At the end of the protest, Noka warned of the continuation of the protests, saying that “civil disobedience continues”.
Meanwhile, the police directed vehicles to the secondary roads, while numerous forces were positioned in the areas where the rallies was taking place.
Most of the opposition MPs were placed in the protests inTirana, while the rest were in other areas of the protests.
Dozens of police and fire brigades were on the ground to avoid any escalation of the gathering.
Noka thanked the citizens who participated in the protest in the capital and in other cities.
“I want to thank with gratitude all the young men and women, citizens who responded to the invitation of the opposition for this great step of civil disobedience. I also want to thank the Albanian citizens in general who did everything to avoid clashes on this day and obeyed the call of the opposition”.
“I want to inform you that today has been a black day for the narco-regime and its power gangs. Terrified, they have brought the narco-police to every intersection in order to intimidate the opposition”, said DP secretary Noka, among other things.
