1. LDK will NEVER get the amount of support in the coming elections. 90% of those who voted for them voted AGAINST PDK but in the end they accepted a coalition with PDK. So many of their voters will go to one of the opposition parties and I think it'll mainly be VV. Also quite a few polls show a massive rise for VV and place them as the second force only a few percent behind PDK. Here's a phone poll from a few days ago: https://www.facebook.com/vetevendosje/v ... 975722000/vata10 wrote:The stubbornness of Albanians, locked votes of PDK and LDK which are above 40%.
I actually think Vv's support has dropped and is lower than it was when they were just a movement.
And scenes like this scare the crap out of normal people https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zvfg0qSu0Nw
- Now I know that this video doesn't prove anything and that it might not be representative of a wider picture, but I'm almost certain, that it's a sign of a massive surge for VV. Even the host is surprised. But I repeat, there's nothing conclusive because of a single video. I'm just saying that it's a positive sign.
2. I think you are right. And I think a big part of the reason for that is, that back then they weren't a direct danger for those in power, as they weren't represented in parliament and didn't endanger their positions. They were a movement outside of the institutions. Once they ran for office they became an enemy endangering these corrupt fuckers positions and they underwent a very harsh hate campaign from all sides + people had no incentive to vote for them, because the party in power had already "clientelized" those who had jobs. But there are many explanations.
3. I understand what you're saying, but VV is a peaceful movement. They damage property, but they do not attack people. That's also what you can see in the video, you've posted. Dardan Molliqaj stops the mob from attacking the car while there's a driver (also a criminal from the government) in it. He tells him to take his stuff and then helps him out, so he's not endangered when the mob demolish the car. In every protest there will be a small group of people who can't stop themselves and result to violent actions. Other times it's people paid by the government to ruin a peaceful protest who start shit. Before there was a lot of focus on these things, but it's as if the people of Kosova have begun to see past this and understand that a very small number of violent - primarily - youths can't ruin a strong message sent by tens of thousands protesting in the streets.
