Tensions escalated during the latest anti-government protest in Tirana after claims emerged that six members of the ruling Socialist Party (PS) are allegedly prepared to distance themselves from Prime Minister Edi Rama’s government and push for a parliamentary vote of confidence.
The statement was made from the stage during the demonstration, where a protester addressed the crowd and suggested that internal dissent within the governing majority is growing.
According to the claim, the six MPs are reportedly considering stepping away from full support of the executive branch and could contribute to triggering a formal confidence process in Parliament. However, no official confirmation or public statements from any Socialist Party deputies have been released to support this assertion.
The allegation quickly became one of the most discussed points of the protest, as it was presented as evidence of potential fractures within the governing majority.
The speaker urged lawmakers from both the Socialist Party (PS) and the opposition Democratic Party (PD) to reconsider their positions, arguing that political responsibility required action amid growing public dissatisfaction.
“Your time is coming. We are making history—for a republic that serves its people, not one individual who behaves like a tyrant,” the protester said, linking the alleged parliamentary dissent to broader calls for political change.
The claim regarding the six MPs has not been independently verified and remains a political allegation raised during the protest rather than an established parliamentary development.
The rally formed part of the 36th nationwide protest against the Albanian government, with participants continuing to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama and political reforms.
