One of the activists stressed that this protest has already won the battle of numbers and has demonstrated endurance.

He added that Rama and the government are being worn down more and more each day, which, according to him, is clearly reflected in their posts on social media.

Activist: Do not fall into the trap of those who want to reduce the protest to a competition of numbers. We have won this confrontation, because we have organized the largest protests this country has ever seen. If anyone thinks there is a gathering larger in numbers than this one, let them show it. This is a battle of endurance. It is resistance, because our persistence here for 41 days is wearing them down day by day. They are in a continuous process of erosion. Just look at their daily posts on social media, they are messages of panic, they are the posts of someone whose back is against the wall. I want to say that those who promise Europe, while not bringing Europe, accuse us of being agents of Iran, but in fact are behaving like Iran. You have seen that they have set up a virtual morality police, led by Taulant Balla, who comes out and explains to us how a protester should behave. Can an incriminated government lecture us on morality? This prime minister starts his morning by publishing digital travel permits. We must remove this communist mentality that has led us for more than 36 years.

He says ironically that he supports these protests because he is paid by Putin, by Iran’s ayatollahs, by the Muslim Brotherhood, and even a little by the Greek. According to him, he had also tried to secure a few lek.

Two vehicles were involved in the crash, and both drivers were injured by the strong impact. They were urgently taken to the Fier Regional Hospital, where they are receiving the necessary medical assistance.

Immediately after the incident, police officers and the investigative team arrived at the accident scene, where they are working to clarify the causes of the collision and restore normal traffic flow.

This road segment is considered a problematic spot for accidents, especially during the summer season, when the number of vehicles traveling on it is higher.

Because the drama is not only on the coast. It is not only about the flamingos, the lagoon, the luxury resorts or the iron fences. The drama is also in Tirana, in the heart of an area that was once sold as peace, greenery and clean air, but is now turning into an endless construction site. Dry Lake is not drying up from a lack of water, but from an excess of concrete. It is being suffocated every day by trucks, dust, noise, heavy machinery and permits that come down from above like orders to destroy even the little nature the capital has left.

Residents are not complaining about one more apartment block or one less. They are complaining about a way of governing. They are complaining that the roads are blocked by heavy-duty vehicles, that children can no longer go outside as they used to, that windows cannot be opened because of the dust, that the peace they invested in has been replaced by the noise of cranes. So the problem is not simply urban planning. It is social, economic, environmental and political.

In the olive-covered hills near Dry Lake, as Albeu.com has learned, excavation of the hillside has begun for the “Centaurea” project by the company “Bega-07” sh.p.k., owned by businessman Arben Muçobega.

This is a major construction project with 15 buildings of up to 9 floors, on an area of about 31,000 square meters of land and with nearly 94,000 square meters of construction above and below ground. This is not “development integrated with nature,” as marketing brochures usually package it. This is the classic formula of Albanian concretization: first you call the area green, then you advertise it as luxury, and in the end you hand it over to concrete.

This is where the greatest hypocrisy lies. For every such project, there is always a beautiful vocabulary: “harmony with nature,” “green lifestyle,” “new urban landscape,” “European standard.” But when the olive trees are removed, when the hills are flattened, when the landscape is destroyed and when residents live amid dust and without parking spaces, there is no marketing language left that can cover up the truth. The truth is that Tirana is losing its lungs, neighborhood by neighborhood, hill by hill, lake by lake.

Zvërnec shocked us because we saw violence in a brutal way: a citizen being dragged along the ground, private guards, fences, spray, a state appearing powerless in the face of private interests. But at Dry Lake the violence is quieter. It does not come with punches, but with permits. It does not drag people along the ground in front of cameras, but drags their lives through traffic, dust and noise every morning. It does not use pepper spray, but uses concrete as a weapon against the city.

And that is exactly what makes it more dangerous. Because when violence is visible, the citizen reacts. When violence comes with documents, decisions, signatures, 3D projects and luxury advertising, society often remains silent. This silence is our biggest problem. We are outraged when we see a body being dragged along the ground, but we do not react when an entire neighborhood is dragged toward concrete.

Dry Lake is the mirror of a Tirana that is being built without ideas, without soul, without infrastructure and without mercy for the citizen. Apartment blocks are built, but not schools. Luxury apartments are sold, but quality of life is not guaranteed. Construction sites are opened, but the community is not asked. Property prices rise, but the value of living falls. In the end, the citizen is left surrounded by walls, while those in power boast of development.

That is why Albanians have even more reason to protest, because it is not only Zvërnec. The same mentality that surrounds Zvërnec with fences is flattening the olive-covered hills at Dry Lake. The same government that talks about elite tourism on the coast talks about green residences built on concrete in Tirana. The same system that sees nature as merchandise sees the citizen as an obstacle.

Unfortunately, the years-long silence over unchecked construction in Tirana brought us the Zvërnec scandal. And today, you are protesting for Zvërnec, but turn your head toward Dry Lake as well. Because there, in silence, the same story is unfolding: Albania is being covered in concrete with permits, advertising and institutional smiles. And when a city loses its greenery, it does not lose only nature. It loses reason, breath and the future. /albeu.com/

Through the messages written on them, citizens chose to express their positions and criticisms toward the government, politics, and the justice institutions.

Among the placards displayed during the protest were the calls: “SPAK, arrest Balluku” and “From the chair to the cell: time for”.

The Embassy’s position was conveyed through one of its officials, after the protester not only claimed that he had received threatening phone calls and messages in the name of the US Embassy in Tirana, but also publicly addressed the institution with the words: “Is this how you treat Albanian youth? Shame.”

His public appeal to the US Embassy further implied the claim that the source of the alleged threats was the headquarters of the American diplomatic mission in Tirana.

During his speech at the gathering, the protester said: “A few hours ago I received some anonymous threatening messages and phone calls. I believe many others have as well; I am not the only one who has received them. Threatening messages because of my peaceful protest for this people. But today I do not come with private messages. I am delivering a public message. We will stay here, we will protest here, until our demands are met. And one last thing, the messages claimed they were from the American Embassy. Let me ask the American Embassy a question: Is this how you treat Albanian youth? With threats? With intimidation?”

These statements were then followed by a response from the US Embassy itself.
