A group of Albanian parents who describe themselves as independent of political parties has launched an initiative through a petition addressed to Prime Minister Edi Rama and the Parliament of Albania, calling for changes in the country’s direction and political accountability for the scandals reported in state institutions.
The initiators demand Rama’s resignation, as well as the removal of the Minister of Interior, arguing that senior government leaders must bear responsibility for corruption cases that, according to them, have involved high-ranking officials and state institutions.
In the petition, the demand for Rama’s resignation is linked to his political responsibility for the scandals that have affected government representatives. As for the Minister of Interior, the parents raise concerns about the activity of the State Police and cases of violence against protesters, for which they call for accountability at the leadership level.
In addition to the departure of the two officials, the petition also includes a proposal for the creation of a transitional government, with a defined and limited mandate. Through this initiative, the parents aim to demand accountability from political leaders and changes in the way institutions are run, stressing that their stance is not linked to party affiliation.
