Edi Rama respinge apelurile la demisie pe fondul protestelor din Albania: Este în joc aderarea la UE • Newsweek România

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama dismissed calls for his resignation amid widespread protests, asserting that these demonstrations jeopardize the country's EU accession path. Protests, driven by student dissatisfaction over government corruption and poor educational conditions, have escalated in Tirana and other cities. Rama emphasized that the real challenge is Albania's mission towards EU membership, urging citizens to consider their priorities. The protests have led to violent clashes, with police using tear gas and rubber bullets. Rama also suggested foreign interests might be behind the unrest, although he provided no evidence for this claim. Albania aims to join the EU by 2030, alongside Montenegro.
