Protests in Albania Demand PM Rama’s Resignation

Violence erupted in Tirana as protesters demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama, clashing with police who used tear gas and water cannons. The unrest, sparked by corruption investigations involving Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku, saw demonstrators hurling Molotov cocktails and chanting against Rama. Around 30 arrests were made amid the chaos, with opposition leader Sali Berisha condemning the government’s actions. Rama’s Socialist Party maintains a majority, amidst ongoing allegations of corruption within Albanian politics.
