I am from Serbia, a student, and supported the movement from the start, and I hope it works, but there are a few risks

I think it's inevitable that the "leaders" will just appear from the student list, then the student list gets destroyed, those leaders form their own parties and we'll elect another radical idiot who's not from the student list

Even now a few days after winning the election, you already have people from the SL who have a "brand", and who get idolized

Also people in our country are accustomed to corruption in our country, and if the new government starts beating down the corruption, the people will start hating the new government

I think maybe a similar thing in Albania. Lots of people deep-down wanting to emulate the same power structures that oppress them. Cycles of abuse. The ones who don’t leave.
