For several days, a new wave of protests has begun, taking the defense of the Zvërnec area as a pretext. But what is emerging on the ground shows another reality, where critical media are being attacked and genuine pressure schemes are being used.

Currently, the media landscape is divided in reporting this news. Some media are pro-protest and pro-investment, but demanding that the protests remain political and not be used for other purposes. Other media are on the side of Edi Rama, supporting the investment and coming out against the protest. There are also those that take a stance against the prime minister, but at the same time are against the protest and pro-development. While another part positions itself against everyone: Rama, the protest and the investment itself.

However, beyond editorial stances, protesters have begun open provocations. They are going to the headquarters of political parties, violating the law and creating unnecessary tensions. The question that naturally arises is who is making these calls and who is hiding behind this organization.

According to ongoing reports by CNA , the front line of this movement are precisely the influencers who support the arrested mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj. It is no coincidence that the municipality staff, people close to Veliaj, as well as the influencers paid by him and his brother, Arbër Veliaj, are today the main supporters on the ground. Part of this scenario is also the psychological violence that is being exerted on actors or well-known public figures, who are blackmailed into participating in these rallies.

Even more telling is the fact that this group of protesters has also been joined by well-known figures from justice scandals. VIP escorts have suddenly become part of the protest. These are precisely the VIP escorts who emerged in the SPAK investigations, which were mentioned for illegal meetings with "strongmen" in prisons.

In this protest, such characters, whose initials are documented in the justice files for entering and leaving the cell, have found space and are being used as images. Among them are RR, AD, FH, SB, IA, E.Dh., I.Xh., as well as Xh.L. and JK. To maintain professional ethics, CNA has chosen to publish these characters only with initials and without photos, despite the fact that some of them have reacted or have participated in the protest.

The inclusion of these names in a supposedly environmental protest clearly shows the true essence of this organization and the interests of those who finance and support it for other political and criminal interests. /CNA
