Most of what I wrote and shared in this period ran through Partia e Fortë’s satire, a joke platform that promised everything and meant none of it. This was not that. In July 2013, alongside the ratified Kosovo–Serbia agreements, a bill for amnesty was headed toward approval, and I wrote a petition against it and put my name on it directly, no character, no bit.
The petition read:
I oppose the passage of the Law on Amnesty.
As a citizen of the Republic of Kosovo, I oppose it and call on you not to vote for the Law on Amnesty. This law goes against justice, equality, and my fundamental rights as a citizen.
I posted it with a direct link for others to sign alongside me, no framing needed beyond the text itself.
I don’t have the final signature count from this one the way I do for the Google Doodle petition a year earlier, and I’m not going to reconstruct the legislative back-and-forth from memory a decade later. What’s worth keeping on record is simpler: the same account that spent most weeks writing jokes about a party that promised to change nothing spent this week asking, plainly, for something specific not to pass. Satire was the method most of the time because it traveled further than a straight argument did. It was never the only method I had.
