Korça residents return to protest after two days of absence,

After two days of no protests in the city of Korça, today activists and citizens announced the return of rallies. The protest call was made for 6:00 PM, at the city's pedestrian meeting point, where supporters of the movement were expected to gather.

However, this time too, the turnout was low. After about an hour from the start of the protest, the number of citizens gathered on the pedestrian walkway was limited, being significantly smaller compared to the first days when the rallies began in Korça.

Footage obtained by CNA shows a small number of protesters, while estimates put the number of participants at up to 40. The rally continues to take place in a peaceful atmosphere, but without the massive turnout expected by the organizers.

This is the first protest after the two-day break in Korça, where a previously announced rally was canceled due to lack of participation. Meanwhile, some of the protesters from Korça had chosen to join the protest held in Tirana, which was also given as one of the reasons for the lack of protests organized in the city over the weekend. /CNA
