Hundreds of citizens gathered outside the Prime Minister’s Office in Tirana on Tuesday for the 24th consecutive day of demonstrations, demanding political change and voicing opposition to what organizers describe as controversial foreign-backed investment projects.

During the protest, one participant announced that members of the Albanian diaspora plan to return to the country on July 4 to join the demonstrations for a second time.

“I have an announcement. We have received many messages from the Albanian diaspora, and on July 4 the entire diaspora will be here,” the protester told the crowd gathered outside the government headquarters.

The announcement follows a previous mobilization on June 20, when large numbers of Albanian migrants returned to the country and later joined demonstrations in the capital, calling for significant changes to the nation’s political leadership.

Tuesday’s rally marked the 24th day of continuous protests, with demonstrators maintaining pressure on the government to address a series of political, economic, and environmental demands.

Protest organizers outlined a five-point platform that includes:

Protesters also reiterated their economic and environmental demands, including the repeal of amendments to legislation concerning protected areas and cultural heritage, the cancellation of the so-called “Mountain Package,” and the abolition of the legal framework governing Strategic Investments.

The demonstrations have become one of the longest-running protest movements in recent months, with participants pledging to continue their campaign until their demands are addressed.

A constitutional limit restricting any individual from serving more than two terms as prime minister.

Electoral reform and changes to political party financing regulations.

The drafting of a new constitution to guarantee full equality before the law, subject to approval through a national referendum.

The establishment of a non-partisan transitional technical government with a clear 12-month mandate.

The immediate resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama and the entire government cabinet.
