Students have gathered again in front of the Ministry of Education in Tirana, marking the 168th day of the protest. With banners and chants such as “Resignation” and “Tick-tock, your time is running out,” protesters are demanding the removal of Prime Minister Edi Rama.
Organizers have decided that national rallies will be held twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The movement, which began with demands concerning conditions at universities, education and the prospects of young people, has since expanded its demands.
University lecturers, parents and citizens have also joined the protest, while in some universities the boycott of the teaching process has continued. On the other hand, Rama has called for dialogue, but organizers continue to state that the prime minister’s resignation remains their main demand.
