The resignation of the Minister of the Interior of Albania Sander lesiai failed to quell the rising anger of Albanian society over the cold-blooded murder of the 25-year-old Claudian Rassia. The young man violated the current traffic ban as part of the measures to curb the coronavirus. He moved a few feet from his house to buy cigarettes. The Albanian police, who have also previously criticized for excessive use of force against civilians, he shot him in the back. Died instantly while holding the keys in his hand, in the doorway of his apartment building.

THE Eddy Rama “sacrificed” his minister, who in the past has been at the center of the protests, when by his order the demolition of Tirana National Theater.

The situation in the neighboring country recalls “Days of Grigoropoulos” in Greece. So it seems that each country has its own dead, whose death acts as a spark for social unrest. Then in Albania, where for about 24 hours we have had phenomena of direct confrontation between citizens and the State. Damage was caused to the Interior Ministry building and the Prime Minister’s Palace. Protesters burned the city’s christmas tree and destroyed decorations for the New Year’s reception. They already have Dozens of civilians, police and journalists injured.

Albanian Prime Minister seems to be at the center of the world’s wrath. Albanian citizens shouted slogans against Prime Minister Rama, such as “Rama go” and “I’m claudio”. Although Rama accepted the resignation of his minister and condemned the policeman’s action of shooting him Claudian Rassia, He defended the work of the police. The fact that he tried to capitalize on the situation and further polarize the country’s already fragile political climate made a special impression. And this, as the president of the country showed as responsible for the demonstrations. Ilir Meta and the opposition. The massive reactions, as the days go by, seem to go beyond the unnecessary murder of the young man.

Plus, people flooding the streets are not just complaining about police violence. Equality, economic insecurity and a corrupt political system have infused the majority of Albanian society with intolerance and anger. Ingrained dissatisfaction of citizens with their poor living conditions has returned to the public sphere. Even today, many of them are forced to migrate economically.. The recent campaign of intimidation by the Rama government against journalists and the media has also exacerbated the climate.

If anger does not subside, it is not ruled out Rama’s government lies with its back to the wall. After all, it must not be forgotten that parliamentary elections are scheduled for April 25, 2021. There is no doubt that the opposition will seek to take advantage of the fact, while the prime minister may triumph with greater resentment towards the sector of society that turns against him. The government has already developed armored vehicles, water cannons as well as a large police force to deal with new mass demonstrations. Yesterday, the police were deployed around the prime minister’s office, to prevent the entry of angry protesters. It remains to be seen how things will turn out and whether the current situation will cause further injury to an already a wounded society. And all this in the name of a child who paid with his life for an infraction, a few meters from his home.
