Albanian PM says protesters crossed a 'red line' after police station set ablaze

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama declared protesters crossed a "red line" Monday after a police station was set ablaze during anti-government demonstrations, vowing dialogue only with those who renounce violence. The unrest has escalated since Tuesday, with hundreds injured in clashes. Demonstrators, including students demanding better university conditions and an end to corruption, have targeted government buildings with stones and petrol bombs, prompting riot police to use water cannons and tear gas. Rama pledged a 2,500-euro bonus and salary increases for officers, while blaming "foreign hands" for the unrest. Rama accused Russia and Iran of driving misinformation online, citing "tens of thousands of fake profiles" linked to Tehran. The protests, which began over a resort development tied to US President Donald Trump's family, have drawn hundreds to Tirana's main square demanding Rama's resignation.
