The policeman is just the beginning of the crisis outbreak

There is no doubt that what erupted yesterday in the Socialist Party bastion of Skrapar, where citizens rose up against a government decision by burning SP cards, is a symptom that shows the deep crisis of legitimacy that the SP and this majority have entered.
This is for two reasons.
First, because Skrapar is not an ordinary municipality. It has been for years one of the safest bastions of the Socialist Party, and in bastions, power is not based solely on votes, but on the emotional and political identification of citizens with the party.
Precisely for this reason, when a revolt breaks out in a stronghold, it has a completely different meaning than a protest in a traditionally oppositional area.
Second, the burning of the SP card.
This is because the tessera is not just a plastic card, it is the symbol of political affiliation and when a citizen publicly burns it, he does not just reject a government decision, he rejects the political relationship that connects him to that party. With this act he announces and declares that he no longer feels represented by it.
This is actually the most classic definition of a legitimacy crisis. Because legitimacy is not measured only by a parliamentary majority or 800,000 votes, but it is measured by the continued acceptance of authority by those who have supported it.
The moment this support begins to crack from within, the government enters a much more complicated phase than a normal political crisis.
In this context, the question arises: is this development related to the cause and protest taking place in Tirana?
Of course it is. This is not only due to the fact that one of the tribunes of the revolt in Skrapar was Egla Ceno, one of the most vocal supporters of the protest, but also due to the fact that the greatest effect of a long protest is not only the pressure it exerts on the government, but is that it changes the perception of citizens and creates the conviction that power can be challenged and that opposition is no longer simply an isolated act that is being expressed only in the square.
When this psychological barrier falls, long-standing grievances begin to be expressed publicly, and what remained silent yesterday becomes a revolt today.
This is precisely the effect that the protests seem to be having, and it seems that we will have such acts and such expressions of revolt throughout Albania in the coming days and months until this crisis is properly addressed.
