Why are the student protests escalating in Albania? Edi Rama is rumored to be talking about Antifa, experts see it differently

In Albania, student protests have escalated into violent clashes with police, initially sparked by plans for a luxury hotel in a protected area. Protesters demand the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama, citing corruption and rising education costs. The protests, which began peacefully, have seen students organizing through social media rather than traditional political structures. Rama has accused external influences, including Antifa, of inciting the unrest, a claim experts dispute due to lack of evidence. Critics argue that the protests stem from genuine socio-economic grievances rather than radical ideologies, emphasizing the demand for Rama's resignation rather than a revolutionary agenda. The government's response has been characterized by police violence and attempts to delegitimize the protests.
