One of the citizens speaking at the protest was a woman who has been an immigrant in Great Britain for years, who accused Prime Minister Edi Rama of demanding the repatriation of Albanian youth as if they were criminals.
She said that the real criminal was the prime minister himself, who should leave for what he had done.
As she confessed her difficulties with the political regime and family ones, she said that many Albanians have also faced many Albanians in search of a better life abroad.
From the protest podium, she recalled the period when many young people left Albania in difficult conditions, risking everything to reach Great Britain and other European countries.
“When we were fighting for survival and crossing trucks and bridges to get to England, we were labeled as criminals. But our children are not criminals, they are the future of this country. The English don’t have a problem with us, but he does, because when his son bought 2,000 pounds of bottles at the bar, our children were at home to survive,” she said.
He further reminded the prime minister that he was the criminal and that he belonged in prison:
“Our children are not criminals, Mr. Rama, you are a criminal. Our children are the future. Our children are the most beautiful race in the world, Mr. Rama, our children are here, I have been in prison, I say one word to Mr. Rama, I finished my prison, and when will you start yours. Down with the government, down Edi Rama”, she concluded.
