Every evening at 7 p.m., protesters return to the same square in the Albanian capital, Tirana, with the same symbols, making the same demands.
More than three weeks of uninterrupted daily demonstrations have turned the "Flamingo Revolution" into Albania's largest civic protest movement since the fall of communism.
It began when a government-approved luxury tourism project in Zvernec, a protected coastal area in southern Albania, triggered protests that soon evolved into a broader political movement.
Initially driven by environmental concerns, the demonstrations have expanded into broader demands, including calls for the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama.
Rama rejects the idea that the unrest can be explained by domestic political grievances alone. Instead, he argues that the protests are unfolding within what he describes as a "hybrid war" driven by external influences and digital manipulation.
