Albania's Rama Offers Dialogue as Anti-Government Protests Continue

(MENAFN) Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama called for talks on Monday as demonstrations against his government entered their seventh consecutive day, with protesters voicing concerns over economic pressures and public affairs.

Rama placed chairs marked "Dialogue" outside his office to signal his willingness to engage with demonstrators, according to reports.

"Whoever wants dialogue, wherever they want, whenever they want, even here if they wish, I am available together with the government," Rama reportedly said.

However, the prime minister made clear that he would not negotiate with individuals involved in violence or those unwilling to distance themselves from such actions.

"The only ones who are not welcome are those who commit violence and those who do not distance themselves from violence," Rama said.

The demonstrations began on Oct. 13, initially fueled by students' concerns about education expenses, conditions at universities and their future economic opportunities.

As the protests continued, participants broadened their demands to include complaints about corruption and the increasing cost of living, reflecting wider public dissatisfaction with economic and governance issues.
