After around an hour outside the Prime Minister’s Office, lecturers and students moved the gathering toward the Ministry of Education. The move comes amid ongoing tensions over the students’ demands and accusations of violence against young people during the protest.
The march from the Prime Minister’s Office to the Ministry of Education
The protesters set off along the “Dëshmorët e Kombit” boulevard toward the Ministry of Education, continuing the day’s mobilization at another key institutional location.
Moving the protest from the Prime Minister’s Office to the ministry responsible for education makes the pressure on institutions more direct, at a time when the students’ demands remain at the center of the public confrontation.
Lecturers boycott classes in support of students
Lecturers have boycotted the teaching process to stand alongside the students and their demands.
Another reason stated by the protesters is opposition to the violence that, according to them, is being used against young people.
More protesters expected at the ministry as risk of tensions rises
Other protesters have also joined at the Ministry of Education, turning the area into the main gathering point.
Clashes between protesters and police are also usually reported there, which means the situation remains sensitive despite the peaceful character that organizers have given to the march.
Second day of the march as protest enters its ninth day
This is the second day of the peaceful march by lecturers, while the student protest has entered its ninth day.
In the tally of gatherings so far, the protest has also been accompanied by episodes of violence, an element that has further strained the climate between young people and the authorities.
The march toward the Ministry of Education once again shifts the focus to institutional responsibility for the crisis, while the situation on the ground remains tense and exposed to clashes.
Beyond the movement on the ground, the core of the issue remains unchanged: the students’ demands and the way institutions are choosing to respond to them.
