Thousands of citizens are protesting for the 11th day in Tirana, demanding the removal of Edi Rama as prime minister. The protest began at 6:00 PM in Skenderbeg Square, which has become a meeting place for all protesters, who then march towards the Prime Minister's Office, where speeches are being held on an improvised 'podium'.
The cry that has now become a symbol of the protest is "Rama in prison, Berisha in prison", but also "The end has come for you", a cry that is addressed to the old politics.
The new call that accompanied today's protest was also directed at Edi Rama and Sali Berisha, whom the protesters consider as "allies" who keep each other in politics and completely control it, was "O Rama, you fossil, go with Sali to asylum."
The banner shows Rama and Berisha, the first with a wheelchair and the other with a crutch, which the elderly use to walk.

Among the protesters were also seen banners with patriotic and historical overtones. One of them compared the League of Prizren to the Albanian diaspora of today, with the message: “Prizren 1878, Albanians of the 5 vilayets came together. Tirana 2026, Albanians of the 5 continents came together.”
A group of students marched with a large banner reading "You haven't settled your score with the students yet," while holding messages such as "When students rise up, the state trembles," "Without youth, there is no Albania," and "Now is our turn," bringing back the spirit of student movements to the protest.
There was no shortage of messages against the government's decision-making. Another banner read "Our land, our decision," while another addressed the prime minister directly with the message: "Rama, fire me if you keep him!", ironically mocking the clashes between citizens and institutions.
Meanwhile, one of the most detailed banners also presented a political platform with concrete demands, calling for a "radically new government", the distribution of power, limiting the prime minister's term to 1-2 years, and a governance model closer to the citizens.
For many participants, the banners were not simply protest tools, but the most direct form of expressing dissatisfaction with the government, the opposition, and the political system as a whole. In a protest filled with calls and slogans, it was precisely the banners that attracted the most attention and immediately went viral on social media.
The protesters called for their voices to be heard all the way to Surrel, where Edi Rama has his villa.
