The protest that is shrinking the DP
The "Martyrs of the Nation" Boulevard is lit up every day ...

Protest is one of the most important expressions of democracy. Citizens have the right to take to the streets, to oppose decisions they consider unjust, and to defend what they believe is in the public interest. In this sense, no one should question the right of protesters to raise their voices.
But another question deserves to be asked: are people going to the protest only with their hearts, or also with their minds? Humans are "homo sapiens," which means intelligent beings, so is reason and clarity at work in this protest?
For example, the protest has a dominant presence from leftist NGOs that were recently financially supported by USAID. President Trump closed USAID, depriving NGOs of financial support in the world and especially in Albania. Think about it, does this make sense why the anti-Trump spirit dominates the protests?
The pro-family coalition's initiatives were attacked by pro-LGBTQ+ NGOs and immediately the pink flamingo symbol associated with LGBTQ+ has now been made official as the symbol of the protests. Every category should be respected and not discriminated against, but the mind must understand whether the protesters know the agenda of this category which is in open opposition, and as has been proven through lawsuits, is openly against the traditional family? Do those protesting against hormonal intervention for transgender people know that LGBTQ+ messages and symbols are waving above their heads?
As the most pro-American country in the region and with a unique history of protecting Jews, the anti-Semitic and anti-American slogans clearly demonstrate external interference to disrupt the excellent relationship between Albania and the US and with Israel. Does any sincere protester know that anti-Trump and anti-Israel slogans are waving next to him or her?
Also, neo-Marxist and extreme leftist elements are exploiting the protest for their political credentials and ideology. This is a democratic right, but do the true patriots who are protesting understand that the extreme leftist and Marxist agenda opposes the very notion of nationalism and patriotism, as they believe in universal unity without borders? Does this fact also reinforce the hour-by-hour coverage that the declared leftist world media is giving to the protests?
Religious extremists are fighting Israel. Never before have there been anti-Israel slogans on the streets of Tirana or Albania. Iranian media is using photos of Albanian children for anti-American propaganda, making the protests seem more about fighting Trump and big investors like Kushner than domestic issues.
Në lidhje me Kushner. Kundërshtimi ndaj një investimi të caktuar mund të jetë i arsyeshëm. Askush nuk është i detyruar të pranojë çdo projekt vetëm sepse premton zhvillim ekonomik. Por së pari ata që e kundërshtojnë duhet të kuptojnë më së miri situatën dhe procesin dhe debati nuk mund të mbarojë te fjala “jo”. Por duhet të shterojnë edhe pyetjen - Çfarë ndodh më pas?
Nëse investitorë të mëdhenj ndërkombëtarë përballen me kundërshtim të fortë të panegociueshëm dhe vendosin të largohen, çfarë sinjali u jepet investitorëve të tjerë? A do të ndihen më të sigurt për të ardhur në Shqipëri apo më të pasigurt? A është analizuar ky aspekt me të njëjtin seriozitet me të cilin analizohen rreziqet e projekteve? Nëse dëbohet pa asnjë shpjegim Kushneri, një ndër emrat më të mëdhenj të investimit në botë, kujt investitori tjetër me të vogël do ia mbajë të vijë në Shqipëri?
Pika tjetër. SHBA ka zgjedhje për Kongresin në Nëntor, e bie në sy që majtistët po e luftojnë Trump-in nga Tirana. Një super mundësi për ta teksa rrugët mbushen përplot me njerëz që në fakt protestojnë për arsye të ndryshme. Ndaj edhe politikanët majtistë amerikanë dhe evropianë i kanë sytë nga Tirana. Jo për flamengot por po u jepet oksigjen për betejën kundër Trump.
Gjithashtu shtrohet pyetja? A ka lëvizje të huaja dashakeqe brenda protestët për të minuar anëtarësimin e Shqipërisë në BE dhe samitin e NATOs në Tiranë vitin që vjen, ku mund të diskutohet edhe anëtarësimi i Kosovës në aleancën Euro-Atlantike? A duhet të jetë i vëmendshëm çdo protestues në lidhje me këto?
Po aq interesante është edhe prania e faktorëve politikë. Në çdo protestë ka përpjekje për kapitalizim politik. Kjo është normale. Por partitë duhet të pyesin veten nëse po mbështesin një kauzë qytetare apo thjesht po kërkojnë një mjet për të goditur kundërshtarin.
Është vënë re që elementë të PD, me sa duket nga dëshpërimi i pamundësisë për të rrëzuar Ramën i bashkohen protestës, por, a e kuptojnë ata që falë Ramës ata mbahen pas alibisë së qeverisjes së tij që sot janë parti e dytë, pasi pa Ramën, e nën këtë lëvizje protestash PD bie nga e dyta e zbret shumë më poshtë si forcë politike?
Zemra është padyshim në aksion. Shumë qytetarë kanë dalë në protestë sepse ndiejnë shqetësim për zhvillime që prekin mjedisin, trashëgiminë, pronën publike ose drejtimin që po merr vendi. Ky është një reagim legjitim në një shoqëri të lirë.
Megjithatë, nëse pranojmë se zemra është e përfshirë, atëherë duhet të hapim edhe sytë e mendjes. Kush janë grupet që po marshojnë krah për krah? Çfarë synimesh kanë? Dhe a janë të gjitha këto synime të njëjta?
The protests feature environmental activists, non-governmental organizations, civil rights activists, political parties, groups with different ideological and sexual orientations, individuals with completely different motives. Some are focused on the environment. Others on politics. Some oppose the government. Others oppose certain models of economic development. There are also those who see the protest as part of a broader cultural or ideological struggle.
This raises a fundamental question: is the protest a movement with a clear purpose, or a temporary union of groups that share only the opposition of the moment?
In political history, strange alliances have often been formed. People who would never sit at the same table suddenly find themselves in the same square. This is not necessarily wrong. But the ordinary citizen should know that he is joining a concrete cause and not all the agendas that may be present within it, which are also anti-national.
Anti-American and anti-Israel slogans are anti-national and no one should support them.
In the end, the question is not whether the protest is right or wrong. The question is whether citizens fully understand the mosaic of forces operating within it.
When you see the banners, slogans, organizers, support groups, and debates on social media, a dilemma arises: are we dealing with a movement united by a common vision for Albania, or with a temporary union of interests, ideologies, and grievances that often have nothing in common?
Protest is healthy for democracy. But democracy doesn't just require heart. It also requires a clear mind.
Therefore, before asking who is against whom, perhaps we should ask a simpler question: does the ordinary Albanian citizen find himself among all the groups that speak in his name? Is a homo sapiens patriot or a Marxist? Is a homo sapiens pro-family or pro-homosexuality? Is he pro-development and investment through transparency or pro-opposition to any “imperialist” development initiative?
This is the question every protester should ask with their eyes wide open. Which category do they belong to?
