The citizen protest against the government has entered its 39th day today, while dozens of citizens gathered this evening in front of the Prime Minister's Office, reiterating the demand for the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama.
With banners and national flags, the protesters marched towards the government building, chanting "New Albania", "Rama in prison, Berisha in prison", "Edi Rama, you traitor, don't bargain with Albania" and "Rama resign".
One of the protest organizers, activist Edison Lika, declared that the rallies will continue until the prime minister leaves.
" We are in the square more determined than ever to demand resignation. The protest will continue regardless of the weather conditions. The most important thing for us is Albania. We are here to defend Albania. Our Prime Minister was given the urgency to allocate 4 million euros for Kanye West's concert. This government, which has accused the protesters, invites a singer who is banned in most European countries ," said Lika.
The activist compared the financing of the concert to the lack of funds in cases of natural disasters.
" This country has gone through earthquakes, floods and massive fires and we didn't have 4 million euros to send to the affected people, but we find it for a concert that no one needs. Many students are struggling to go to the concert, it's shameful. Not only Albanians, but also foreigners have boycotted that concert. Rama and the Socialist Party will fill it with the same patrons who filled Piazza Italia. They will be forced to go this Saturday too. Whoever is there, let them sing the Albanian anthem: 'Rama resigns' ", he said.
Organizers have announced that the protests will continue in the coming days, insisting that they will not retreat until their demands are met.
