Tirana Erupts as Corruption Scandal Triggers Nationwide Unrest

 

Supporters of the opposition attend an anti-government protest, in Tirana, Albania, December 22, 2025. 


Mass protests have broken out across Albania after corruption charges were brought against a senior government official, intensifying political tensions in the country. Demonstrators filled the streets of Tirana, rallying outside government buildings and demanding accountability from national leaders.

The charges, which relate to alleged misuse of public funds in major infrastructure projects, have sparked widespread anger among citizens who accuse the government of failing to curb corruption. Protesters clashed with police as security forces used tear gas and water cannons to disperse crowds, leading to multiple injuries and arrests.

Government officials have denied wrongdoing and described the accusations as politically motivated, but opposition groups argue that the scandal reflects deeper systemic issues. Calls for resignations have grown louder as the unrest continues, with no clear sign of de-escalation.

The crisis has raised concerns about Albania’s political stability at a time when the country is seeking to advance its bid for European Union membership. Observers warn that prolonged turmoil could complicate reform efforts and further erode public trust in state institutions.
