The head of the Socialist Party Parliamentary Group, Taulant Balla, has reacted after the participation of Albanians from the diaspora in the protest that will take place today in Tirana against the government.
Through a public reaction, Balla minimized the importance of the presence of emigrants in the protest, stating that they do not represent the will of the majority of Albanians living abroad.
" 100 or 200 cars do not represent the will of our red and black diaspora ," Balla said.
According to him, the diaspora has clearly expressed its political stance through the vote, giving support to the Socialist Party and Prime Minister Edi Rama.
" The diaspora spoke with its vote a year ago. Two out of three Albanians abroad have entrusted Edi Rama with the mandate for Albania's membership in the European Union ," declared the head of the socialist parliamentary group.
Motorcades with red and black flags, honking car horns and anti-government slogans filled the streets of Tirana this Saturday, while hundreds of Albanians from the diaspora arrived in the capital to join the 21st anti-government protest.
From London, Frankfurt, Italy and other European countries, Albanian immigrants said they had traveled for hours to be part of the protest, which they consider an important moment to express their dissatisfaction with the government.
" We came from London, we left the day before yesterday. The Prime Minister pushed us, who had no reaction. We hope that today will be the last day for him. We are over 1,000 cars from all over Europe ," said one of the participants.
Others describe their presence as an obligation to the country.
" We are here because we have Albanian blood. We have come to give strength and morale to Albanians to tell them that they are not alone. We have fled, but we have not lost ," said an immigrant who came for the protest.
Among the participants was an Albanian from Frankfurt, who said he had traveled more than 30 hours to arrive in Tirana.
