Albanian Opposition Leader Calls on Citizens to Protect National Theatre from Demolition by Government

Chairman of the Democratic Party Lulzim Basha has called on citizens to protect the National Theatre.

“We urge the citizens to continue to defend the theatre. The theatre is the last line before the dictatorship,” he told journalists last night.

Basha visited protesting citizens last night at the theatre building, after news came out that the Municipal Council had secretly approved the demolition in an unannounced and illegal vote during the evening.

The opposition leader assured everyone that he personally, and all opposition leaders and supporters would be there to physically protect the theatre from demolition.

Basha blasted Prime Minister Edi Rama for attempting to rob the theatre public property instead of dealing with the consequences of pandemics.
