Bulqiza residents continued their protest on forest protection even on Thursday.
About 1,000 people gathered to the town hall with banners in their hands.
The protesters demanded the annulment of the concession for the use of the centuries-long forest massif in Bulqiza.
The protest, alongside civil society and ordinary citizens, was also supported by boxing champions, the Keta brothers.
The protest was interrupted by the former Chairman of the town hall council, Ali Shehu, who said that the municipality doesn't own an agreement for granting usage permit to the concessionary company.
5 days ago were the women of the villages of Bulqiza protested by climbing to the mountain, where the forest massif is located.
