Albania's political crises are institutional and social. The battle to save the National Theatre has become symbolic of these wider problems.
“The battle to save the National Theatre of Albania has become symbolic of the social ills in Albania,” Robert Budina toldBudina is an independent film director who has more than 20 years’ experience writing plays and producing films. He’s now fighting to save the historic Albanian National Theatre from being demolished by the government.
“The National Theatre is a focal point for meetings between people, an open public space and the government's plans threaten this space,” says Budina who is also one of the spokesmen for the Alliance for National Theatre, a civil society organisation seeking to preserve the status of the building.
“The government actions are unconstitutional,” said Budina. “And if this theft of land was to take place then after this then who knows what’s next.” The opposition, however, has found it challenging to muster the necessary popular momentum to bring the government to the negotiating table and there are good reasons for this.
“The opposition has problems of distrust or doubt with it because in general people's trust in politics has been damaged,” said Vokshi, a member of National Advisory Council for the Democratic Party, talking toIncreasingly, politics is seen less as “a tool for solving social problems”, said Vokshi, adding: “The Albanian opposition led by the Democratic Party must pass some tests, be humble and give strong evidence that she views politics as a tool for solving problems.
The protests provided a wakeup call to the Albanian political class that the young will not tolerate the status quo forever.
