The demonstration continued for the fifth day as citizens gathered in front of the Prime Minister’s office. On Tuesday, protesters assembled in the Skënderbej square before proceeding in a march toward the government building. The core focus of the demonstration was the vehement opposition to the proposed project in Zvërnec, which participants demanded be canceled.
Beyond the Zvërnec issue, the march also featured calls for the resignation of the current Prime Minister, Edi Rama. Demonstrators carried banners displaying slogans such as “The homeland is not for sale” and “Albania is not for sale,” underscoring their deep concern regarding national assets and development plans. Organizers of the protest emphasized that the gathering represented the will of the general citizenry rather than any specific political faction.
This sentiment included a clear delineation of the protest’s scope, explicitly stating that the demonstration was independent of established political parties, including emerging political movements. The sustained nature of the protests highlights ongoing public disagreement with governmental initiatives. By assembling at the seat of the executive branch, the citizens sought to exert public pressure on the highest levels of government regarding policy decisions affecting the nation’s territory and development trajectory.
The sustained presence of the demonstrators underscores a continued public demand for governmental accountability and a reconsideration of the controversial projects under review.
