TIRANA, March 12 /ATA/ – Protests called by activists and civil organizations continued for the fourth consecutive day on Sunday as citizens in Tirana and other cities across the country took the streets to protest over the sharply rising fuel and consumer goods prices following Russia’s aggression on Ukraine.
Protesters gathered again in front of the Prime Minister’s office in Tirana again to protest against soaring oil, food and commodity prices.
Participants first gathered at Tirana’s main Skanderbeg Square and marched along Martyrs of Nation Boulevard to stop in front of the government seat.
With banners reading “cut the oil prices,” protesters called on state institutions to act and stop the rise in price of fuel and other goods and stabilize the prices.
Voicing determination to go on with protesting until a solution is found, civil society representatives noted that oil prices slightly dropped at the pumps after yesterday’s protest.
The protest over rising prices expanded to several other cities across the country, with citizens taking to the streets and switching off their cars on streets and roads, totally paralyzing traffic.
