The massive protest in front of the Prime Minister's Office has marked its 23rd day today, with thousands of citizens once again filling the "Martyrs of the Nation" boulevard in a sign of revolt against the government of Edi Rama. Among the many speeches, the one that touched and lifted the hearts of those present was the message of a young girl, who spoke on behalf of all Albanian youth and students who are forced to leave the country.
In determined tones, the young woman addressed the head of government directly, explaining the pain of a generation that feels expelled from its country, but that has now found the courage to overcome its fear.
"The most beautiful people I have ever seen! I am not here to speak as a character, but for all youth. For all of you who have chosen to leave and study abroad because your country does not provide you with a future. Mr. Prime Minister, we are here because our hearts are filled with pain and disappointment, but also with hope, because we have a future that we do not want to lose. We have always heard that we are the future, but we are living in Albania and are facing difficulties, lack of opportunities and the fear that our dreams will remain just dreams. We have thought about leaving because we want a better life. It is difficult to love a country with all your heart and feel that it is taking you away," she said, her voice shaking from the show.
She emphasized that youth will no longer accept to remain silent in the face of scandals and injustices, calling on other peers to abandon the cafes and join the resistance.
"Today I see something stronger, I see courage and hearts that still believe; young people who do not accept silence in the face of injustice. We are not here to divide, but to demand our rights. To be heard and to say that our lives have value and our voices will rise even louder if you remain silent. One day, when we remember this moment here, we will remember how tired, but also how united we were. We will not remember fear, but the courage that we did not give up! This is the voice of a generation that still hopes and believes that change is possible. Let us not lose hope, get up from the coffee and join us! Youth is the future of this country, Prime Minister, you are finished!", concluded her new speech.
