Albania protests reach 89th day demanding Edi Rama's resignation
Protests in Albania have reached their 89th consecutive day, with demonstrators gathering in Tirana to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama. The protesters are calling for a 12-month transitional or technical government to prepare the country for future elections.
Key demands from the movement include the repeal of the 'Paketa e Maleve' and the law on strategic investments. Participants have also voiced significant socio-economic grievances, specifically regarding the rising cost of living, the need for pension reform, and the impact of high prices on low-income citizens.
Critics and demonstrators have accused the administration of corruption, alleging that state decision-making is being manipulated to favor private interests, particularly within the construction sector. Some activists have called for the arrest of Edi Rama and Belinda Balluku, as well as the confiscation of their assets.
