Albania's Opposition Party Call National Protest Against Government

TIRANA, ALBANIA - FEBRUARY 20: Leader of Albanian opposition Sali Berisha addresses his supporters during an anti Government protest in front of Albanian Prime Minister's office on February 20, 2026 in Tirana, Albania. Today's protest, called for by Democratic Party of Albania, comes after weeks of political tension over corruption charges brought against Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure Belinda Balluku, in relation to public tenders for infrastructure projects. The demonstration coincides with the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Enver Hoxha statue (February 20, 1991), which symbolised the end of the communist dictatorship in Albania.
