The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha , has called on children and young people to boycott classes and start protests to oppose the closure of Tik Tok by the government of Prime Minister Edi Rama .
Berisha made the comments through a statement to the media, where, among other things, he called on them to participate in the March 15 protest for the closure of TikTok .
He also guaranteed the students that no school or teacher would dare take action against them, because otherwise, according to him, they would face the strictest legal consequences.
" The protest of pupils, students and young people in front of the Prime Minister's Office on the 15th will be the most beautiful and magnificent protest that Albania has seen to date. The protest against censorship, the protest that every child of any age who has a smartphone faces, comes out, becomes a fighter against the dictatorship in defense of TikTok and against censorship."
I tell these young people that where censorship begins, dictatorship begins, and regardless of your young age, you, by your act of participating in the protest, become fighters against the narco-dictatorship of Edi Rama, who has a terrible legacy.
I have another call, to start boycotting lessons. It's worth it, dear children, dear young men and women, whoever imposes censorship on you is trampling on your future. And therefore, to protect you, it's not TikTok's problem, it's TikTok's problem that it's the most modern program.
The problem is that a man without any, without any law decides to "hang" Tiktok on "Skënderbeg" Square because you criticize TikTok, then you have the right to start strikes and your strike is to boycott classes on Monday, for example, the first hour. It would be a great thing to miss as much as possible.
I urge parents not to send their children to school on Monday, at least for the first hour, as an act of your children's fight for freedom of expression and against censorship.
Then I'll leave it up to you to take it to Tuesday, but I wanted you to start it on Monday with a first-hour boycott.
"And I guarantee that no school or teacher will dare to take action against you because they will face the strictest legal consequences. The right to strike is a constitutional right ," Berisha said.
