Albania Protesters Continue 67th Night of Anti-Government Demonstrations in Tirana, Calling for Political Change

TIRANA, Albania — Thousands of citizens continued their nightly march through the streets of the capital on Wednesday evening, marking the 67th consecutive night of protests against the country’s political establishment.

 Protesters in Tirana marked the 67th consecutive night of demonstrations on Wednesday evening, continuing their calls for the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama and deeper political reforms.

The demonstration began in front of the Prime Minister’s Office, where protesters delivered speeches before starting a march along Tirana’s main boulevards. Carrying Albanian national flags and banners, demonstrators chanted slogans including “Your end has come!” and “Albania belongs to Albanians, death to traitors!”, which have become recurring messages during the nightly rallies.

For nearly two months, citizens have gathered every evening in central Tirana, turning the movement into one of the longest continuous civic protests in Albania’s recent history. Organizers describe the uninterrupted participation as a sign of growing determination among protesters to continue their mobilization until their demands are addressed.

The protesters are calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama, the departure of what they describe as an entrenched political class that has governed Albania for more than three decades, and the implementation of deeper political reforms.

The march is expected to continue throughout the evening across the main streets of Tirana, with participants carrying flags, displaying banners, and repeating calls for political transformation.

The continuation of the protest after 67 nights highlights the persistence of public dissatisfaction among a segment of citizens who are demanding accountability, institutional reforms, and a new direction for the country’s political future.
