A second-year student at the Economic High School (for the sake of privacy, we'll call him K.) was telling loudly how a teacher at his school had called his mother to inform her that he hadn't gone to school that day.

He was extremely angry. With his face covered simply with a scarf around his mouth and a hood on his head, he was holding two stones in his hand that looked like pieces torn off the sidewalks near the Ministry of Education.

"They've never listened to us. What do we have to do to make them listen to us? I understand that I have no future! I'm tired of everyone."

Like him, there were many others at the protest. Young people who were not afraid to face the police.

Someone, without hesitation, shouts as he is doused by the police's pressurized water: "We are not the opposition, we are the students! We want our rights!".

They don't like the fact that, that morning, the prime minister had addressed them as people incited by the opposition, although, in fact, he was referring to the people who had destroyed public property and not all the protesters.

But it seems they don't like something else either: Flamingos!

Arben Kola appears on the horizon, with a flag in his hand. He is one of the organizers of the protest that has lasted more than 130 days in front of the Prime Minister's Office. He is also left alone by the students. Almost no one joins his calls to get closer to the Police, in front of the Ministry of Education.

Some say this protest is an extension of the Flamingo protests. But you only have to take to the streets to realize that this is not reflected in much of the discourse of the young people protesting.

A video that went viral on the evening of October 15 shows a girl who, through tears, explains to the Police that they can no longer find another way to be heard. That same girl, on the most watched late-night television shows, is waiting for a "moral" about what she should not do in this protest and how she should behave.

While she receives moral lessons on screen, dozens of students confront the Police on the streets of Tirana. Some are escorted, others are arrested, while there are also images of young people being forcibly taken away by unmarked vehicles and by unidentified civilians.

On the other hand, the opposition appears to be "defending the cause", but at the same time deals with accusations against different factions, trying to determine who represents the right cause and who does not.

This is the problem that the government fails to understand in today's youth. And it's not just about the governing power. Not just about politics. Not just about the Police. Not even about the so-called "Flamingos". It's about every power, including the media.

All the violence is disturbing, really. The vandalism is disturbing.

But the cry that young people are making today is not the cry of vandals. It is the cry of those who have grown up voiceless, haunted by the invisible shadow of a very visible power that seeks to put its hand over their mouths to force them to silence.

There is a fundamental, radical difference between this generation and the previous one.

While millennials chose to flee, often without being heard, Gen Z seems to have entered another phase: that of liberation from the self-complex in the face of power. It no longer simply seeks a way out. It seeks to be heard.

And if the government doesn't understand that the solution is not to accuse young people of their protests, to beat them without accountability and control through the Police, not to listen to them and, above all, to try to silence them, then it has understood nothing from the story of a protest that lasted 130 days in peace and that, in the last four days, has turned into a violent protest.

Someone should tell him!
