German MEP Michael Gahler expressed concern about developments in Albania and the protests against Prime Minister Edi Rama during a meeting of the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Gahler described the citizens’ protests as fully justified, raising concerns about corruption and the issue of former Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku’s immunity, which was defended by the Socialist Party.

He also said that forming a caretaker government would help ease the political situation and restore citizens’ confidence in the holding of free and fair elections.
“For political reasons, the former deputy prime minister’s immunity is not being lifted. These protests are creating difficulties for both the government and the opposition. People are satisfied with neither side. Perhaps a caretaker government could be a solution to restore calm, giving people hope that the next elections can be free, fair and corruption-free,” he said.
