What’s Happening in Albania? 🇦🇱 Why the Country Is Protesting
The fellow runs a language-learning channel and is based in Pogradec, Albania's 11th largest city (in the southeast, near the North Macedonian border).
He goes into the student aspect of this protest (which was catalyzed back in late May due to corruption in awarding developers permission and corruption in land claims resulting in takeover of public lands, but snowballed into just about every issue that's been going on for 30 years or more). He also goes into how corruption affects so many aspects of life and how that has made Albania the poorest country in Europe for so many years. The nation's youth and the best educated emigrate away.
