The Albanian diaspora mobilizes in support of the protests at home. Red and black flags, banners and calls for political change in the heart of the British capital.
Hundreds of Albanians have gathered in London in an organized protest in support of the rallies that have been taking place in Albania for days. With national flags, banners and calls against the government, the Albanian diaspora has shown that it is closely following developments in the country and is showing solidarity with citizens protesting in Tirana and other cities.
Photos from the protest show a significant turnout of Albanian immigrants, who have filled the streets of the British capital with red and black colors. The banners display strong messages against mass immigration, corruption and the economic situation in Albania, while there is no shortage of political slogans that have accompanied the protests of recent days.
"Albania is not for sale," "The time has come to get out," and other anti-government messages dominated the protest, where participants demanded political change and more responsibility from Albanian institutions.
Protesters in London emphasized that leaving Albania has not detached them from the country's problems and that many of them feel compelled to react due to the continued emigration of young people, lack of perspective, and dissatisfaction with the political class.
The rally was peaceful, with participants declaring that they will continue to support the ongoing protests in Albania. Organizers said that the diaspora's reaction is growing by the day and that other cities with large Albanian communities are organizing similar activities.
The protest in London comes at a time when civic rallies in Albania have entered their seventh day, while the movement has also found support in other European countries, turning the diaspora's reaction into one of the most prominent developments of recent days.
