DW short on the cop violence again the night before last. Unfortunately, it does not have audio description. The video shows the effect of what protestors said the cops did - used pepper spray, but also had something mixed in the water cannon that really irritated skin. What some protestors are doing is throwing eggs at police who have armor & shields. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SW7v7I2LxT4 #Albania #Corruption #Balkans #Europe #FlamingoRevolution #Environment #Protest

Tomorrow the last (Parliamentary) session/ "You don't represent us!", citizens again confront in front of the Parliament Nesër seanca e fundit/ “S’na përfaqësoni!”, qytetarët sërish përballje para Kuvendit The Parliamentary session was scheduled for July 30, but they were afraid protestors would be there so they moved it to Monday July 27. Protestors will be there. The news report says it's likely the ramped up cop weaponry should be expected as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JrEm4elhzU #Albania #Corruption #Balkans #Europe #FlamingoRevolution #Environment #Protest

Day 58 of anti-corruption protest in Tirana, Albania It's raining, but protestors are expected out because Parliament met early to try to evade protest. Last night protestors announced they'd be out today so the MPs couldn't escape public account. The cops are out in riot gear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-4gr2v8E9g #Albania #Corruption #Balkans #Europe #FlamingoRevolution #Environment #Protest

Day 58 of anti-corruption protest in Tirana, Albania (and second meeting of today - they protested outside a session of Parliament earlier today, then reassembled for the nightly march...it's understandable crowd sizes would vary and that people would be tired, but they keep on) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRl9PvsjWFY #Albania #Corruption #Balkans #Europe #FlamingoRevolution #Environment #Protest

Day 54 of anti-corruption protest in Tirana, Albania I'm not sure what happened, but it seems like police have ramped up their response again. Protests mostly have been happening in the evenings, but there have been day events when protestors have had to support protestors cops brutalized and snatched away, and also when there are particular Parliamentary events where the protestors want to confront MPs with their corruption. #Albania #Corruption #Balkans #Europe #FlamingoRevolution #Environment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FES5uF0hXhs

Machine translation: "Elderly woman tries to block the road, police drag her away. Here's what happens at the protest in front of the Parliament Jul 23, 2026 at 9:32 AM A moment of tension was recorded during the protest in front of the Parliament, where an elderly woman tried to block the Elbasan road, while she was faced with the intervention of police forces. According to footage from the scene, the officers intervened to remove the woman from the blocked area, dragging her on the asphalt.

Machine translation of headline: "Barbaric violence against citizens during the protest, protesters throw eggs and police use tear gas" Surprisingly, this network calls out that the cops were prepared to be violent and that plainclothes cops were planted in the crowd, but crossed over once their buddies started shit. They say the cops were also trying to keep the media from getting outside of the corral and filming what was happening to protestors. They targeted press. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUNDENanAdk #Albania #Corruption #Balkans #Europe #FlamingoRevolution #Environment

Albania Takes a Step Closer to Adopting the Euro "Albania is preparing the legal framework for the adoption of the euro as its national currency. A new draft law on the Bank of Albania, released for public consultation, includes for the first time a dedicated chapter regulating the central bank’s role once the country joins the Eurozone. The draft stipulates that, once the euro is officially adopted as the currency of the Republic of Albania, it will replace the Albanian lek as the country’s monetary unit. The Bank of Albania will be responsible for issuing and withdrawing euro banknotes and coins in accordance with European Union legislation and the rules of the European Central Bank." https://euronews.al/en/albania-takes-a-step-closer-to-adopting-the-euro/ #Albania #Balkans #EU #Europe

Day 50 of anti-corruption protests in Tirana, Albania You have to admire how Albanians have gotten out on the streets in their hundreds and sometimes in the thousands for 50 days straight now. I've never witnessed anything that coalesced like this each day that lasted as long (that is, it's not an encampment or sit-in). Looks like a light turnout tonight, but that's normal after a big weekend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAxpV1PiNfE Albania #Corruption #Balkans #Europe #FlamingoRevolution #Environment
