Albanian students ultimatum government or more massive protests

On social networks, which are also “nera” of this protest, students published the agenda and, based on it, gathered before the University Corps at 9:30 and started marching to the Ministry of Education.

Students have set the Ministry of Education on Tuesday, when all their demands must have been met.

“We are all united. We'll ask the ministry and the government for the same eight-point requests. By Tuesday it is the ultimatum. If it doesn't come true, on Tuesday it's gonna be the most massive protest you've ever seen”, one of the students told the media.

Today, it will be the 5th day of student protests for their rights, as they continue to call for no politicalisation of the rally. They claim that there have been attempts by several groups to divide, so they have put up some ideas. They demand that there be no leader, but the organisation be done through social networks and the second become distinct by political groups propose to hold a red headscarf in their hand.

“Studens, all united to insist on meeting conditions! Anyone who cannot go and meet near his faculties, come directly to the Ministry of Education”, the University's Facebook page.info says.

Even “The movement for” University calls for politics to stay away from students.

Anti-Students in protest before the Ministry of Education are facing a co-ordinated dezinformation campaign and attempts to divide. The Movement for University calls on all political parties to halt divisive actions against students. Even harder than we are, the call for non-involved party involvement comes from thousands of students unanimously. It is those who have realised that the parties have only one interest: the division of students and the instrumentising of the protest for their agendas”.

Students do not intend to withdraw even after the refusal they make yesterday to Minister Lindita Nicola, which entered among the crowd to communicate with them but was refused, as students do not seek negotiations but only to meet the conditions.
