The protest which, according to the organizers, began as opposition to the project in Sazan, was held for a 38th consecutive day in Tirana. Demonstrators first gathered in Skanderbeg Square, then marched toward the Prime Minister’s Office and concluded the rally with another march through the capital, repeating calls against the government.
The gathering again began at Skanderbeg Square
According to information from the rally, the protesters gathered, as on previous days, in Skanderbeg Square before continuing toward the Prime Minister’s Office building.
The protest, which was initially framed against the project in Sazan, has since broadened to include other objections raised by participants.
Political demands and calls against the government
During the march and while gathered outside the Prime Minister’s Office, demonstrators held banners and used megaphones to voice their demands.
Among the chants heard again this Tuesday were calls for the government’s resignation and for the creation of a technical government. Slogans heard at the protest also included: “Rama resign” and “Rama in prison, Berisha in prison.”
Appeal for unity from a protester
Protester Luçiana Kokaj also spoke during the gathering, calling on supporters of the protest to remain united and not to speak ill of people without knowing the truth.
In her remarks, she asked participants to continue the protest beyond what she described as the small divisions among them.
After hours outside the Prime Minister’s Office, protesters continued marching
After several hours in front of the Prime Minister’s Office, demonstrators began marching through Tirana.
No other developments beyond the route of the protest and the chants voiced during it are reported in the source material.
The latest gathering confirms the continuation of the protest in the capital, while political demands directed at the government remain at the center of the participants’ public message.
Beyond the slogans and the march, it remains to be seen whether this protest will produce an institutional response or will once again be treated by the government as a routine occurrence.
