The opposition’s resistance in the tent in front of the Prime Ministry has entered its fourth day. The entire yesterday evening, citizens talked about the youth protests of February 20, 1991.
From the tent PD leader Lulzim Basha made a live appearance in TV programs Opinion and Top Story, declaring that citizens and the opposition are determinate to continue to fight for their cause of free and fair elections until the end.
The Prime Minister and this majority failed on purpose to give the country an electoral reform. There are two roads toward a technical government; one is that the majority reflects on its actions and the other is a confrontation until one of the sides withdraws. There will only be free and fair elections. Without free and fair elections, the country doesn’t go one millimeter into the direction of the EU.
PD Deputy Dhurata Çupi stated for Ora News that the protest will continue to be peaceful, although the possibility of a hunger strike will not be excluded.
This is an incredibly important lesson for the last 27 years that with Basha protests are peaceful and for important causes. All the options remain on the table, we wouldn’t want to turn this this protest that is so peaceful into a hunger strike. But there is no doubt that we will exhaust all the possibilities that democracy gives us.
Today German MEP and Rapporteur for Albania Knut Fleckenstein will meet PD leader Basha. It is not clear where the meeting will take place, in the tent or elsewhere.
