The 27th protest in front of the Prime Minister's Office was also accompanied by moments of emotion, as activist Gerta Loka from Mirdita gave a heartfelt speech, calling on citizens to continue the protest until their objectives are achieved.
Tearfully, she revealed that she had left her life in Europe to return to Albania, wanting her children to grow up with their grandparents. However, according to her, the reality she found in the country was disappointing.
"Today I found out that a Russian or an Iranian could come and buy the two fields next to the stable, because I can't buy them. Who hasn't been to the hospital once and not come back humiliated? Who hasn't been to customs and not been neglected, or not been subjected to the administration? The municipalities are run by militants. Ignorants are running Albania ," she said.
At the end of her speech, the protester appealed to citizens not to give up on the protests.
"I want us not to give up! We are here against all those who are sitting in those chairs, against a system that expelled our hearts, for those mothers who kiss the phone because their children are not here. Where do you live, Mr. Prime Minister? Get up, Albanians!", she declared.
On the 27th day of the civic protest, the organizers have reiterated the demands that, according to them, have now become the political platform of the movement.
In front of the Prime Minister's Office building, on behalf of the protest coordination group, a protester once again read the statement with the demands that citizens consider non-negotiable, emphasizing that they are built on the proposals collected over the past few days by protest participants.
At the top of the list remains the non-negotiable resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama and the entire government, while the establishment of a non-partisan transitional technical government with a 12-month mandate is also being demanded.
The protesters also reiterated their demand for constitutional amendments, which they say should be subject to a popular referendum. These include amending the Electoral Code, amending the law on the financing of political parties, and limiting the prime minister's term to no more than two terms in office.
Also, the request for the cancellation of the amendments to the law on protected areas, the law on cultural heritage, the repeal of the Mountain Package and the removal of the status of strategic investments was reiterated.
The coordination group stated that the protest will continue until these demands are met, while emphasizing that a new social contract between citizens and the state will be drafted after consultations with experts, intellectuals, and non-partisan citizens.
Even during this evening, there were no shortage of calls for "Rama to leave", "Rama to resign", "New Albania", "Rama in prison" and "Berisha in prison", while protesters have declared that they will continue to gather every day until the objectives announced by the movement are achieved.
One of the participants in the 27th protest in front of the Prime Minister's Office, Erald Ndoji, gave a speech in which he said that his father, Zef Ndoji, was one of the founders of the Socialist Party in Kruja, but today, with tears in his eyes, he says that he made a mistake with that party because criminals entered it.
According to him, his father, who worked for 45 years as a teacher and today receives a pension of around 100 euros, expresses disappointment at the path that, according to him, the party has taken.
"My father, Zef Ndoji, worked as a teacher for 45 years and today has a pension of 100 euros. He cries when he talks to me and says: 'We made a mistake'. He says: 'Criminals have entered our party. I will not accept this'. Just as I will not accept my mother's 35 years of working to support us, and you have introduced criminals into the party," said the protester.
At the end of his speech, Ndoji called on the protesters to continue the protest and stay united.
"My prayer is: do not give up until the end. This never wins the battle with pure people like us, all together. This is the battle of existence. Come together," he said.
The citizens started from Skanderbeg Square and gathered in front of the Prime Minister's Office, where they began their speeches. The demand remains the same: the resignation of Edi Rama.
The 27th citizen protest against Prime Minister Edi Rama and the political caste has begun. As in previous days, hundreds of citizens first gathered at Skanderbeg Square, then walked towards the Prime Minister's Office building.
Currently, speeches have begun in front of the Prime Minister's Office, while protesters continue to chant the slogans that have now become symbols of the revolt: "Rama go away", "Rama resigns", "New Albania", "The end has come for you", "Rama in prison" and "Berisha in prison".
Citizens accuse the government of corruption and demand the removal of Prime Minister Edi Rama, calling for the unity of Albanians.
" We have a criminal government, a government that no one wants. Let's unite to overthrow this criminal government ," said one of the protesters.
The protest is now in its 27th day, and the revolt, which began as an opposition to the Zvernec project, has turned into a broader movement against the government and the political class. Organizers have announced that the rallies will continue in the coming days.
Parents and their children are also participating in the rally, while chants such as "Down with the dictatorship," "Rama resigns," and "Revolution, new Albania" were heard during the march. Organizers have announced that a nationwide protest will be held on Saturday against what they call the "old political caste."
The 27th protest begins. Thousands of citizens have begun gathering towards the Prime Minister's Office building, to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama.
Protesters of various age groups, including parents accompanied by their children, joined the rally. Holding banners and national flags, the participants marched towards the Prime Minister's Office, repeating calls against the government.
Slogans such as " Down with the dictatorship," "Rama resigns," and "Revolution, new Albania" were heard during the protest . These calls reflect the protesters' positions and their demands on the government.
The protesters also unfurled a large banner with the inscription "The Cham issue requires action."
A citizen from Kosovo also joined the march to the Prime Minister's Office. He emphasized that Albanians are united, regardless of which side of the border they live on.
"As in Kosovo, as in Albania, we are all Albanians. When there are irregularities, we all react," he said, underlining the solidarity among Albanians.
This is the 27th march held as part of the protest action they have been undertaking for weeks. They have also announced that the protest will continue with a nationwide rally on Saturday, which they present as a mobilization against what they call the "old political caste."
Numerous State Police forces are engaged in the smooth running of the protest and monitoring the situation.
