Professor Klement Mile commented on the protest, describing it as a positive development for changing the political culture in the country. Invited to News24, Mile said he had participated in one of the protests to see up close a phenomenon that, according to him, shows that citizens are raising their voices.
"I was at a protest once. I went to see such a phenomenon, such as raising one's voice. Because Albanians have often kept their mouths shut or gone abroad. It unites me and I see positives in this protest, the change in culture. Because today voices are raised," said Mile.
According to him, the fact that citizens are reacting and expressing their dissatisfaction should not be considered a minor development.
"But they shouldn't take it for granted as if this is a small thing. We will have to have a political culture. The protest has brought and laid some cornerstones of new politics," the professor said.
Mile emphasized that every protest has a beginning and an end, but what remains important is what happens after it and whether citizens will continue to react to the government.
"This protest will also end, where every phenomenon has a beginning and an end. But what will happen after this? If bad governance continues again, then if the people react again, it will be their fault that we planted this new policy," said Mile.
The professor also commented on some of the protesters' calls, describing them as influenced by the political language of the past. "Those calls for 'prison this and prison that,' some calls are ballistic, some are communist," he said.
