Student protests receive support from European Democrats: We stand with Albanian

The student protests in Albania have received the support of the European Democrats, who from their congress in Athens have sent a message to Prime Minister Edi Rama, declaring that they stand by the young people who are seeking change and a democratic future for the country. 
Through a public response, the European Democrats have praised the courage of the Albanian students, as they emphasize that their effort is linked to the aspiration for a democratic and European Albania.

"Greetings, Edi Rama. From our congress in Athens, the European Democrats family has a message for you: We stand with the brave young people of Albania, who are fighting for a finally democratic and European Albania. Thank you to MP Marjana Koçeku for joining us!" , their message reads.

Independent MP Marjana Koçeku also participated in the congress, speaking about the student protests in Albania and the symbolism of the movement known as the "Flamingo Revolution".

During her speech, Koçeku emphasized that for Albanians, Europe does not represent only a geographical or economic destination, but above all the values ​​of democracy, transparency and accountability.

She stated that the flamingo has become a symbol of civic resistance and democratic awakening, while raising accusations of the use of violence against protesting students by police forces.

"For Albanians, Europe has never been just a dot on the map or just an economic opportunity. It has represented something much more sacred and important to our nation and people: the European values ​​of democracy, transparency and accountability."

But the flamingo quickly became a symbol that represented much more than just nature. It became a symbol of resistance, civic courage, and democratic awakening for our country.

"I have personally visited hospitals, where, due to the severe violence exerted against protesting students by plainclothes police, all means are being used to prevent students from protesting and demanding their democratic rights," Koçeku declared.
