Protests Erupt in Tirana Over Political Tensions
TIRANA, Albania — Police clashed with protesters Tuesday in the Albanian capital after demonstrators shot fireworks and hurled petrol bombs at the office of Prime Minister Edi Rama. The unrest occurred during an opposition rally demanding Rama’s resignation.
The protests reflect escalating political tensions in the country that have intensified since December, when the deputy prime minister faced indictment over allegations of corruption.
Authorities responded to the escalating situation by deploying additional police forces to the area. As protests continued, a significant police presence aimed to maintain order and protect government buildings.
The political climate in Albania remains charged, with opposition leaders calling for accountability and a change in leadership as discontent grows among citizens.
