National protest begins! Students rally outside Ministry of Education: Albania belongs to Albanians

Today, students began another national protest outside the Ministry of Education in Tirana. After more than 150 days of protests and resistance, the student movement has decided to intensify its campaign, adopting a new strategy of holding two national protests a week.

According to an announcement published by the organizers, the protests will take place every Wednesday and Saturday at the same time, 14:00.

The decision aims to sustain student mobilization and increase pressure on the government to meet their demands. The students’ central demand remains the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama, which they consider non-negotiable.

The organizers say that, despite months of protests, they have yet to receive the response they seek from the government.

In their statement, the students emphasize that they are prepared for a long struggle and that the new phase of organizing aims to build a more enduring and powerful movement.

Meanwhile, the boycott of classes continues.

For his part, Prime Minister Edi Rama has repeated his calls for dialogue with the protesting students, expressing his willingness to communicate.

So far, however, that offer has not changed the protesters’ position. They continue to insist that the prime minister’s resignation is their main demand.

Lecturers and citizens have also voiced support for the students, expressing solidarity with their cause.

A new strategy: two national protests a week.

In its announcement, the group “Students in Protest” said the decision to hold two national protests a week follows a long period of resistance and is intended to help students and supporters organize more effectively.

The organizers also said they will continue to support other citizen protests against the government, regardless of when or where they are held.

Today’s protest is expected to be another important moment for the student movement, though it remains to be seen how many people will attend and whether the gathering will include marches or other forms of protest.

The students have called on all young people and citizens who support their cause to join today’s protest, which begins at 14:00 outside the Ministry of Education in Tirana.
