Bulgarian MEP Reacts to Protests in Tirana: “Young People Want More Than Promises”

A reaction from Brussels has amplified the protests in Tirana. Bulgarian MEP Andrey Kovatchev said that young people in Albania are demanding more than promises, emphasizing accountability, an end to corruption, and the right to challenge those in power peacefully. In a post on social network X, Kovatchev said that Albanian young people are not simply asking for political statements, but for concrete responsibility from those who govern. In his reaction, he stressed that the demand for a European future is tied to democracy and the rule of law, not only to political rhetoric. This is a signal that reads the discontent on the ground as an issue of democratic standards and not merely as a momentary tension.
