Reuters has echoed the opposition's third national protest in front of the Prime Minister's Office, saying that their continuation poses a threat to the stability of Prime Minister Edi Rama's government.

Full text: 

Anti-government protesters clashed with police in Albania's capital, Tirana, on Tuesday evening as thousands of people gathered to demand the resignation of the deputy prime minister over suspected corruption.

Demonstrators threw Molotov cocktails at a government building and police responded with water cannons, in a series of violent protests that pose a threat to the stability of Prime Minister Edi Rama's long rule, which began in 2013.

Political tensions have escalated since December, after a special prosecution unit filed charges against Rama's deputy, Belinda Balluku, for alleged interference in public tenders for major infrastructure projects and favoring certain companies, charges that Balluku denies.

Thousands of people in the main square in Tirana held flags and banners and chanted “Rama go home, this corrupt government must resign.” Special police in riot gear protected the government building.

The Special Prosecution Office, tasked with fighting corruption and organized crime, has requested that parliament lift Balluk's immunity this week to enable her arrest.

It is not clear when parliament, where Rama's ruling party has a majority, is expected to vote, or if it will vote at all.
