The 105th protest against the government and the political class was held in Tirana this Saturday, a continuation that shows dissatisfaction with those in power has not faded. Albanians from the diaspora also joined the rally, while the central demand remained the same: the government’s resignation.
The rally began in Skanderbeg Square
Protesters initially gathered in Skanderbeg Square, turning the center of the capital into the latest focal point of mobilization against the executive and the political elite.
The group of protesters then set off on a march toward the Prime Minister’s Office, where political chants and public messages against the government’s rule were concentrated.
The diaspora joined the protest in the capital
Albanians from the diaspora also took part in Saturday’s rally, having come to Tirana to join the protest.
Their participation gave the protest additional symbolic weight, expanding the message beyond the country’s borders and turning the discontent into a broader political signal.
Main call: the government must go
The dominant message from protesters remained the demand for Prime Minister Edi Rama to resign.
Placards and chants voiced during the march repeated strong positions against the government and the entire political class, showing that participants’ anger is not limited to a single name or office.
The 105th protest once again puts the strained relationship between protesting citizens and political institutions at the center of attention.
At its core, the message from the street was direct: dissatisfaction with governance and political representation remains open and public.
