Edi Rama's intrigue between the US and the EU / Are American soldiers still protected in Albania?

At the height of the Trump administration's clash with the International Criminal Court, the Albanian government has quietly abrogated the agreement that protected American servicemen from extradition to The Hague. But an unusual maneuver with the publication of the law in the Official Gazette raises suspicions that Edi Rama is trying to please Brussels without angering Washington.

FULL VIEWS/ Thousands of people filled the streets, what happened in Tirana

"Enough! The people demand dignity, justice and change," this was one of the messages of the massive protest against the government of Prime Minister Edi Rama.

The 35th protest held this Saturday saw a massive turnout. As can be seen from the footage provided by lapsi.al, the boulevard was packed from the Prime Minister's Office to the end. 

The participation of the diaspora who landed in Tirana to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama also played a role.

Since this Saturday's protest also coincided with Prime Minister Edi Rama's birthday, there were also some symbolic "gifts".

The first was a concrete cake, a symbol of the concretization of the country's nature, accompanied by the inscription: "As many years in prison as possible." Another had brought a cake congratulating Rama in prison together with Berisha.

Then Rama's bust was toppled while others brought a coffin with the inscription "the end of politics."  

After the speeches, the protesters headed to Police Station 3 in support of the protesters detained during the protest in front of the Parliament that was accompanied by clashes.

"Without resigning, we will not stop", were their calls. The revolt is against the entire political class, while they have called for SPAK to investigate corrupt officials. "Edi Rama f*ck you", "Rama in prison, Berisha in prison", continue the protesters' calls. ©LAPSI.al

Andi Bushati: An autumn with an end-of-regime atmosphere

Whether it's his own party's own dice that throw him a punch, whether it's citizens who boo him in the street, whether it's the brave SPAK prosecutors who have gotten close to his throat, or international journalists who compare him to the godfather, one thing shows that Edi Rama's political curve has reached its end. His propaganda narrative is already over.

Blendi Kajsiu: Prime Minister's misunderstanding on anti-corruption

The fact that no institution of our public administration noticed that millions of euros were invested in phantom incinerators, that AKSHI was controlled by an ordinary criminal, that the directors of the Municipality of Tirana awarded tenders to themselves, or that the police director and the director of SHISH worked for Gysi, shows that we do not have a public administration and a state.
