The 18th protest has begun, with citizens demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama and the removal of his government.

The change in schedule was made due to the high temperatures that have swept the country. Although 17 days have passed since the start of the protests, the participation was extremely massive yesterday evening, with protesters gathering in front of the Prime Minister's Office building, continuing the uninterrupted mobilization of recent weeks. For 17 days in a row, citizens have protested in Tirana, expressing their dissatisfaction and demanding political changes.

As in previous rallies, this evening, after standing for several hours in front of the Prime Minister's Office, the protesters are expected to march through the main streets of the capital, conveying their messages and demands.

The protesters emphasize that they will continue their mobilization until their main demand is met: the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama and the government.
