His visit has been met with protests from demonstrators in New York, mirroring the persistent anti-government rallies ongoing for 118 days in Tirana, which demand his resignation amidst various scandals. Meanwhile, the high-profile probe into former intelligence chief Vlora Hyseni and businessman Ergys Agasi continues to unfold, prompting new political statements and allegations. Figures like Vangjeli, Murrizi, and Minister Ismaili have engaged in public discourse regarding Hyseni's actions and alleged ties to Agasi, with Prime Minister Rama's political responsibility also being scrutinized. In other domestic news, the Albanian Parliament is debating a territorial reform, which faces opposition from public figures, including actors, lawyers, and writers, particularly concerning the proposed merger of the Patos municipality with Fier. Separately, authorities have reported a drug bust in Lushnjë where cocaine was allegedly sold using food delivery motorbikes, and an incident in Lezhë where a youth was injured in a dispute over car repair payments.
