Albania: Fresh clashes in Tirana as students reject Rama's measures

Fresh clashes erupted in Tirana as student protests continue, with demonstrators burning chairs and papers outside the prime minister's office in rejection of Edi Rama's dialogue offer. Rama announced a six-measure legal package against violence and destruction. The package includes high fines for violent acts, amendments to assembly laws, an electronic registry for criminal offenders, and sanctions against teachers organizing minors' participation in protests. The opposition Democratic Party condemned the measures as unconstitutional, with leader Gazmend Bardhi calling Rama a "thief dictator." Former Prime Minister Sali Berisha said the package won't stop the protests and reiterated calls for Rama's resignation. The student demonstrations have escalated into open political confrontation, with police deploying heavily across the Albanian capital.
