Analyst Haxhi Isufi has reacted through a post on social media regarding the protests held in the country against Prime Minister Edi Rama, rejecting claims that they are negatively affecting tourism.
In his post, Isufi writes that the protesters were initially labeled with various accusations, while now, according to him, they are being accused of driving tourists away from Albania. He emphasizes that foreign citizens have also participated in the protests and that several MEPs have expressed support for the rallies, indicating that they have no reason to be afraid.
Isufi also recalls the collapse of the "Prestige" resort, comparing it to current claims about the impact of the protests on tourism, while emphasizing that no one forgets that in the middle of the day, the "Prestige" filled with tourists was hit and blown up, without any thought for the tourists.
He then criticizes the organization of a Kaney Wast concert and the way in which, according to him, public funds were managed, as 4.2 million euros were wasted.
At the end of the reaction, Isufi invites citizens to participate in the protest, until Rama's departure, describing the protest as an experience that, according to him, conveys hope and optimism.
Full reaction:
The protest is scaring away TOURISTS
After the protesters were mocked, then called spies of Iran, Serbia, Greece, Korea, China, India, Afghanistan, etc., today we hear that they are scaring tourists from coming to Albania.
Surprisingly, MEPs also came and spoke at the protest, but at night, tourists from different countries speak and greet the protest, and even participate in it.
This slogan: "Tourists are being scared," reminded me of the bombing, in broad daylight, of the PRESTIGHE resort, packed with tourists, and the poor, traumatized, with their underwear on, went out onto the sand to see where the bombing was coming from... Some even came out of the showers naked.
And today they are being forced to fill the stadium where GORILLA will sing with schoolchildren and state employees. The Prime Minister said that he paid 4,2 million euros not to blacken Albania, but it seems to me that you closed it for a black face with a black ass.
I'm not racist, but realistic. This is what happens when someone who has only sung the song "My Book, How Much I Love You" in his life is involved in music around the world.
Goodbye to the boulevard. I'm going out almost at night; it seems to me like I'm seeing a beautiful dream...
