So, for your particular breed of lazy democrats, preventing parliamentarians from entering the opening session of Parliament is “dissent”?

Perhaps it looks that way from the comfort of your keyboard. But not to your Albanian colleagues, from right to left, who were forced to run a gauntlet of verbal abuse and physical violence, with eggs and even stones thrown at them, merely to reach their workplace.

Are you not ashamed to endorse such despicable behaviour and sell it as democratic dissent? Apparently not.

By the way, watch how an honourable Member of Parliament, a respected academic and a widely known advocate for women’s rights, is abused by your role models of “dissent” while merely trying to reach her workplace.

And this was not even the worst of what your Albanian colleagues had to endure yesterday.

Anything to say about this particular form of “dissent” from your lofty democratic pulpit? Or does your concern for democracy end where inconvenient facts begin?

And please, give Albania a break and do not drag Albania into your digital swamp. Albania is a genuinely free country and much more democratic then your narrow minded politics. It does not deserve to become chewing gum in the mediocre mouths of people who trade facts for cheap political engagement🤡
