The escalation of the opposition protest in Tirana with several injured on Tuesday is echoed in the German media. Citizens are angry with the Rama government, they write.

ARD's "Tagesschau" portal, under the title "Tumult during protests in Tirana," writes that during the opposition protest in Tirana, there were serious clashes between police and government opponents.

“Thousands of people gathered in the main square on Tuesday evening to demand the resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku, who is accused of corruption. Some demonstrators threw Molotov cocktails at a government building, and police used water cannons. Political tensions escalated in December after a special prosecutor’s office filed charges against Balluku. She is accused of interfering in public tenders for major infrastructure projects and favoring certain companies. Balluku, who is also Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, denies the charges.”

The German newspaper "Die Zeit" pays attention to the protest in Albania, emphasizing its escalation.

“Clashes broke out between police and demonstrators during a protest against the Albanian government in the country’s capital, Tirana. According to police, at least 16 officers were injured and 13 people were arrested. Thousands of opposition supporters demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama’s government in a demonstration. The government has been heavily criticized over corruption allegations involving Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku. Members of parliament were called on to lift her parliamentary immunity so that she could be prosecuted. Rama had refused to dismiss Balluku.”

Meanwhile, the NTV portal writes that citizens are angry at the time when the prosecution is investigating a suspected corruption case against Deputy Prime Minister Balluku. Protests have erupted again in Tirana.

“Violent clashes erupted between police and anti-government protesters in Albania’s capital, Tirana. Thousands of people gathered in the main square on Tuesday evening, demanding the resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku, who faces corruption charges. Demonstrators, many of whom were masked, threw Molotov cocktails at a government building, prompting police to use water cannons. The unrest is the latest in a series of violent protests that have increasingly threatened the rule of Prime Minister Edi Rama, which began in 2013.”

The German radio station "Deutschland Funk" writes that in the Albanian capital, there were clashes with the police at an opposition demonstration in Tirana.

“ After a speech by right-wing opposition politician Berisha in front of the government headquarters, demonstrators threw Molotov cocktails and stones at police. Later, participants tried to break through police barricades on their way to parliament. Police responded with water cannons and tear gas.

Both political camps accuse each other of corruption. Berisha is accused of awarding public contracts to associates, which he denies. On Wednesday, a parliamentary committee is scheduled to discuss the request from the public prosecutor’s office to lift the immunity of Deputy Prime Minister Balluku. The request concerns allegations of her involvement in a corruption case related to public contracts .”/DW
