Invited to the show "This Week" on "News 24", journalist Ergys Gjençaj covered the opposition protest that was held on February 10 in front of the Prime Minister's Office.
Journalist Gjençaj has analyzed in detail the course of events from the start of the protest to the throwing of Molotov cocktails, fireworks and tear gas, and the tensions that included both the Prime Minister's Office and Parliament.
Another tense situation was the situation of the operator. News24 Aldo Kashri, who was engulfed in flames. Gjençaj said that the situation was shocking, and that at the moment the incident occurred there was a panic that engulfed everyone nearby.
During the interview, journalist Gjençaj brought another analysis and perspective, stating that the protests should have a civic revolt and that this would be the right way to make the government retreat, or truly feel in danger.
"Considering how the opposition protests have evolved, but also the previous protests, it was like a written or prescribed scenario. It seemed like it was expected. I was stationed at the beginning of the "Deshmorët e Kombit" Boulevard. Before the protest started, we passed by the Ministry of Interior and the Parliament. The Parliament building was surrounded by police, so there was also that feeling that there would be an advance. And immediately after the Molotov cocktails and fireworks started, I broke away and went to the Parliament. Immediately, the supporting forces arrived at the Parliament and the situation became more understandable that something was going to happen. Immediately, the first protesters arrived and there was a kind of tension," he said, adding: "At the end of the day, the fireworks, the Molotov cocktails, on the date of February 20, which also has symbolism. But will we solve anything? Beyond all the accusations, if the protest will have resistance... the protest was called by a political party. I think the government will change or fall if it "There really is a citizen revolt. I ask you to back down from the protest against chemical weapons, or the student protest. If there is a unity of citizens then it could be dangerous," he said.
He further added that the protests have delivered their message, however, he emphasizes that if there were a movement to 'settle the parties' it would come mostly from the international factor.
"Such protests certainly have a message. The last two protests have delivered the message. There have been moments to show the revolt of the citizens but also to say that we 'are here to stay'. If we are going to have a movement to overthrow the government, but to bring the parties together, it will come mostly from the international factor. I believe that sooner or later we can have a dialogue," he said.
