Citizens demand Rama’s resignation / 55 days of revolt! Violence and arrests fail to stop the revolt

Citizens will gather again this evening on “Dëshmorët e Kombit” Boulevard, on the 55th day of the anti-government protest, reiterating that they will not stop until, according to them, the “overthrow of this political caste.”

Organizers have called on citizens from across the country to join the protest, declaring that pressure on the government will continue every day until their political objectives are achieved.

They accuse the government of corruption, state capture, and disregard for citizens’ demands.

A day earlier, in the morning, the protest moved to the Parliament building, where there were strong tensions with police forces. Protesters pelted the vehicles transporting MPs with eggs, while officers intervened using tear gas and pepper spray to disperse the crowd and create a corridor for parliamentarians to enter and exit.

During the incidents, there were also physical clashes, and some protesters were taken into custody by police.

In the evening, the protest continued in front of the Prime Minister’s Office, after which citizens marched through the streets of Tirana, continuously chanting “Rama, resign,” “Rama to prison, Berisha to prison,” “New Albania” and “Revolution.”

Organizers declared that the protest is no longer just against the government, but against the entire political class which, according to them, has held the country hostage for years.

Even today, a considerable turnout is expected at the next gathering, while organizers have reiterated that the protests will continue without interruption until the government’s removal and, according to them, the beginning of a new political change in the country.
