Hundreds of citizens of Tirana participated in the protest organized by civil society and the opposition to demand justice for 7-year-old Jonada Avdia, who died on the beach of Potami in Himare, after being hit by a speedboat driven by police officer Arjan Bowl.

The protest that lasted two hours started in front of the Ministry of the Interior, where the protesters demanded the resignation of Minister Bledi Çuçi, but also of the Minister of Tourism, Mirela Kumbaro.

The protesters also left a 72-hour deadline for their dismissal, otherwise the protest will continue. A moment of tension was recorded in front of the building of the Ministry of Interior, but it died down very quickly.

Protesters lit candles and laid flowers, then moved in front of the Prime Minister's Office and the Presidency.

Riding on the railings surrounding the Presidency, the citizens demanded a reaction from President Bajram Begaj, who still has not said a word about this strange similarity.

Protesters have called him a "puppet president of the government". While a woman has called on the First Lady to react like a mother.  

During the protest, many citizens took the floor, who unanimously demanded the resignation of the ministers responsible for this event and justice for the minor who tragically lost her life.

The opposition leaders, Sali Berisha and Ilir Meta, joined the citizen protest, who chose not to address the attendees, while giving statements to the media.

Asked by journalists, former Prime Minister Sali Berisha considered the event as very tragic and added that the citizens demand the resignation of the ministers.

"If I were in Rama's place, if Çuçi had not fled in 3 minutes, I would have fired him and the Minister of Tourism in 4. They are trying to overcome one of the most tragic events that happened in this country, with the police chain of Vlora", said Berisha.

Meanwhile, the former president Ilir Meta, in addition to the resignation of the ministers, said in front of the cameras that the citizens should intensify the protests against this government.

Currently, the author of this serious incident, Arjan Tase, has been arrested and the police have referred him to the charge of manslaughter, which provides for a penalty of up to 5 years in prison, a charge that is expected to be changed by the prosecution in the hearing that will be held. on Friday in the Court of Vlora.

7-year-old Jonada Avdia was hit by a motorboat on the beach of Potami, after the officer Tase had left his family and was rapidly maneuvering to return to the open sea.

For this serious event, the management chain of the Border Police in Vlora was also dismissed.
