For the first time since the protests began, representatives of the movement publicly presented a platform of political and legal demands, led by the government's resignation.
Today's protest in front of the Prime Minister's Office marked another important development, as for the first time the organizers came up with a clear platform and concrete demands, showing that the movement has now gone beyond opposition to the Zvërnec project.
One of the protestors' representatives declared to the crowd that the movement is now represented by an initiative group and a coordination group, which will direct the future actions of the protest.
" This nationwide movement is represented by an initiatory group and a coordinating group of patriots, with integrity and high intellectual and social values. Dignified men and women, young men and women determined to take this cause to the end and in accordance with the will of the sovereign, we will know how to make the right decisions at the right time ," he said amid cheers from the protesters.
According to the organizers, civic dissatisfaction is no longer related only to developments in Zvërnec, but to the way the country has been governed in recent years.
" This initiative was born as a response to the great danger in which our country finds itself. According to our conviction, the actions of the government and this entire 35-year-old political class have violated the national interest and national security of Albania, putting the country's assets and future at the service of their dirty private interests and policies ," declared the representative of the protesters.
He then announced that the protest is organized and led by independent citizens.
" We declare that the protest is organized and led by free citizens, united around a common nationwide cause for the future of Albania ," he said.
The five official demands of the protest were then presented. At the top of them was the resignation of the government, a demand that was accompanied by the crowd’s chorus of “Resignation! Resignation!” Protesters also demand the repeal of the status and legal framework for strategic investors, the repeal of the Mountain Package, the cancellation of the amendments to the law on protected areas, and the cancellation of the amendments to the law on cultural heritage.

Bravo Bravo Bravo. Ju bej thirrje gjithe shqiptareve patriot dhe te ndergjegjshen te qendrojne. Kane perballe nje kryeminister me shume leke te vjedhura, me shume lidhje, me shume banda kriminale ne krah, me nje administrate te korruptuar etj etj. Nuk eshte e lehte , por neser do jete dhe me e veshtire. Ta terheqesh zvarre i ben nder ketij kryeministri mizerje.
Nga viti 1997 deri në vitin 2026, çdo qytetar i votuar ka kontribuar në këtë sistem shkatërrimi. Pse? Sepse njerëzit që ne votuam punuan për shkatërrimin e së ardhmes sonë në çdo fushë! Ironikisht, ata bënë pasuri prej saj. Malet u shkatërruan shumë kohë më parë nga "privatizimi". A nuk është vonë për të ndaluar shkatërrimin e vendit tonë të bukur?
