Rama in the midst of the riots made a serious accusation: I know who is behind the protests and what their goal is

Albania is experiencing escalating protests led by students and young people who are demanding reforms in education and higher wages at universities. The demonstrations, which began peacefully, have turned increasingly violent, with protesters breaking windows, attacking police, and causing damage across cities like Tirana, Lezhë, Elbasan, and Korçë. Students accuse the government of corruption and neglecting education, while also criticizing the sale of untouched coastal areas for a luxury resort project linked to Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law. Prime Minister Edi Rama has called for calm but faces pressure to resign as the unrest continues. Business owners have expressed support for the protesters, urging them not to destroy local commerce. Analysts note that youth disillusionment stems from perceived elite control over resources and ongoing corruption scandals that hinder Albania’s EU accession efforts.
