Yesterday, Democratic MP Agron Shehaj joined the protest of the National Theater troupe. He declared: “if you decided to take over the building, I will be the first to enter and the last to leave.”
Shehaj proposed the occupation of the National Theater building as the only feasible way to rescue the Theater.
On Wednesday, the Rama government discreetly sent the introduced the National Theater draft law to the Parliament for approval.
