In recent protests in front of the Prime Minister's Office, protesters have lined up dozens of pairs of shoes and sneakers in front of the Prime Minister's Office.

The symbolism of this gesture is truly moving.

They symbolize those who have emigrated and are no longer here.

Emigration is one of the biggest wounds in Albanian society over the years and one of the reasons why protesters are demanding the removal of Prime Minister Rama.

According to INSTAT data, nearly 30,000 people leave Albania each year, most of whom are young.

This is one of the largest figures in Europe and a major blow to the country.

This is because in Albania, due to mass departures, it has become difficult to find workers, which has forced many businessmen to hire people from countries like Bangladesh or the Philippines.
