A young participant in the 100th national protest in Tirana expressed optimism about the continuation of the civic movement, stating that today's rally could mark a turning point.
He said he expects the protest to gather an even larger number of citizens, while describing the atmosphere created today as special. "I am happy today, because I feel that this protest will go to another level. It will gather more Albanians than it did on the day when there was a maximum of protesters," said the young man. According to him, after 100 days of resistance, the civic movement has reached a new moment and can spread throughout the country.
"The summer is sleepy, the resistance has tired us, but I don't know why today there is an extraordinary air, an extraordinary magic. After today, this hearth of protesters will circulate in every country of Albania, to rekindle the national protest," he said. The young man stressed that it is difficult to predict where the protest will lead, but according to him, the 100 days of action have served as an awareness process for citizens.
"Only Albanians know what will happen with this protest. This protest has taught us lessons. We are more mature, more responsible, clearer about what is coming to our beloved Albania," he declared.
