The protest the day before was a marathon. After the protest in front of the Prime Minister's Office, the protesters also marched to other areas of Tirana. Some of them headed towards Rinas, but as soon as they realized the scheme, they turned back.

For this scenario, activist Irini Myftaraj has pointed the finger of accusation at Gent Progni, the man connected to AKSHI affairs.

According to the activist, the protesters who headed towards Rinas were led by Gent Progni.
Gent Progni is the man who is alleged to be a whistleblower of AKSHI, but previously had connections with people and received benefits as a third party and work from those who were connected to AKSHI. But this belongs to the investigative file. Now Progni has gone to take the lead of the protest where he has encountered opposition from activists.

"We are returning from Rinas. We broke away peacefully. We were led to go there by Gent Progni, who is now doing these typical schemes of a traitor that someone else pulled us over. We traveled 4 hours to get here. We have no intention of attacking, not the police, but anyone. Everyone knows that this protest is peaceful, but we also know that there are many like Gent Progni and many like these. It is up to you to choose who to believe. Since the raising of that podium has been suspicious, that Gent Progni is raising it. Of course, now he will use other methods of manipulation by saying that I have always been with you. Anyone who is smart knows very well that this movement today was typical of a traitor," said activist Myftaraj.

Following this video, there was also a reaction from Prime Minister Edi Rama, who expressed regret for the young people involved in the protests, describing some of the developments as influenced by "evil minds", while calling on them to distance themselves from what he called misdirection.

"Protesters are free to peacefully protest for whatever they want, however they want, and for however long they want, but without wanting to moralize, I have no choice but to tell you:

1. This protest no longer has any connection to Sazan or Zvërnec, because all documentation of the process and the entire documented approach of the government clearly show that the government is up to the public interest and international standards and best practices.

2. This protest is damaging Albania's image and the tourist season, feeding the negative and false perception of a country that is environmentally unfriendly, inhospitable to foreign investment, and unsafe for tourists. Hotel cancellations and road blockages herald an economically negative season for many, many families and people who are directly or indirectly linked to the tourism industry value chain.

3. This protest, which reaches and degrades into a crowd led by evil minds and evil hands towards the airport road, blocking thousands of people from their free movement on the streets at night, has within it precisely that great evil of extremism that inspires online bullying and the merciless disruption of the rhythm of life of the majority.

4. Pity for the young men and women who were disappointed by the blind march towards Rinas with the taste of their freedom and independence and in the name of an imaginary revolution, until they realized for themselves what a stupid thing they had done by going behind the scenes infiltrated by destructive forces, inside or outside, who are doing their best to harm Albania as much as possible. I hope they wake up as soon as possible from this chaos and detach themselves an hour earlier from the evil minds and evil hands that have already taken control of the protest.

5. This protest has also exalted many well-known figures in the public sphere. With their shallow minds, they have joined it in various ways, on the boulevard or on social and media channels, with the idea that the sea has turned sour, the government is drowning, a new hour has come for the spoons in their generations.

But if there are any real beneficiaries of this protest, they are only two:

The Albanian Government, which will definitely learn the lessons it needs from the sincere part of the protest, properly addressing the legitimate concerns of that part, and the Socialist Party, which, when the fog clears, will severely disappoint all its opponents, emerging bigger and stronger at the center of Albania's political scene," Rama writes./ CNA
