PM Rama Faces Biggest Challenge as Campus Unrest Spreads Across Albania

Prime Minister Edi Rama, serving his fourth term, now confronts the largest domestic crisis of his tenure. Students are demanding better facilities, lower tuition fees and the prime minister’s resignation, accusing his government of neglecting higher‑education concerns. Rama responded that his mandate comes from the democratic elections held last year and that any change must be pursued through the ballot box, not through street violence. He reiterated a commitment to address rising education costs while condemning the damage to public and private property.
