Albania’s student movement has announced plans to intensify its protests, introducing a new strategy of holding two nationwide demonstrations every week as pressure on Prime Minister Edi Rama’s government continues to grow.
After more than 150 days of protests and resistance, the student movement has decided to organise demonstrations every Wednesday and Saturday, both scheduled to begin at 2 p.m., according to a statement published by the organisers and reported by Lajmi.
The decision is aimed at maintaining student mobilisation and increasing pressure on the government to meet their demands.
At the centre of the students’ demands remains the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama.
Meanwhile, the opposition is expected to show support for the student protests by organising its own anti-government rallies outside the Prime Minister’s Office.
The planned demonstrations mark a new phase in the student movement’s campaign, as protesters seek to sustain pressure on the government through more frequent nationwide mobilisation.
