Albanian national football team captain Lorik Cana has voiced support for the student protest. In a message on social media, Cana calls on the authorities to listen to the voice of young people.
“When students rise up in protest and demand their rights, the attention and priorities of society and institutions must be fully focused on them until a lasting solution or agreement is found,” Cana wrote.
“Students represent the future of the country, and investing in their conditions is a direct investment in the well-being of society.”
For a week now, young people have been protesting in the streets of Tirana, with numerous violent episodes recorded every day.
