Activist Ardesjan Binjakaj, invited to the News 24 lunch program, listed the five reasons why he has been protesting for 48 days. He said that he was born in Italy and has always felt like a foreigner, so he protests so that others do not feel this way.

Binjakaj said that even those who have left the country have done so for a better life.

"This is a new spirit that has not been seen before, a new spirit in Albania.
What keeps them alive is the strong hope of getting what they deserve, the basic rights and dignity that have been stolen from them.
I left Albania to study in the US to receive the teaching that I cannot get in Albania, not because the country does not produce good teachers, but because it expels them because it does not give them the merit and conditions for further success.
I have some personal reasons why I protest: So that I don't feel like a stranger in my own country, I was born in Rimini, Italy, then I grew up here, and then I left for the US. I have always felt like a stranger, I am protesting so that other people don't feel what I felt and have a place to call home.
I think the average Albanian cannot express their opinion and I also fight for them, but they are in the square with their spirit.
To my knowledge, some local protests have been organized in Rimini, but I don't think there is a continent left where protests haven't taken place.
I am convinced that 90% left for a better life.
The diaspora has been extraordinarily supportive, even with coordination on social media, inspiring Albanians with their presence here.
"Internationals provide support for legitimate causes and we have shown that we are Western citizens because the protest is civil and peaceful," he said.
