The October 24 protest in Tirana has also come to the attention of the American media Bloomberg, which reports on the expansion of the movement and the increase in demands for the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama. According to the American media, the student-led protests have been going on for nearly two weeks, while the roots of the dissatisfaction are also linked to the rallies launched months ago against the project for a luxury resort in the south of the country. Bloomberg writes that in Saturday's protest, the students were joined by lecturers, teachers, opposition representatives and other public figures.
The report also focuses on the clashes in the center of Tirana. Protesters threw stones and other objects at the police, while in some areas garbage bins were burned. The security forces used tear gas, pressurized water and rubber bullets. According to Bloomberg, the tensions did not remain only on the boulevard, but also moved to other areas of the capital. The media also recalls Rama's statements before the protest, where the prime minister said that the government was working on measures related to the cost of living, housing and economic opportunities.
