TIRANA, November 8 /ATSH/ – Citizens continued their protests this Sunday, gathering around 6:30 p.m. in front of the Prime Minister’s Office as students, local residents and civil society activists assembled to voice their grievances peacefully.
The student demonstrations, which have now lasted for over two weeks, have merged with the ‘Flamingos’ movement—an initiative active for 162 days. The movement originally centered on five core demands: halting tourism investment projects in Zvërnec and on Sazan Island, repealing the Law on Strategic Investments and the ‘Mountain Package,’ and reversing legal amendments concerning protected areas. Over the course of the protests, a call for the resignation of the current political class was added to their list of demands.
In response, Prime Minister Edi Rama has urged the demonstrators to enter into dialogue, characterizing it as a vital democratic tool for addressing and resolving grievances.
