Albanese prime minister promises fines of over 5,500 euros, yet there is protest

Protesters in Albania demonstrated against the government, setting fire to chairs placed by Prime Minister Rama as an invitation for dialogue. Rama introduced new measures to curb violence, including hefty fines for participants in violent protests. The demonstrators demand his resignation, which Rama dismissed, acknowledging some of their grievances. Protests have been fueled by anger over alleged government corruption, job shortages, and poor education, escalating into riots with vandalism. These ongoing demonstrations represent a significant challenge for Rama's administration since he took office in 2013.
