"The Economist" on the protests: Rama has seemed increasingly nervous

The prestigious media outlet "The Economist" has written an article regarding the protests in Albania. 

“Edi Rama was easily re-elected for a fourth term as Albania’s prime minister. However, in recent days, the former basketball star, usually in a good mood, has seemed increasingly nervous. Every day since May 31, thousands of protesters have taken to the streets to oppose plans for luxury beach developments involving Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law,” the magazine wrote, which says the protest has also been dubbed the “Flamingo Revolution.”

"The Economist" also describes this movement as a revolt of the younger generation, emphasizing that many young Albanians have not known a political scene without the main figures of the transition, such as Rama and opposition leader Sali Berisha.

“Some call the protests a Generation Revolt Mr. Berisha first became president of Albania in 1992. He and Mr. Rama have dominated politics for so long that no one under 40 can remember a time without them. “They see us all as old-fashioned and an establishment that needs to go,” says a friend of Mr. Rama.
