  4. Because the coverage is live, sometimes people come up behind someone being interviewed and hold up a sign.

    This one says (machine translated):

    "Labor pensions
    Stolen by state crime.
    State crime over the law (Article
    79) and border fact in
    Lunder protected by SPAK"

    SPAK is supposed to be the independent agency in Albania for investigating corruption. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_

    This report returns to the catalyst for the #FlamingoRevolution

    This is important, but it is also important for the international audience to understand it isn't just about the environment for Albanians. What happened in late May was a catalyst because it was the match on a decades long pile of oligarchical corruption that robs the Albanian people of what their hard work should be earning, and scatters their youth to the winds trying to find a better living somewhere else.

    They want to protect their land, but they also want to eliminate corruption and hold those who stole billions from them to be held accountable.

    Like people in many countries where AirBnB and other tourism approaches have made housing scarce and worsened the wealth gap, they also want *sustainable* tourism where the people instead of the rich benefit.

  10. Toppling one leader and with him (or her) a political force under his total control is not sufficient to bring down a system.
    ...........

    But what should be done in a post-Rama period if he is toppled?
    It will probably take as much time to unravel the system he has constructed for 13 years.

  11. It seems however long you live there is always some new, unhinged, stupid shit to be heard. I mean, listen to fucking this idea:

    (Corrupt) Minister of Culture in Serbia said that by us allowing #Trump to build his shit on a protected site in mid town Belgrade that was bombed by NATO (Clinton in '99 to distact from Lewinsky scandal) - it would be a form of apology to Serbia from current USA administration.

    Unbelievable.

  12. Day 80 of anti-corruption protest in Tirana, Albania

    EIGHTY CONSECUTIVE DAYS of peaceful protest against institutional and governmental corruption.

  13. This is an example of the way public money is used here (in addition to the ways it is outright thieved away) that is one of the reasons Albanians are on the street protesting. The people here remain so poor with so few good prospects that most of their youth leave and join the diaspora.

    "That record gives the Vlora Airport dispute significance beyond the fate of a single infrastructure project. A new claim potentially running into hundreds of millions of euros would revive questions about how the Albanian state manages major concession contracts and why commercial disputes involving public institutions have repeatedly escalated into expensive international proceedings."

  14. Day 78 of anti-corruption protest in Tirana, Albania

    🔴Diaspora i bashkohet sërish revoltës në shesh: Kërkojmë dorëheqjen e Ramës

    This is the last night of this diaspora weekend - with many of the Albanian diaspora having traveled here again to do the protest.

    There are also a couple banners that make reference to Day 16 of the protest against the forced consolidation of the Municipality of Divjakë with the Municipality of Lushnje. So it's not a completely unrelated protest, but people are inspired to get out on the streets due to the Flamingo Revolution.
