Two sides of the same coin!

Edi Rama and Sali Berisha do not represent two opposing models of the state. They represent two versions of the same political culture: a culture where power tries to remain above the law, where the state is treated as private property, and where public decision-making is often put at the service of the minority.
For 35 years, this culture has produced a stable model: rotation without accountability. Whoever left power was not held accountable. Whoever came to power inherited the same mechanism. The names changed, but not the way power was exercised. The parties changed, but not the logic of impunity.
In this sense, this society has understood that the real division in Albania has never been between left and right.
In the streets of Tirana, cries are heard that are not directed at one party against another, but at an entire system:
"Rama resigns!"
"Rama in jail, Berisha in jail!"
"The end has come for you!"
These are not just protest slogans. They are signs of the revolt of a society that for 35 years has seen governments change, but not the way in which power is exercised. They are the voice of people who no longer believe that changing names brings real change.
One of the most significant phenomena of these last two days is the continuous and deliberate attempt to divert the message of the protest, to reduce this protest to a revolt against Edi Rama. This is neither a misunderstanding nor an innocent interpretation.
It is a conscious strategy to divert its message.
The same political actors who have been warming the seats in parliament for years, who have joined votes with Edi Rama when they needed their seats, who have been silent when they should have spoken and have compromised when they should have opposed, today try to present a civic revolt as a decoration of an ordinary electoral conflict against a single man. As if Albania's problem began and ended with a name.
This is political hypocrisy in its purest form.
Because protest is not their property, nor their instrument, nor an extension of their political agendas.
The protest is against an entire model of power that has produced impunity for decades against Edi Rama, against Sali Berisha and against the entire political culture that has enabled them to function on the same logic of the system.
Therefore, any attempt to narrow this protest into a conflict between government and opposition is not simply wrong. It is an attempt to deprive it of meaning.
Because in the end, the real opposition today is not in parliament.
The real opposition today is the citizens in the square.
