The 31st day of the citizen revolt demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama and the removal of his government has come to an end.
From 10:00 AM until late in the evening, the protest turned into a 12-hour marathon, which targeted not only the government, but also the opposition.
The day began in front of the Albanian Parliament, where the most violent clashes with the police took place. Some protesters were escorted to the police station, while the images of citizens being dragged became one of the most commented moments of the protest.
After the incidents, the crowd moved in front of Police Station No. 1, where they awaited the release of those escorted. Upon their exit, the protesters greeted them with applause and cheers, describing the police reaction as an attempt to intimidate the movement.
In the afternoon, the protest returned to the Prime Minister's Office, where organizers and citizens delivered harsh speeches.
After more than two hours of speeches, the citizens began their nightly march. The first stop was again in front of the Parliament, where the incidents had been recorded in the morning. For several minutes, the crowd chanted “Shame, shame!” and
"Crime police!", referring to the intervention of law enforcement.
The march then continued near the headquarters of the Democratic Party, where chants of "SP-PD, communist puppies", "Rama in prison, Berisha in prison", "Albania of the youth, not of the party", "Albania of Albanians, death to traitors" and "Fake opposition" were heard.
The evening ended where the afternoon rally began, in front of the Prime Minister's Office. With red and black flags in their hands and chants of "Rama go away," "Rama resign," "New Albania," and "Your end has come," the protesters concluded another day of mobilization.
The organizers have announced that the next action will take place tomorrow at 10:00 in front of the Special Prosecution Office (SPAK), where they have announced that they will hand over the book "The Albanian Files", signed by the protesters, which they consider as evidence for the charges they intend to file.
