Unrest in Albania Over Alleged Corruption Scandal

For months, violent protests have regularly erupted in the capital, Tirana, against alleged corruption scandals and links between high-level Albanian politicians and organized crime. Protesters demand the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama, who denies the allegations.

Two police officers were injured as protests outside parliament turned violent. The protests led to clashes with the police, with burning barricades, tear gas, and even attempts to set fire to government buildings.

The unrest is also driven by the Albanian right-wing opposition Democratic Party of Albania, one of the two main parties in Albania, alongside the Social Democratic Party of Prime Minister Edi Rama.

The turmoil started and is running in parallel with an Italy-Albania deal to take 36,000 migrants from Italy, which has met with outrage from the Albanian right-wing. Italy's influence in Albanian politics is seen by some as a continuation of its occupation of the country in the 20th century.
