53rd Day of Revolt Against Government, Citizens Again in the Square for PM Rama’s Removal

In Tirana, the popular movement against the executive continues today with the 53rd consecutive gathering, where the central demand remains the immediate resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama and the toppling of the government cabinet.

As usual, the gathering will start around 19:00 at Skanderbeg Square, followed by a march that will end in front of the Prime Minister’s Office building.

The protest organizers have called on the population for the broadest possible participation, warning that the mobilization will not stop for a single day until the demands are met.

For 52 days without interruption, a large influx of citizens has poured into the capital to voice opposition to a wide range of issues that, according to them, harm the common good.

At the forefront of concerns are the Zvërnec project, legislation on strategic investors, the so-called Mountain Package, as well as amendments affecting protected areas and cultural heritage.

Throughout these gatherings, harsh slogans against the government and the entire political spectrum have not been lacking, as participants have insisted on a radical reform of the political and institutional system.

Meanwhile, another symbolic demonstration has been announced for Thursday in front of Parliament, precisely on the day of the final plenary session for this legislative session.
