AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Tirana Unrest: Anti-government protests entered a sixth day on Sunday, with demonstrators demanding Prime Minister Edi Rama’s resignation over corruption, education and jobs. Police used tear gas and water cannons as crowds gathered near the Education Ministry; the Health Ministry said 28 people, including 19 police officers, received treatment that day. A police station was also attacked, injuring 10 officers. Political Fallout: Rama again refused to resign, saying the unrest threatens Albania’s EU accession ambitions and blaming outside forces. He canceled a planned visit to Vienna as the crisis continued. Calls for Restraint: More than 300 university academics urged Rama to step down and called for a caretaker government, while the European Commission condemned the violence and urged restraint. Both protesters’ attacks on institutions and alleged disproportionate police force have drawn criticism.
