Albania's streets erupt in protests, demanding Prime Minister Rama's resignation. The capital, Tirana, witnessed a tense standoff as demonstrators clashed with police, fueled by a corruption scandal involving the deputy prime minister. The protests, which began with peaceful chants, escalated into a violent confrontation, with protesters throwing Molotov cocktails and fireworks at the prime minister's office. The opposition Democratic Party's leader, Sali Berisha, vowed to hold Rama accountable, accusing him of plunging the country into poverty and corruption. The unrest, condemned by the Interior Minister as vandalism, has led to arrests and a heightened sense of political tension. With a strong parliamentary majority and a focus on EU accession, Rama's Socialist Party faces calls for transparency and accountability amidst the growing public outcry.
