Anti-government protesters gathered outside Albania's Prime Minister's Office for the 49th consecutive day on Saturday, reaffirming five key demands that organizers say must be met before the demonstrations come to an end.

"We will not leave the square until our five demands are fulfilled," one protester told the crowd, as demonstrators once again called for political change and what they described as a broader transformation of the country's leadership.

The protesters' demands include the immediate resignation of the prime minister and the entire government, the establishment of a transitional technocratic government for at least 12 months, constitutional amendments to be approved through a national referendum, reforms to political party financing laws, and a two-term limit for future prime ministers.

The latest demonstration follows the first meeting of the so-called "National Protest Assembly," convened by protest organizers. The gathering was reportedly marked by internal disagreements and tensions, with participants divided over both the purpose of the meeting and its legitimacy.

Signs of those divisions also emerged during Saturday's protest. While one demonstrator was addressing the crowd from an improvised stage outside the Prime Minister's Office, another protester interrupted the speech and urged the speaker to step down from the podium.

Several demonstrators also distanced themselves from the National Protest Assembly, insisting that the movement's representatives are those gathered in the square and rejecting what they described as negotiations taking place behind closed doors.

The protest movement has continued to stage daily demonstrations, maintaining pressure on the government while insisting that the rallies will continue until their demands are addressed.
