Albania's student protests are only getting bigger

Protests in Albania, driven by student discontent over corruption and education issues, have intensified, with Prime Minister Edi Rama attributing unrest to external influences like 'antifa.' Despite his claims, many view the protests as a response to socioeconomic challenges rather than ideological extremism. The youth organize primarily through social media, which complicates government control. Critics argue Rama's accusations serve to deflect attention from the protesters' legitimate grievances and justify police violence. The central demand remains the resignation of Rama, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction with the current government.
