The Hashtag Initiative or simply # Initiative (Albanian: Nisma Thurje, NTH) is a centrist political movement in Albania was founded after the student protests of 2018 under the leadership of Endri Shabani. Τhe initiative was instrumental in exposing the incinerator scandal.
In 2019, the then leaders of Nisma Thurje, Endri Shabani, Pano Soko, Erion Kristo and Mirush Kabashi toured the country demanding a series of constitutional amendments discussed in the party's charter of 2020. Following the change of the electoral code in 2020, they registered in the 2021 parliamentary elections. According to the party's charter in 2020, their political manifesto is underpinned by three pillars: equal opportunities for progress, participatory democracy and national solidarity.
In November 2025, Nisma Thurje signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Volt Albania to merge under Volt Europa as Nisma Volt, with full unification expected by May 2026.
