Anti-government protests continued on Wednesday, marking the 165th day of public mobilisation. A nationwide protest was announced in Tirana, with students and residents from several cities across the country expected to attend.
The rally is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. outside the Ministry of Education. Protesters are then expected to march to the Prime Minister’s Office, where the demonstration will continue.
Students have begun boycotting classes to join the protests. Students from the Faculty of History and Philology and the Polytechnic University walked out of lectures and began marching, chanting “Resign!” as they headed to join students from other faculties.
Their main demand remains the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama. During the march, students voiced frustration with the current situation and called for accountability and action.
Wednesday’s protest comes as Rama is in Dublin, Ireland, where he was also met by a protest staged by Albanian expatriates.
