"Systemic violence has taken the form of direct violence at Astiri today. VETËVENDOSJE! 'S Center in Albania has followed with great concern all the events that took place this morning in the area of" Astiri "near the" New Ring "in Tirana, where citizens have been protesting for months following the scandals of a corrupt infrastructure project with DH Albania. According to media reports, about 13 people, citizens and members of the Police were injured during today's Police action and are receiving service at University Hospital. Meanwhile, the media has also reported that about 10 other protesters have been arrested, including the pedagogue and activist Ervin Goci, and some have been mistreated during the arrest...." says among other things the VV branch in Albania.
While on the other side, in a statement to media, the head of the Albanian government, reacting to this move of Albin Kurti, where there were rumors that this branch would be led by former Albanian Foreign Minister Ditmir Bushati, stated that it would take some time for him to do so.

"Think for a moment as if a branch of the SP, with the approval of the Presidency and myself, would protest on Kosovo's Independence Day and say it is not the time to celebrate, but to reflect, and to make a leaflet, that looks like it was taken out of the printers of the opposition with the Kosovo government, what would people think?
I consider it a breakthrough in a process of transition from the opposition to the government, in a vacuum where I have been myself and it takes a while to become prime minister. Because you are prime minister on the day you start, but you do over time," Rama said.
