The Albanian living in Italy spoke at the 43rd day rally, expressing support for the protesters and addressing the prime minister with a political message.
A young Albanian woman living in Italy spoke at the 43rd protest in front of the Prime Minister's Office, where she expressed her support for citizens participating in the rallies and said that she had joined the protest for three days.
During her speech, she expressed that she represents the voice of many Albanians in the diaspora, who, according to her, continue to follow developments in the country with concern.
"Today is only the third day that I have come to protest with thousands of sisters and brothers. I am part of the diaspora that has been screaming for 36 years: 'When will this Albania be?'. Running around the world to survive is difficult, but how much courage does it take to stay here to protect your land?" she declared.
At the end of her speech, the young woman addressed Prime Minister Edi Rama with a call for his resignation.
"Rama, resign! Karma is a b*tch and it is bigger than Edi Rama!" , she said to the protesters.
The protest in front of the Prime Minister's Office has entered its 43rd day, while organizers have stated that the rallies will continue in the coming days. As of the time of publication of this news, there has been no new official reaction from the government regarding the statements made during the protest.
Sot mbahet dita e 43-të e protestës qytetare. Një qytetare e ardhur nga Italia mbajti një fjalim përpara Kryeministrisë, ku ngriti akuza ndaj klasës politike lidhur me trajtimin e ish-pronarëve dhe të përndjekurve politikë.
Ajo tha se është pjesë e një familjeje të persekutuar dhe se, megjithëse ka ndërtuar jetën në Itali, vijon të ndjekë zhvillimet në Shqipëri. Sipas saj, familja e saj endet prej rreth 30 vitesh në procese gjyqësore për çështjet e pronës. Protestuesja akuzoi ish-kryeministrin Sali Berisha se nuk mbajti premtimet ndaj ish-pronarëve dhe të përndjekurve, ndërsa kritikoi edhe qeverinë e drejtuar nga Edi Rama, duke e cilësuar sistemin aktual si të korruptuar.
Në fund të fjalës së saj, ajo shprehu pakënaqësi edhe për mënyrën se si, sipas saj, kryeministri sillet me qytetarët. Protestuesja deklaroi se nuk kërkon burgosjen e Ramës dhe Berishës, por sekuestrimin e të gjitha pasurive të tyre.
“Vij nga Italia. U largova dhe ndërtova jetën time në Itali. Zemrën e kam këtu si gjithë shqiptarët. Vij nga një familje e persekutuar. Kjo qeveri është e korruptuar. Berisha gënjeu të gjithë të persekutuarit dhe ish-pronarët dhe nuk u dha pasuritë e veta. Kemi 30 vite nëpër gjyqe që nga Berisha dhe tani me sistemin më të korruptuar të Edi Ramës. Një kryeministër që merret me njerëzit personalisht, çfarë mund të presim nga këta? Unë nuk dua t’i shoh në burg Ramën dhe Berishën, por të merren zvarrë dhe t’u merren gjithë pasuritë. T’u sekuestrohen gjithë pasuritë!”, tha ajo.
Teacher Lush Susaj spoke before the protesters at the Prime Minister's Office, analyzing the figures of the decline in the number of pupils and students in schools, as well as accusing the government of corruption and attacks on the Albanian family.
He declared that popular resistance cannot be stopped by the maneuvers of power and called for rejecting propaganda.
" This is the people's protest and it doesn't go into your pocket, there are 7 million Albanians in protest and who don't want this government. The dirty work they are doing with intimidation and the dirty propaganda of the most corrupt government in Europe will end! Don't listen to the propaganda! They have stolen our funds and we are in pieces with infrastructure even though Europe has given billions ," Susaj said.
Further, the lecturer focused specifically on the situation in the education system and the reasons that, according to him, have led to the massive departure of young people from the country.
"They have hit us in the heart and spinal cord, they have hit us in Albanian schools. Today we only have 115 thousand students. It has dropped by 35%. No world war has done this to Albania! The number of students in schools has dropped, the number of graduates has dropped by 50% from 13 years ago! Why did this happen? Because this dirty and traitorous government massacred the Albanian family in property, in judicial rights, in health care, in environmental standards, in security! Find me somewhere else where youth has been massacred like in Albania!", he said in his speech.
A citizen from Sweden took the floor at the 43rd protest in front of the Prime Minister's Office, expressing his support for the protesters and delivering a speech to the attendees.
The tourist, who said he is closely following developments in Albania, stated that he feels concerned by what he described as corruption and called on citizens to believe in their own strength.
"I come from Sweden and I want to say one thing. I am tired of corruption, of money-hungry politicians who want to steal from you. You are the majority, they are the minority. It is time for you to take your destinies into your own hands," he said during his speech.
The tourist's statement was met with applause and cheers from the rally participants, who continued the protest with calls against the government.
The protest in front of the Prime Minister's Office has entered its 43rd day, while organizers have stated that the rallies will continue in the coming days. As of the time of publication of this news, there has been no official reaction from the government regarding the statements made during the protest.
Today marks the 43rd day of the protest. After taking up residence at the Prime Minister's Office, one of the protesters strongly criticized the much-discussed concert of American rapper Kanye West held the day before in Tirana.
Focusing on the event that received 4.2 million euros from emergency funds, the protester turned the response into a sarcastic provocation that caused cheers from the crowd.
"The most beautiful song at Kanye West's concert yesterday was the song 'Rama resigns,'" he said ironically, implying that despite the government's efforts to distract public opinion with lights and spectacles worth millions of euros, the call was heard at the concert as well.
Activist Luçiana Kokaj, in her speech at the 43rd consecutive protest in front of the Prime Minister's Office, accused the government of attempting, according to her, to intimidate protesters and their families, emphasizing that these actions will not stop the civic movement.
"The government has attacked us since day one, calling us agents, dealing with us personally, and attempting to intimidate our families. But no maneuver will take us away from our right to defend our homeland," Koka declared during her speech.
She stated that, despite the labeling and pressure that, according to her, have been exerted on activists, the protest has continued to gather citizens of different ages every day.
According to Koka, the presence of young people, women and families at the rally is proof that the protesters have not backed down from their goal.
"Every day here we see youth, women, children and families who are not afraid of anything ," she said, calling for continued civic mobilization.
Luçiana Kokaj: No one thought we would last this long. We endured this system, robbery and extortion for 85 years. What are 43 days in our lives. May it continue until Albania regains dignity. There is no summer, no summer vacation that takes Albanians away from the square. I call on you to be more and more every day, Albania needs us. May our children grow up with dignity in their land. The government has attacked us since day one, as agents and by dealing with each of us, no maneuver takes us away from our right to defend our homeland. I am very happy that every day I see here young people, family members who are not afraid of anything to defend Albania.
On the 43rd day, thousands of citizens have gathered in the square to protest against the government of Edi Rama. Just like every other protest, today there was no shortage of stinging banners. They demand accountability and not just spectacle.
Citizens have expressed their determination to continue their struggle until the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama and the departure of the old political caste.
Throughout the protest, there were no shortage of calls: "Rama resign" and "Rama in prison, Berisha in prison."
The rally is taking place for the 43rd consecutive day, while organizers declare that the protests will continue until their demands are met.
The protest in front of the Prime Minister's Office building has entered its 43rd day, with the participation of thousands of citizens, who gathered again today to express opposition to the government and demand the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama.
Citizens are flocking to the Prime Minister's Office, holding national flags and banners with anti-government messages, while calls for the Prime Minister's resignation and political change were heard throughout the rally.
Protesters say their dissatisfaction is related to issues that, according to them, affect governance, the economy, corruption, and the standard of living.
A citizen who participated in today's protest in Skanderbeg Square has explained the reasons that prompted him to attend the rally, focusing on his concern for the future of children and the social situation in the country.
"I came out to protest for my children, because I want to raise them in Albania. I don't want us to take the ways of the world! All honest Albanians should gather here, here we find honest and disinterested Albanians. Only for our rights and those of our nation, that's why I came out to protest today," the citizen said.
He further criticized the political and social situation in the country, citing corruption and crime as some of the main problems that, according to him, affect the daily lives of citizens.
"We face endless problems. The main reason is the corruption that is burying us every day, the crime that surrounds us every day. All parties, without exception, have left us in a mess," he declared.
The protesters have vowed to continue their daily rallies until their demands are met. The atmosphere in front of the Prime Minister's Office has been 'occupied' by cheers, patriotic songs and continuous calls to institutions.
Protests in front of the Prime Minister's Office have been ongoing for 43 consecutive days, while organizers have announced that they will continue the rallies in the coming days, insisting on their demands for political change.
