PM Edi Rama put out a bunch of fake red velvet chairs with signs saying "dialogue" for the international press...as if he hadn't ignored peaceful protest for 135 days before things escalated.

Yesterday, some protestors broke the chairs.

The infrastructure problems in Tirana remain, but he used public employee time to instead carry some concrete aggregate bollards up to where the chairs had been and put "dialogue" signs on those. Most cycle lanes in Tirana still not protected from drivers, but bollards as a stunt, though...

Dje studentët ia hodhën karriget në derën e Kryeministrisë, Rama ndërron strategji, u kërkon...

"Yesterday, students threw their chairs at the door of the Prime Minister's Office; Rama changes strategy and asks them..."

Day 145 of anti-corruption protest in Tirana

Oh, it gets better... so Rama put those bollards out to replace the chairs, to pretend he wants dialogue even though he ignored the protest for the 135 days it was unarguably peaceful, before frustrated high school kids escalated things...

He has stationed police and barricade fences along all approaches to Parliament...where the "dialogue bollards" are.

Revolta studentore, protesta zhvendoset para Kuvendit! Ja masat e marra nga policia

"Student uprising: protest moves to the front of the Assembly! Here are the measures taken by the police"
