TIRANA, November 9 /ATSH/ – A group of citizens continued their protest this evening in front of the Prime Minister’s Office. Now in its 163rd consecutive day, the demonstration holds firm to its core demands: the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama and the removal of the old political establishment. Protesters have ruled out any dialogue with the head of government, emphasizing that they will remain outside the office until their demands are fully met.
Meanwhile, a new legislative package aimed at curbing urban violence has officially taken effect. Comprising six legal instruments, the package focuses on preventing violence, protecting public and private property, and increasing individual accountability for those who cause damage during public gatherings.
Under these amendments, individuals responsible for property damage will be required to pay for the repairs. Additionally, the legislation introduces fines of up to 500,000 lek for anyone who conceals their identity or fails to comply with police orders during demonstrations. /m.m/a.f/r.e/p.s./
