Activist and lawyer Erion Murataj has stated that the protest that started for 21 days has gone from a civic reaction to a “patriotic duty”, while he has called for the political class to listen to the people’s demands.
“Not only is it a civic duty, but I think it has become a patriotic duty to be in this protest. You have been in the protest since the first day… I guarantee to Rama and Berisha, that in case they don’t listen to them, they can also speak, but not as skuta“, he said to News 24.
According to him, the protest has managed to break fear and show that citizens can organize themselves for issues related to the future of the country, while he added that the participation of young people and the way the protest was organized have shown a different image of Albanian society.
“The protest has broken the fear, the disbelief that Albanians can stand up for their destiny. It has managed to internationalize this fact, it has brought it to the EP. Most importantly, the protest has managed to prove the creative spirit that the Albanian youth has, also through the media. It has managed to reveal the best qualities that the Albanian family has. They are not cliques, as Edi Rama says. They know how to speak the language of reason and culture”. he said.
Speaking about the following days, Murataj said that he sees no room for negotiations, while repeating the main demand of the protesters.
“There is only one prediction, there are no negotiations! You said, the protest has achieved many of its missions. The goal is the resignation of Rama. The political class has come to an end. The call for SPAK, Rama in prison, Berisha in prison. Massification is huge every day. Taxes have increased, abusive fines have increased, basket prices have increased.” declared the activist.
Erion Murataj: Not only is it a civic duty, but I think it has become a patriotic duty to be in this protest. You have been protesting since day one, you were the only ones. The protest has entered a phase that requires not just achieving an objective, but a goal. The matter escalated from the shot that set it on fire. What happened in Zvërnec is everything that Albanians have seen in these 36 years. Zvrneci was used as war booty.
Who produced the AMTP that appropriated that property? Binomi produced it from the law 7051. Who gave the certificate of ownership? Rama’s government has it. Within a short time, 15 directors have been changed at the Cadastre of Vlora. The document does not bear the stamp of a party, but of the Albanian institution. They play ‘balls of war’ with responsibility and the laws they co-voted themselves. The only ones who have suffered the consequences are the people and the causes are; Rama and Berisha.
The protest has broken the fear, the disbelief that Albanians can stand up for their destiny. He managed to internationalize this fact, he brought it to the EP. Most importantly, the protest has managed to prove the creative spirit of the Albanian youth, also through the media. It has managed to reveal the best qualities that the Albanian family has. They are not çyryky, as Edi Rama says. They know how to speak the language of reason and culture. I guarantee to Rama and Berisha, that if they don’t listen to them, they know how to speak, but not like skuta! The State Police lived in Zvrnec, and saw a private group of oligarchs. International drug trafficking is not only done by individuals, but by institutional classes.
Do not forget the interventions in the TIMS system, the involvement of politicians, crime coordinators. Albanians have understood that the real bandits are politics, but they are behaving with a lot of culture. Albanians have endured the Turkish and Ottoman yoke for 500 years, but this does not mean that they submit. Citizens have taken the fate of the country in their hands politically with this protest! Some of the men and women of the Anticorruption Structures, I recognize their professional ability. SPAK has written history in Albania. He brought the deputy prime minister to justice, to bring him to criminal responsibility, but Rama refused. Ergys Agasi has taken Rama by the neck for giving the Albanians a lot of evidence against him.
The forecast is only one, there is no negotiation! You said, the protest has achieved many of its missions. The goal is Rama’s resignation. The political class has come to an end. Call for SPAK; Rama in prison, Berisha in prison. Massification is huge every day. Taxes have gone up, abusive fines have gone up, basket prices have gone up.
