Festive May 1st in Albania

They have protested in different times in front of the Prime Ministry for the same requests. Only dozens broke the indifference of the Albanians on this May 1st. They asked for social justice, meaning employment, education, better health service and law implementation.

“The Albanians are tired. They want jobs, security and justice. These pseudo reforms have turned the teachers in slaves of this government, and have denied them the legal and academic independence, by openly abusing with their career rights and freedoms. Half accomplished reforms and corruption in the health system have turned that system in a kind of business, by losing the humane sense of health”, declared Kole Nikolla, Chairman of the Syndication Confederation.

The Miners’ Union, led by Fiqiri Xibri, protested in front of the Ministry of Labor and completed their protest at the Prime Ministry.

“If the Albanians will be dormant, they should go at the park and enjoy the fresh grass, and we can do nothing for them. If the citizens will be with us in this protest, there is no government that can resist to our rightful requests. The minimal vital needs in Albania are 30% higher than the average wage, without mentioning the officialized minimal wage, which is very low”, Xibri declared.

The citizens who were part of the protest underline that they must raise their voice for the problems that concern them each day. While these citizens were the only who reminded that May 1st was not a celebration day, hundreds of others passed in front of them indifferently.
