Fined 5 million lek by the police, says the 17-year-old: My mother has passed away! My family is camping! I will continue to protest

In a statement to News24 from today's protest, the young man said that the family lives on economic assistance and the KEMP disability pension, while emphasizing that he has been without his mother for years.

He claims that at the time of the protest he was playing and was not part of the gathering. According to him, he did not even inform his father about the fine, as he cannot afford the payment of 5,000 euros within 10 days.

The 17-year-old said that the difficult economic situation will not stop him from seeking what he considers his rights, warning that he will continue to participate in protests until the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama.

Protester: I was playing, I was not part of the protest.

I did not inform my father, because I cannot pay 5 thousand euros for 10 days. My mother is dead, she passed away many years ago. With camp, I have family members, who receive a total of 240,000 ALL.

It doesn't work at all. I worked in the furniture industry, I used to get 360,000 lek, it doesn't work for anything. I have come out for my rights and the rights of Albania. The state doesn't give me anything for my mother's death, I only get a scholarship at school.
