Banner from today's protest

Citizens gathered again this Wednesday in the 67th consecutive protest against the government.

"People on the streets, power on the yacht" is one of the banners that attracted attention during today's protest against the government of Prime Minister Edi Rama.

Through this banner, the protesters have ironized the published images of Prime Minister Rama sailing on a speedboat in Dhërmi, while the protesters continue their rallies in Tirana.

Protesters have used this message as a criticism of what they consider to be the distance between the government and the concerns of citizens.

Meanwhile, activist Edison Lika, during the 67th protest, commented on photos circulating on social networks showing Prime Minister Edi Rama sailing on a speedboat in Dhërmi.

Speaking to the protesters, Lika addressed the prime minister with a political message, while declaring that the protests will continue throughout August.

"On the 67th day of this protest, several photos have been circulated showing former Prime Minister Rama on a speedboat. From this square, we say, Enjoy your last vacation in freedom. This square will continue to be full every day of this August because it is our vacation. This building that is behind us, which is the building of the prime minister's office, has never been more represented than by you who are in the square. We address SPAK with calls: Investigate Rama," he said.
