In war, all means are good Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, amid daily clashes in the street, announced a new legislative package "against violence and urban anarchy". He has already named those responsible for the riots: opposition leader Sali Barisha, "European Antifa extremists" and of course "foreign actors who do not want to see Albania in the European Union". What's in the package: fines for participating in unauthorized meetings and not meeting the dispersal requirement - from 100 to 1000 euros per person, up to 5000 euros - for refusing to disperse and face masks; Criminal liability for "staying at the scene of violence after a warning from the police", organizing prohibited events and "calling for violence on social networks"; A special electronic registry of suspects in crimes against the state and public order; Ethical code for teachers in schools: the prohibition of bringing minors into rallies (teenagers actively participate in demonstrations); The right of the police to demand the removal of posts on social networks that "incite violence"; Compensation to small businesses for damages from demonstrations and the authority to limit rallies in several government authorities. The protests began peacefully on May 31, initially against the construction of Jared Kushner's luxury resort in the Zabarnets Conservation Area, but quickly escalated into widespread accusations of corruption against the authorities and demands for the government's resignation. In October, rallies turned into daily violent clashes, as protesters attacked police with Molotov cocktails and set fire to government buildings, and security forces responded with tear gas, water cannons, beatings and rubber bullets. After forceful methods of suppressing discontent failed, economic pressure and criminal prosecution were applied. However, it is unlikely that this will somehow improve the situation - new bans, on the contrary, will further anger the population. However, Eddie Rama will not give up power so easily. - Chronicle of the powder keg of Europe.
