Citizen Revolt/Agron Shehaj: Rama is shutting down pages supporting the protest, the prime minister aims to silence critical voices

The leader of the Mundësia Party, Agron Shehaj, has denounced the shutdown of several pages on the social network Instagram that had been actively supporting the protest, which has continued uninterrupted for 87 days.

Shehaj says that the Albanian government is behind this campaign against pages amplifying the protest and that, according to him, it is spending thousands of euros to silence anyone with influence over the mobilization and informing of citizens.

In a video posted on social media, Shehaj speaks with one of the protesters, who explains that his page, with around 50,000 followers and nearly 50 million views in a single month, was shut down by people who had been paid to do so.

The protester claims that the person who shut down his page admitted to him that he had been paid for the intervention. He also provided screenshots of the conversation.

“Our government has paid between USD 2,000 and USD 10,000 to block our page on Instagram and silence us, so that the protest will die down,” the citizen declared.

“Imagine how much they have spent on all the other pages they have shut down,” Shehaj said.

The leader of the Mundësia Party described this as an attempt by the government to silence critical voices and weaken the protest.

“Only a corrupt autocrat whose true colors have been exposed could do this,” Shehaj declared, adding that despite these efforts, the protest would continue.

“The protest continues and will continue until Edi Rama resigns,” Shehaj concluded.
