(7 years ago)After increasing the price of car insurance by 36%, Periscope yesterday conducted a survey with its readers on the issue, and the result gives hope that things are taking a positive course in our society as well.

In many parts of the world, numerous and violent protests are currently under way, most of which began from topics that one might ignore earlier.
There are remarkable protests in Chile, Lebanon, Hong Kong, and Barcelona. The character of all these protests is economic, even though there may be little opposition to Barcelona and Hong Kong.
Protests in Santiago [Cil] began due to the rise in the price of subway tickets. Protests in Beirut began when the government was planning to raise taxes on oil, tobacco and online phone calls like WhatsApp. In Hong Kong we had the subject of extradition that revolted against Hang-Kongs who no longer wanted to be under the regime of China. As the new protests began in Barcelona when nine Catalan separatist leaders were sentenced, but the deep root of the problem lies precisely in the demand for independence, which is based on the unfair distribution [like] of Spain's budget.
And it seems that protests in Kosovo are emerging from nationalist darkness. So far, any major protest in the country has had a deeply nationalist character, but it seems to be coming to an end.
After reporting that over 300 thousand Kosovars were not secured, and that insurance companies were on the brink of bankruptcy, the Kosovo Central Bank decided to raise the insurance price by 36 percent.
This will drastically increase the price for registering and securing a car. Periscope yesterday posed the question that “should protest on this issue?” and the answer is massive and sensational.
In the options placed, 85 percent or over 33,000 people voted for “Yes, we are touched by the wallet”, while only 15 percent voted, or 640 people for “no, deserve the price”. In the comment session, meanwhile, we had an extraordinary expression of rage and perseverance to protest this issue affecting all Kosovars, regardless of their economic level.
Whether protests on such a thing will be staged in the coming days remains to be seen. But it is clear, however, that Kosovars, the poorest people in Europe, are now turning their attention to the real problems that concern them. /Periscope
