Summary
Edi Rama abruptly ended a national TV interview after lashing out at anchor Sidorela Gjoni, who asked why Albania still lacks reliable water and electricity after his 13 years in power.
The clash came as protesters in Tirana demand Rama's resignation over basic service failures, turning his appearance into a fresh flashpoint rather than calming public anger.
Complaints now extend beyond utilities to healthcare, education and a political system many Albanians describe as corrupt, broadening the pressure on a government facing unrest in a country of 2.4 million.
