Albania Imposes Fines Amid Ongoing Anti-Government Protests and Parliamentary Disruptions
Albania has introduced fines up to 5,500 euros for individuals involved in violent protests or concealing their identity during demonstrations in Tirana, where anti-government protests have persisted since May. The unrest, initially sparked by opposition to a luxury hotel project linked to US President Trump's family, expanded to broader grievances including corruption and economic concerns. Opposition lawmakers disrupted a parliamentary session with flares and chants demanding Prime Minister Edi Rama's resignation amid ongoing clashes between protesters and police. The new measures also empower police to restrict gatherings and sanction online incitement, pending parliamentary approval.
