🥚 Protests

Prime Minister Edi Rama has launched a new podcast, 'Flasim,' and engaged in extensive interviews, outlining his commitment to his current role and stating he has no intention of choosing a successor. This new communication initiative by the head of government comes as anti-government protests continue, marking their 99th day with demonstrators vowing to escalate actions, including throwing eggs at Parliament. In related developments, concerns over digital censorship have resurfaced, with Meta acknowledging that it mistakenly closed the Instagram accounts of several Albanian activists, a move that has alarmed Albanian journalists. Meanwhile, law enforcement successfully concluded a major operation in Sarandë, arresting key figures involved in drug distribution. On the environmental front, fires in Peshtan and Frakull have been localized, with the situation now under control, while Prime Minister Rama visited the site of a massive fire in Himarë where 340 soldiers were deployed. Separately, residents in Frakull are protesting against severe pollution in their area.
