Albania: Protesters call for PM Edi Rama’s resignation

When 20,000 protesters tried to enter Albania’s parliament, police responded with water cannons and tear gas.

Supporters of Albania‘s opposition have fought with police while trying to storm parliament to confront a government they accuse of being corrupt.

They also say Prime Minister Edi Rama is linked to organised crimes, allegations he rejects as “ridiculous”.
