Albania anti-government protest

Thousands of Albanians gather outside the prime minister’s office in the capital city to demonstrate against the rising costs of living in the Balkan country. The protest was organized by the opposition Democratic Party of Albania. People gathered in the capital Tirana to rally against soaring prices and denounce the policies of the government. Earlier this year, the government introduced some measures for fiscal relief. However, Albanians don't find that to be enough to alleviate the rising cost of living. Based on national statistics, a third of Albanian citizens live below the poverty line and many complain that high prices are too hard to bear. The cost of foodstuff, fuel, and energy have increased following the war in Ukraine.
