The opposition's next rally was held this evening in front of the Prime Minister's Office.

The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, during his speech, commented on the SP's position on the issue of Belinda Balluku's immunity, saying that the majority is being used to cover up the thefts of Prime Minister Edi Rama.

The latter, according to the leading democrat, is closing the doors of Europe to Albanians and destroying the European dream.

He further called on every professional and young person in the country to stand up and protest against this government. Among other things, he described March 12, the day of the next national protest, as "the day of the spring of democracy."

"This is the square of freedom and citizens. This square will mark the end of the regime hostile to citizens. The developments of these months have highlighted the greatest ugliness of this regime, which many of you have denounced. Today, the socialist deputies used Bsalluk to defend Rama's thefts. In this context, I have a special appeal, first of all, to every Albanian intellectual, to never forget that the investment they have made in his education has been for him to be, regardless of his profession, an invincible advocate of the interests of his nation and society. I address the teachers, doctors, engineers, lawyers. Conformity with this regime is the greatest sin. None of you can say that you do not understand what is happening.

Rama is using the majority to protect the thefts he has committed against the citizens. You are clear that with these acts, Edi Rama is closing the doors of Europe for Albanians, but destroying the European dream. No one can say that they do not understand that when the Constitution is violated, when justice is destroyed, there is no more state. There is no more progress. Do not forget that your silence is a powerful support for the head of this organization to continue the destruction of our schools, education, to continue the ethnic cleansing of intellectuals, the destruction of our hospitals, the destruction of the health system. His stay in power is helped the most by your silence. Those who have experienced the dictatorship, what was the responsibility for conforming to it.

I have made a call to the youth. Your country today needs your courage and energy more than ever, so that you can build your dream here and not take the paths of the world. So come out and take to the streets. This government should be removed an hour ago. I also call on the police and the administration not to support but to sabotage this regime every day.

March 12 is a big day. On March 12, everyone will be in front of the parliament. March 12 is the day of the spring of democracy. March 12 is the day of the overthrow of the regime. So at 10:00 on the 12th, let's give Edi Rama the deserved answer", said Berisha. /CNA
