After Erion Velija's last performance, those who suffered most emotionally from the attacks against Robert Ndrenika were more or less those who are suffering...
When Sali Berisha was declared “non grata” in 2021, many considered it the end of his political career. But he chose not to retreat. For five years, he fought against political isolation and the idea that his fate was sealed. If today his status is lifted, the question is no longer whether Berisha can return. The question is whether the Democratic Party and Albanian politics are ready for the post-Berisha era.
Enea today has become something greater than himself. He has become a symbol, living proof that service to one's homeland and people has a price, and that there are men and women who are ready to pay that price.
Arben Kola, tourist guide, environmental activist and one of the organizers of the Flamingo Revolution, has become one of the most prominent figures of civic engagement, linking the cause of nature protection with the demand for a more democratic and just Albania.
Meanwhile, Albania hosts millions of tourists a year, who spend much more on small businesses, such as bars, restaurants, stalls, fast-food, rentals, taxis, markets and guides.

He desperately needs Iran. Everything, just to throw it at him this time and continue to stay there. And to see that pink book on Albania through to the end, to turn this country into a big house with architects and lobbyists in the living room, oligarchs and investors in the dining room, and a big money laundering machine in the basement.
The protest in Zvërnec highlighted a deep-seated problem of the Albanian media: the lack of reporting on events of high public interest.

According to him, the media risks losing its public role when it chooses not to report reality.
