"The sounds from Tirana last night- water cannons and stun grenades - it seems apocalyptic."

They say that the way that the Rama government is behaving in basically acting in a pretty Trumpian fashion, which is, well, we'll go around these rules, you know, if there's a deal to be done, let's do a deal, let's sell the land, let's give you the licenses, etc., etc., that that ultimately makes EU accession all the harder. So, as ever, we're... Somehow the Trump family manages to insert itself into almost every geopolitical story at the moment. The EU is the kind of the overarching thing, at least in this case, that many of the protests are continuing. But I mean, look, we had you there on the streets in August, the guy saying there may be violence and this may come. And you listen to the sounds and the pictures from Tirana last night with the water cannon, the stun grenades. It seemed a pretty apocalyptic kind of vision on the streets there last night that made Paris at the weekend almost look genteel. And so this is serious. I mean, how much longer does Rama survive as Prime Minister with this level of protest? I mean, this has been going on now for, you know, I mean, this has been going on for months and months and months. It's intensifying. It seems it's intensifying, and also Rama himself has refused to back down, has dug in, right? It's become clearly now also a matter of matter for his own survival. I think you've got to remember with a lot of these, you know, These sort of post-Yugoslavian states, Balkan states, many of which are trying to get into the EU. You know, I think one of the reasons that so many Albanians, it might seem a weird thing to get sort of worked up about this hotel, which is then kind of given special permits and was given special permission to build and get around the legal regime. I think one of the reasons for that is precisely because this is a country which remembers and or has a folk memory of, Having a regime, basically rewrote, exactly, that invokes, that idea really activates something in the national psyche. And what they're seeing now instead, or how they perceive it anyway, is they think it's the same thing, rules being rewritten all over again, but this time not for a communist, domestic communist elite, but for what they see as an oligarchical elite, which the Trump family completely personifies. And then you add on to that, as we've been talking about, general, even though the Albanian economy has grown strongly over the years, A country which, like so many European economies right now, for young people has an incredibly unaffordable housing, as we say, educated, but without the jobs commensurate with that, education. And frankly, a very deeply uncertain future with all the technological changes that we're seeing. So it feels to me, I don't know, maybe this will all just dissipate. But I think you're right, Emily. He was the bright light. I think it seems like the start of something.
