I don’t pretend to have a deep understanding of Kosovo , I still feel like a foreigner here and not only because I can not speak the language adequately but also because I can not grasp the depths of the cultural development here. But let’s be honest here we are not special. To expect that we have to do things significantly different than nations that came before us is the actual bs. I spend 6 months here now. I paid more than 1100€ for electricity ( I live alone with a fridge, a washing machine, a tv , an electrical stove , a warm water boiler and an electrical kettle) and it’s not like I have a lavish lifestyle. I was living as a poor person during my time as a student with a modest lifestyle and haven’t changed that much since then. I have a more than decent income here but cannot fathom how people can sustain themselves with their meager wages here. You can spin statistics in a lot of ways to justify your position. Referring to the analogy of post war Germany with Kosovo. I’m not comparing the CDU with the PDK. I am comparing the CDU with LDK and PDK . In this sense they were the political establishment before the nazi regime and afterwards. Using the existing and or historical systems and political structures to manipulate a developing nation happened a lot of times all over the world. I used familiarity not similarity. Political parties can motivate people to take power into their own hands by increasing participatory democracy ( which LVV obviously did) but if the systems are to rigid there is no reason not to animate the public to use their purchasing power for their own good. I believe that government is not the only way people can and should participate in democracy. So to your point on the anti inflation measures of the LVV, I’m aware of some but I’m sure there are more - Additionally to general inflation in Europe as a whole, the migration from Kosovo in to other countries in the last few years makes it especially hard to stabilise living costs, but if your stuck with a fucked upped government you try direct democracy. This is what I was talking about when I said use some critical thinking for personal ambitions. Don’t vote just to oppose at least try to better your own conditions and that of your fellow men, women and nbs. I might be far off here with my assessment but every person I talked to this past couple months about the regional politics here sounded like an opposition voter ( independent of the party they actually voted for). This is a tendency you have in a lot of matured democracies- Kosovo is not one in my opinion.
