Prime Minister Edi Rama has responded to the protesters' ongoing call for him to resign for 20 days. In a speech at a meeting of the Socialist Party group, Rama made a comparison to the work of Omer, bringing up the character of the Odyssey.
He said that power will never fall into the hands of noise.
"Many people have written to me saying that I gave the impression that I was going to resign! It never crossed my mind that a crowd would go and block the airport. The gradual withdrawal of those who went there to participate in the scheme, and the remaining group where there is a terrible mix. People are coming from Kosovo, Macedonia, to save Albania in the name of Albanians! They are screaming! Meanwhile, people who function with reason, and those in banks, the best paid, understand that there is something wrong here. How have I answered anyone that I used to feel like... When there are moments like this, I am pleased to remember a detail from Homer when Odysseus approaches the sirens and refuses to listen to them. On the contrary, he insists on listening to them, because he understands how great the temptation is one way or another. He ties himself to the mast of the ship, not because he does not trust himself, but because he does not negotiate his destination. What he can do in a single moment to He jumps into the water after the sirens, he stops it with ropes, tying himself up. The goal is what has brought him there and to the end. This of Odysseus is the most extraordinary metaphor of leadership and government. A government never surrenders the helm to the noise. A leadership is not given to the noise. The more the noise increases, the more a leadership group strengthens its identity by uniting everyone in the name of the destination. ", he said.
