The 19th consecutive protest has begun in Tirana, where thousands of citizens, after gathering in Skanderbeg Square, marched towards parliament where they ambushed MPs and issued calls against them, then stationed themselves at the Prime Minister's Office.
Citizens are demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama and the removal of his government, while criticism of the opposition is also expressed during the rally.
One of the slogans that has become part of the protests is "The opposition is us," expressing the protesters' rejection of the old political parties and the demand for new civic representation.
Protesters have also warned of messages against the entire old political class, emphasizing that responsibility for the current situation is not attributed only to the majority, but also to the opposition.
Due to the high temperatures that have engulfed the country, organizers have decided that the protests will start at 19:00 PM, so that citizens can participate in more favorable conditions.
The protest held the day before was also characterized by high participation, with a large number of citizens filling the square and marching in the center of Tirana, continuing the series of daily rallies against the government and the political establishment.
