In their statements, their tone has grown sharper as they call on citizens, as well as students, to join them in the square.
They warn that “we will not stop until this old political class is gone.” The protesters will be in front of Parliament at every session until Edi Rama and his government resign.
Activist Sidorela Vatnikaj called for the release of the protesters arrested two days ago during tensions outside the Prime Minister’s Office. She stressed that the police assault showed the way Edi Rama has governed over the years.
According to her, the prime minister is using the state police as a “police of power” to act against citizens who protest.
However, she added that their intimidation would not stop them and that they would be in the square every day until Rama resigns as prime minister. “Fourteen protesters have been unjustly held in prison for two nights.
Their arrest shows the way Edi Rama and his government have governed throughout all these terms, despite boasting that he is the most democratic, controversial prime minister. He has used the state police as a police of power, which has arrested citizens on political orders, violating every rule in an effort to push us back, frighten us and intimidate us. They still have not understood that their intimidation does not scare us, but increases our anger and resistance and makes us return here to tell the police of power: arrest Rama,” she stressed.
The activist said that today they would gather outside the Criminal Court, where the arrested protesters will appear for a decision on their security measure.
