The protest against the government has continued for 169 days. Those gathered are calling for Prime Minister Edi Rama to resign, the current government to leave office, free elections and a change to the political system.
Speaking to News24, a protester said that, in her view, the state does not respond to citizens or work for them, but instead collaborates with the mafia and criminals. She accused the country’s leaders of treating Albania as their own property and said the length of the protests and the large turnout showed that the government had failed.

Speaking about the protest’s symbols, the woman described the flamingo as a symbol of their cause and said Narta was the last straw.
The protester said Rama does not listen to them or care about their demands. In her view, he uses political games to divide people in the square; if he took them seriously, the square would not still be full. She added that the prime minister also faces a crisis within the PS and that the protesters have exposed the propaganda he has spread throughout these years.
