Publicist Ndriçim Kulla was one of the speakers at today's civic protest in front of the Prime Minister's Office building, which began 29 days ago and continues without interruption, as thousands of protesters demand the resignation of Edi Rama.
The writer presented his book "The Tyranny of Smiles", where he describes the prime minister as a dictator, while calling on citizens and politicians to reflect on the protest.
Kulla said he was present not only as a citizen, but also as an intellectual, emphasizing the importance of culture in political and social life.
In his speech, Kulla said that culture helps to enlighten the mind and argued that its lack has brought about the current political situation in the country. He compared Prime Minister Edi Rama's stance in power to standards that, according to him, would not be accepted in other European countries.
Kulla said he had considered rewriting his book "Who Are We Albanians" due to his disappointment with developments in the country, but added that the protest had restored his hope and optimism. He described the rally as a "revolution" and called on politicians to reflect on the protesters' message and learn from what he called the "tragedies" that have been created.
According to Kulla, modern dictators do not come to power through tanks or direct repression, but through spectacle, promises and public communication, while adding that his book aims to argue this thesis in the case of Prime Minister Rama.
At the end of his speech, he called on the participants to continue the protest until Edi Rama leaves power.
" I am here not only as a citizen. Also as an intellectual. I would like to mix your anger with a little culture because I see a big defect. Culture enlightens the mind. If we were cultured, we would not have reached such an impasse.
We Croatians wouldn't have kept Edi Rama for even 2 years. We've been keeping him for 16 years. I wrote a book about who we Albanians are. In these moments I was desperate, I thought about rewriting the book.
This protest has given us all hope. It has nourished us with optimism, I call it a revolution. Without adding anything. As a preface, I call on politicians to reflect on this revolution. To put their finger on their heads and learn lessons from the tragedies that have created us.
I came with a gift. I have meditated for a long time on Rama's governance and I have written a book I call dictator, with reasoning, literature with psychiatry, with psychology with science in a word. That this is one of the most destructive influences that has come to the Albanian nation. He is spectacular, I have called him the Devil, the Macbeth who lives with power. My book, "The Tyranny of Smiles".
Dictators like Edi Rama, typically, have not come with tanks, violence and repression, they have come with spectacle, smiles and scenes, with promises and jokes. But they have not always come with ideas of institutions. They have come with ideas of power.
In the book you will find an analysis of Edi Rama. I want to appeal to you, you will not let this protest go until Edi Rama is overthrown. Forward !”, he said.
