History of National Youth Day in Albania
National Youth Day in Albania is celebrated on December 8th every year. The holiday was established in 2016 by the Albanian parliament to commemorate the student protests that took place on December 8, 1990.
In 1990, Albania was still under communist rule and the government had banned all forms of political opposition. However, on December 8th, thousands of students took to the streets of Tirana to demand democratic reforms and an end to the one-party system.
The protests were met with violence from the government, but they continued for several days and eventually led to the resignation of the communist government and the establishment of democratic elections.
