For many of the participants, the protest has become a reaction to corruption, misgovernment, the exodus of young people from the country, the lack of trust in institutions, and the protracted political transition that has dominated Albania for more than three decades.
The "Flamingo Revolution" has entered its 11th day. Citizens gathered at Skanderbeg Square, from where they then began marching towards the Prime Minister's Office.
After 11 consecutive days on the streets of Tirana, the mobilization does not lose momentum. As in previous evenings, slogans that have now become symbols of the protest have begun to be heard in the square, while red and black flags dominate the crowd.
" Rama is gone" , " We want justice ", " The homeland is not for sale" , " New Albania ", " Join us " and " Edi Rama is finished ".
The eleventh day comes after a marathon march the night before, where thousands of citizens stood for hours on the streets of Tirana, passing from the boulevard towards the University Corps area and then returning to the city center.
What is striking these days is the fact that the protest has long since transcended the cause that initially ignited it. In the streets of Tirana, cries are heard not only against the government, but also against the political class as a whole, reflecting a broader dissatisfaction that goes beyond a single issue.
For many of the participants, the protest has become a reaction to corruption, misgovernment, the exodus of young people from the country, the lack of trust in institutions, and the protracted political transition that has dominated Albania for more than three decades.
The protests have been covered by international media, while Prime Minister Edi Rama himself has entered into public debates regarding the events.
