As protests against the government have continued for weeks and thousands of citizens are demanding his resignation, Prime Minister Edi Rama has chosen to respond with irony to the calls coming from the square.
Through a post on social media, Rama has published what he calls a message received from an unknown number, which he titled "Manifesto of (r)resignation" .
In the text, the prime minister lists a number of government achievements, from infrastructure and tourism, to negotiations with the European Union and wage increases, ironically mocking the demands for his removal.
Prime Minister Rama's post:
GOOD MORNING ????
and with the following request for resignation from an unknown number, which I fully understand and humbly accept, I wish you a peaceful day????
????❤️

It's probably the most overused word in the virtual world, so I'm bringing it up as 'Millennials' in the hope that "Gen Z" won't denigrate me with comments.
Before I continue, I'm telling you (with the ease of a burden I don't have on my shoulders, along with +800K votes) that governance is plagued most by arrogance and the science of omniscience, but this deserves a broader philosophical space for discussion.
Now read it (if you can and of course if you want).
Resign for the transformations of urban and rural areas.
Resign for airports!
Resign for tourism that is hitting record numbers!
Resign for the negotiations that are opening up!
Resign for the eighth intergovernmental conference.
Resign to get the economy back on track!
Resign because today you have increased salaries in almost all sectors of the economy.
Resign because today there is a peaceful protest and there is no sniper at your window!
Resign for transformations in education, healthcare, infrastructure and more.
Reality is annoying for those who live with the nostalgia of perpetual crisis.
Resign, because you turned Albania into a country that is today internationally respected.
Or think of it this way: Resign…in 2030! ??????????????????
We won't need you then, but we'll definitely remember you.
