Opposition protest/ Kikia for CNA: It attracted the attention of the

Analyst and journalist Mentor Kikia, in a statement for CNA, commented on the latest opposition protest, held the day before in front of the Prime Minister's Office.

Asked what this protest produced, Kikia said that no one thinks that one or a few protests can bring down the government, emphasizing that even the leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, who follows this narrative, does not believe this, but he needs it to keep his followers inspired.

But according to the analyst, this protest had an achievement, as it attracted the attention of international media, which in their headlines linked the opposition protest to government corruption.

According to Kiki, majority-opposition relations have already gone "down the drain" and the solution lies in the hands of civic reaction or revolt.

"I don't think anyone thought that, with one or even a few protests, they would be able to overthrow a government. Not even Berisha himself, who repeats this narrative, believes it, but he needs it to keep his followers inspired. However, protest is a political tool, even though it is in fact the last resort for doing politics. As such, it has its own effects, while the majority-opposition relations have already gone down the "road" and the solution is in the hands of the citizen reaction or revolt as the opposition calls it. As such, it affects keeping the spirit of reaction and citizen contestation alive, and above all, if we are going to talk about an achievement, it is the attraction of the attention of the domestic public but above all the factor, diplomacy and international institutions. The images of the protest on the night of February 10 and the headlines "Protest against the government due to corruption", were published in some of the largest and most important media in the world", Kikia declared for CNA./ CNA
