Albania's Special Court Against Corruption and Organized Crime (GJKKO) has implemented a new regulation that severely restricts media access, including prohibitions on phone, audio recorder use, and camera presence. This move has sparked unified opposition from both domestic and international journalist associations, who view it as a direct threat to press freedom and a form of censorship.
Meanwhile, thousands of citizens participated in the 94th anti-government protest, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama. These demonstrations continue amidst reports that the country's economy is experiencing record inflation, drought, and price increases across Europe.
In other developments, Prime Minister Edi Rama has launched a new initiative dubbed 'PasqyrAlbania', while also reportedly reinforcing the state's propaganda apparatus in response to ongoing challenges, including the 'Flamingo Revolution' protests.
