Mother Liza, known as a symbol of the resistance of the residents of “5 Maji,” also joined today’s protest.
She said she had joined the gathering because she wants Prime Minister Edi Rama to resign as soon as possible, accusing him of forcibly removing citizens from their homes in the middle of winter.

The elderly woman, now active in public causes, also said that neither wages nor pensions have increased. In her remarks, she challenged Rama by saying that Albanians are not sheep, as she claims he has labeled them, but men.
“I decided to join because he must go as soon as possible, but he will not leave just because people say ‘Rama go away’; he needs to be driven out by force, just as he drove us out of our homes by force. They dragged me along the ground, 1,500 police officers surrounded my house, and they threw my children in prison.
No pension increase, no wage increase, he threw people out of their homes in the middle of winter.
I have no money and no home, we have changed rented houses four times. He raised pensions by only 2,000 lek, he only knows how to lie, because he has money to support the whole world, let alone Albania.
He called us sheep, who are the sheep?
A real man comes out before the people, he does not hide.
We got a house, shame on them, and there is nothing inside. This protest should end only when Edi Rama leaves,” she said.
