A symbolic moment drew attention during the 47th anti-government protest, as a young man appeared in front of the Prime Minister's Office with a watch on his wrist, on which was written the message: "How much longer do we have to wait?".
According to him, the clock symbolizes promises that have not been kept over the years, mentioning 24-hour drinking water supply, health services, infrastructure, electricity and Albania's membership in the European Union.
"This is a very simple message for all the things that Edi Rama has promised. And the question is very clear: how long do we have to wait for 24-hour water? How long do we have to wait for decent healthcare? How long do we have to wait for 24-hour electricity? How long do we have to wait for basic infrastructure? How long do we have to wait to join the EU?", he said.
The young man said that these were repeated promises in election campaigns, but according to him, they were not fulfilled.
"These are all campaign promises and I want citizens to remember them. Before they vote, promises are always made: 'We will have 24-hour water, 24-hour electricity, we will join the EU, we will build the train, we will do many things', but none of them have been done," he added.
He also asked another question that, according to him, summarizes the reason for the protest. The protester emphasized that he has been part of the rallies since the protests in Zvërnec and said that he has no intention of withdrawing.
"And my question is very simple, how long do we have to wait for us to have a decent life in Albania? I have been at the protests in Zvërnec, I am not tired at all. Fatigue is non-negotiable at a time when basic needs are at risk," the citizen concluded.
