MEP Cristina Guarda has announced that in a few days she will come to Tirana to take part in the massive protests, where citizens have been peacefully demanding for almost 26 days the uncontested resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama and the removal of his government.
In a video posted on social media, Guarda states that with non-violent protests, Albanians are teaching Europe something, while adding that Europe should listen to the voices of the protesters.
“In a few days I will be in Albania, in the square with you. Thanks to the amendment proposed by us “The Greens”, Europe tells Edi Rama that it cannot authorize an extra luxury resort without environmental assessments and laws that respect European standards. With the delegation of the “Greens” of the European Parliament, we will come to meet “Civil Society”, “NGOs” and “Citizens” already on the 24th day of the protest, non-violent, from which you are teaching us a lot. It is an unprecedented mobilization that demands more democracy, transparency and rights. I want to be there with you. Europe must listen to you. SEE YOU IN THE SQUARE”, she says.
