Albania protests erupt after Deputy PM scandal

Protests broke out in Albania’s capital, Tirana, on Monday after Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku was indicted for alleged corruption. Citizens demanded accountability, throwing petrol bombs at the government building while police stood by in riot gear, maintaining order without retaliation.

The allegations accuse Balluku and several officials of using state funds to benefit private companies in major road, bridge, and tunnel projects. Balluku denied wrongdoing last month, calling the claims “half-truths and lies,” and pledged full cooperation with the judiciary. Parliament must now vote on lifting her immunity.

Tensions have risen as the Special Prosecution Office seeks Balluku’s arrest, citing embezzlement worth millions of euros. Protesters criticized the government’s slow response, demanding reforms to ensure transparency and fair use of public funds in infrastructure development.

Albania’s ruling party, holding the parliamentary majority, faces criticism as opposition groups push for stricter oversight. Experts warn that ongoing unrest could affect investor confidence, while citizens continue to gather peacefully, showing strong support for political accountability.

The situation highlights Albania’s struggle to fight corruption and strengthen democratic institutions. Parliament’s upcoming decisions could set key precedents, and continued monitoring is essential to maintain stability and restore public trust in governance.
