Albanian opposition leader Sali Berisha again calls for the resignation of the prime minister at a march in Tirana

MADRID, 13 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Thousands of people have taken to the streets of the Albanian capital, Tirana, to demonstrate against the Socialist Party of Albania (PS) led by Prime Minister Edi Rama, the latest in a series of opposition-led protests

The demonstration, which took place in front of the Parliament building last night, did not register any type of violent incident. Previous protests were directed against sharp price increases, including fuel prices, as well as the lack of jobs and opportunities for the citizens of Albania.

As in recent months, these rallies have been led by opposition leader Sali Berisha, leader of the nationalist Democratic Party (PD), who described Rama, in office since 2013, as "an enemy of freedom and the right to vote." " after accusing him of repression, electoral fraud and corruption.

"Edi Rama, do not forget the tradition of the Albanians for freedom. Woe to those who touch their freedom, woe to those who touch their vote! We will never forgive him," Berisha shouted during the protest, picked up by the Klan chain.

The protest was the latest in a series that began in July with the aim of overthrowing the Rama government. Berisha, 78, was the first president elected in free elections in 1992 after the fall of the communist regime.

He then served as prime minister from 2005 to 2013 and led the PD until 2013, before being ousted by Lulzim Basha. In May this year, he returned to the top of the party after a power struggle with Basha.
