Main Points
Prime Minister Edi Rama called for dialogue with protesters several hours before a planned demonstration, leaving invitations on a table outside the Prime Minister’s office. The invitations, marked with the word “dialogue,” were posted on a table that had previously been covered with a blanket. In a video posted to social media, Rama greeted viewers with “Good morning” and urged citizens to engage in discussion. Protesters, however, continued to refuse the Prime Minister’s offers to sit down and listen to their concerns. The government’s call for dialogue has been repeated each morning, but the opposition has not responded. Rama has attributed the violence in the protests to the influence of foreign forces, citing the involvement of students and other citizens who may have specific grievances. To curb the violence, the government has introduced measures aimed at tightening restrictions, imposing fines, and punishing violent protesters and their supporters. In recent days, the intensity of the protests and the number of participants have fallen sharply. Only a small group of people remained on the boulevard during the latest demonstration.
