As the protest against the project in Zvërnec enters its ninth day and is accompanied by growing participation and increasingly broad political demands, Prime Minister Edi Rama continues his efforts to minimize the movement and the motives of its participants.
From Shkodra, during the event for the 35th anniversary of the Socialist Party, Rama shared a conversation that, according to him, he had had with a friend known on social networks, who had participated in the protest against the project.
"Why did you come out? What's wrong? What's wrong with you? Come on, stop talking, ask me," Rama said he had told his friend.
According to the prime minister, after his insistence on understanding the reasons for the protest, his friend replied : "Yes, brother, I have Instagram, it's becoming famous, how can I leave it?"
Commenting on this episode, Rama said that some of the people who go to protests do so to gain attention on social networks.
"These people stay and go out to collect 'likes' and comments on Instagram. Do you understand where we are?" he said.
"Hey, I said to one of these people who is well-known: 'Why did you come out? What's wrong? What's your concern? Come on, stop talking nonsense, ask me.'
- No, man, it's not the environment's business.
– You see, they have concerns.
– Okay, I understand them, but what about you?
– Yes, brother, I have Instagram, it's becoming famous, how can I leave it?
These people sit and go out to collect "likes" and comments on Instagram. Do you understand where we are? And I don't want to say that there is no reason to protest, there certainly is, but above all there is reason to work, to build, to come together, because the door that has been opened for us to enter that house is a door that we can never allow anyone or any Albanian to close.
"The investor can leave, but we ate him once. He left us and went to Tivat, and today we have to rumble Montenegro ," Rama said.
