Today marks 34 years since the events of December 1990 that marked the shock of the communist regime in Albania.
About 300 students started what was later called Student Movement '90. Organized, they marched from the 'Student City' towards the center of Tirana. They became the initiators of the great historical turning point of the country, standing up in protests that brought about the fall of the communist system and the arrival of democracy.
With the expression "We love Albania like all of Europe", the young people demanded the establishment of the system of Western values and the rule of law; integration in Europe and guaranteeing political pluralism as the main basis for a free and democratic society.
That night, their ranks had increased minute by minute and the crowd had reached up to 1000 people.
The protests would continue until December 11, when political pluralism was confirmed in a meeting with the then president of Albania, Ramiz Ali, which was announced immediately after returning from that meeting, starting the organization for the establishment of the Democratic Party.
The Student Movement would continue with organizations and protests in the first days of 1991 until the days of the hunger strike, culminating at noon on February 20, 1991, when the students, supported by the teachers and many citizens of Tirana, landed in Skënderbej Square, finally overthrowing communist dictatorship.
