Various ironic banners accompanied the 58th protest against the government and Prime Minister Edi Rama, where citizens continued to convey their messages to the government and institutions.

"There is no reaction to Belinda's thefts, there is an immediate ban on Cola with a megaphone!", reads the protesters' banner.
