Protestors are asking for clarity and transparency when it comes to the process of their expropriation. The majority are afraid of losing their homeownership rights, accusing the government of treating them as <em>illegals<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Citizens from other neighborhoods like Lapraka and Paskuqan have also joined the protest as they fear that the same thing could happen to them as well.<\/p>\n<p>The City\u2019s recent plans to build a new road axis that passes through these neighborhoods could mean that very soon, it could be their turn to give up on their homes in exchange for some form of compensation which they fear could be unreasonable.<\/p>\n<p>5 Maji residents staged their first protest on January 19, when the state-ordered demolition operation was first executed, forcing citizens out of their homes. Close to 500 homes will be demolished as part of the City\u2019s new project.<\/p>\n<p>The government&#8217;s reasoning for these demolitions ranges from the need to reconstruct these homes due to damages presumably caused by the 2019 earthquake, all the way to the City\u2019s plans to redevelop the area and build an entirely new neighborhood to replace the old one.<\/p>\n<p>Residents claim that they\u2019ve been forced out of their homes without signing a contract that would guarantee that they will become homeowners in this new neighborhood. They claim that they\u2019ve been treated unfairly and many say they\u2019ve become homeless as a result.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, 5 Maji residents protested before the Parliament building and the US and EU embassies in the capital city.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2022\/01\/29\/residents-of-5-maji-street-protest-against-home-demolitions\/\">Residents of 5 Maji street protest against home demolitions<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/programs\/today\/2022\/01\/19\/what-is-the-current-situation-at-the-5-maji-street\/\">What is the current situation at the 5 Maji street?<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2022\/01\/19\/they-kicked-us-out-of-our-homes-5-maji-residents-we-never-signed-anything\/\">\u2018They kicked us out of our homes\u2019, 5 Maji residents: We never signed up for this!<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 Maji residents are continuing their protest today by gathering before the PM\u2019s Office to hold the government responsible for the demolition of their homes.
