Albanian Diaspora Protests Against Edi Rama During His Visit to Dublin, Chanting “Rama Go!”

 Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama faced protests from members of the Albanian diaspora during his visit to Dublin, Ireland, where he is attending the European Political Community (EPC) Summit on November 12, 2026.

 

The gathering has brought together more than 50 heads of state and government from across Europe, with discussions focusing on security, political cooperation and the common challenges facing the continent.

However, Rama’s presence in the Irish capital has also drawn opposition from members of the Albanian community living abroad. Demonstrators gathered to express their dissatisfaction with his government, chanting “Rama ik!” (Rama Go!) in protest against the Albanian prime minister.

The protesters voiced their opposition to Rama’s leadership and questioned his role in representing Albania on the international stage, arguing that his presence at the summit does not reflect their views or concerns about the country's political direction.

The demonstration highlights how domestic political disagreements in Albania continue to resonate among parts of the Albanian diaspora, including communities living far beyond the country's borders.
