The non-partisan protest in Albania's capital entered its 17th consecutive day as citizens once again gathered in Skanderbeg Square before marching along the Dëshmorët e Kombit Boulevard toward the Prime Minister's Office.

As the protests enter their third week, organizers emphasize that the civic movement remains independent of traditional party lines. |
One journalism student addressed the crowd with a message of determination, declaring that protesters were prepared to remain outside the Prime Minister's Office for as long as necessary.
“If necessary, we will sleep on the steps until there is a resignation,” the student said.
Organizers also announced an important change to the protest schedule. Beginning tomorrow, the daily gathering will start at 7:00 p.m., a move intended to facilitate greater public participation.
One of the protest initiator Alben Kola informed participants that, unlike previous evenings, only young people would be allowed to speak during today's demonstration.
Kola emphasized that the movement would continue to remain peaceful and independent of political parties.
“The protest will continue peacefully. We are not against political parties, but against their leaders,” he stated.
The ongoing demonstrations have attracted citizens from different backgrounds who say they are seeking political accountability and institutional change. Despite entering its third week, organizers insist that the protest will remain non-partisan and focused on civic engagement rather than party politics.
As the movement enters its 17th day, participants appear determined to maintain their presence in the capital, with organizers promising further peaceful gatherings in the days ahead.
