Many of the protestors marching through the streets of Tirana last night had been demonstrating for 46 consecutive days. For over six weeks, every night they meet in Skanderbeg Square in the centre of the Albanian capital and march to the office of Prime Minister Edi Rama where speeches are made demanding a change of government, before the crowd peacefully, yet determinedly, walks through the streets of the city calling for Shqipëri e re (a new Albania).
It’s tiring, often very hot, and there’s a sense of frustration among protestors that Albania’s leaders are refusing to listen to their demands – along with the fear that the world’s media are losing interest as the days wear on.
