Abstract: This paper will analyze the loss of legitimacy of Mjaft Movement and G99 Party when they were directed by Erion Veliaj. Based on the post- structuralist model of philosophy of language, main points that constituted the movement, discourses and different public protests, data taken by an interview of Mr. Veliaj regarding the creation of G99 as a political party, this paper aims to assess their instability. Created as a non-political movement that would identify and solve problems, MJAFT was focused more in conducting awareness campaigns and organizing symbolic protests, than in taking concrete actions on these concerns. Even its main campaign “Nano Leave†ended up in a meeting with the Prime Minister Fatos Nano and none of the 8 points of their decalogue was not mentioned during the meeting. All these premises, followed by the resignation of the leaders of the movement to create G99 Party, planted in the audience the idea that they were looking for a new strategy to make the movement more powerful, an attempt that ended up to be unsuccessful because G99 became part of the Socialist Party. As a consequence, we can say that the use of the movement for personal goals dims the protests and disappoint people who believed they could be organized together for solving their problems.

Keywords: 8 points of the movement; no party affiliation; awareness campaigns; symbolic protests; meeting Mr. Nano; G99 party; joining SP and public rhetoric. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
