Protests rock Albanian capital, calling for PM’s resignation
Opposition lawmakers and supporters brought Albania’s capital, Tirana, to a standstill on Tuesday, blocking major roads and demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama’s government.
A light-hearted AI-generated video featuring baby versions of world leaders stole the spotlight at the European Political Community summit in Tirana, Albania. More than 40 leaders—including Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Denmark’s Mette Frederiksen—were greeted by animated infant versions of themselves saying “Welcome to Albania” in their native languages. Italian PM Meloni burst into laughter, while Erdoğan’s baby avatar—complete with mustache—prompted a rare smile.
