Student revolt calling for Rama’s departure / German MEP: Citizens protest against corruption and the government

In a post on X, German MEP Michael Gahler, the European People’s Party (EPP) Group’s foreign policy spokesperson in the European Parliament, commented on the student protest in Albania.

Gahler raised concerns about links between the state, the ruling party and organized crime, as well as citizens’ protests against corruption and the government.

“While leading the European Parliament’s (EP) election observer delegation, I witnessed links between the state, the ruling party and organized crime. I have seen how long citizens have been protesting against corruption and the government, raising concerns that go to the heart of Albania’s prospects for European integration,” the German MEP said.
