest is not related to anyone's influence, but to his conviction about the political responsibilities that have led the country to the current situation. He emphasizes that citizens do not come out because of algorithms, influencers or political appeals, but because of the problems they face every day.
Sina has directly addressed the prime minister, accusing him of responsibility for the emigration of young people, social injustices and the arrogance of the government. He says that the attempt to present the protesters as manipulated is not a sign of understanding, but contempt for them.
Erlis Sina's full reaction:
Forced answer for Edi Rama!
I AM NOT YOU!
Don't tell me you see yourself in my photo.
I am not you.
I am not the one who has held power for years.
I'm not the one who signs decisions that change people's lives.
I am not the one who controls the institutions, budgets, and destinies of this country.
It's you.
So don't you dare tell me that my problem is like your problem.
You are not a victim of my troubles.
You are their author.
You are the author of the emigration of thousands of young people who no longer saw a future in Albania.
You are the author of the injustices that force people to leave their country.
You are the author of the arrogance of a government that no longer listens to anyone but itself.
When you say you are afraid of those who could harm Albania, forget one thing:
There is no abyss deeper than vote theft.
There is no abyss deeper than the theft of property.
There is no abyss deeper than the destruction of dignity.
There is no abyss deeper than the theft of the future of an entire generation.
Thousands of people don't fill out the squares because the algorithm manipulates them.
They don't protest because influencers demand it.
They don't get angry because the opposition dictates to them.
They come out because they live reality every day.
Because they pay the bills.
Because they are looking for work.
Because they are waiting in hospitals.
Because they see the children leaving.
Because they feel like strangers in their own country.
And when you try to present them as a used crowd, you're not understanding them.
You are despising them.
My picture on your wall makes me dirty.
Don't use it to wash away your responsibilities.
Don't use it to hide your failures.
Don't use it to build your story as a savior.
I am not you.
And if I'm in the square, I'm not there because someone tricked me.
I'm here because I know very well who brought me here.
