"Albania on alert"/ Daily Mail on protests against Rama: Government

The British newspaper Daily Mail has dedicated an article to recent developments in Albania, focusing on the protests taking place in Tirana against Edi Rama's government, student demands for the prime minister's removal, and new punitive measures against people present at gatherings where acts of violence or looting occur.

According to British media, the protests are taking on wider dimensions, while at the center of citizens' dissatisfaction are concerns about corruption, problems in the healthcare system and the lack of prospects for young people. The students, according to reports, are demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama.

The article also focuses on the new measures approved by the majority, which, according to the Daily Mail, provide for fines of up to $6,000 for people who are in crowds where acts of violence or robbery are committed, even in cases where they do not directly participate in these actions.

In addition to fines, the measures give police the ability to restrict gatherings in areas deemed high-risk. The British newspaper's reporting comes at a time when protests in Tirana have been accompanied by clashes between demonstrators and police, while student demands have focused on the government's political accountability and Rama's removal from office.
