The newspaper writes that, although the event was initially presented as a private concert, it was later reported that its organization had involved an expenditure of 4.2 million euros from public funds.
The ongoing protests in Albania have also found echoes in international media. The Swiss French-language daily "Le Temps" has dedicated an article to the political situation in the country, analyzing the civic protests and the debates that have accompanied the government's recent decisions.
In its analysis, the newspaper writes that Prime Minister Edi Rama, faced with a wave of protests that it says have been going on for several weeks, has chosen a strategy that it describes as provocative. "Edi Rama is playing the provocation card," "Le Temps" is quoted as saying, referring to the reception of American rapper Kanye West in Albania.
The article also focuses on the figure of the American artist, recalling that he has been at the center of international controversy for statements considered anti-Semitic and Islamophobic, as well as for his public assessments of Adolf Hitler.
According to "Le Temps", the controversy deepened after the publication of data on the cost of organizing the concert.
The newspaper writes that, although the event was initially presented as a private concert, it was later reported that its organization had involved an expenditure of 4.2 million euros from public funds. The Swiss media links this development to the reactions of Albanian artists, who protested demanding more support for the cultural sector.
The article also mentions the reaction of Minister Blendi Gonxhja, who, according to the newspaper, dismissed the artists' criticisms, describing them as "quixotic".
In its analysis, Le Temps argues that the public discontent is not only linked to the debate over Kanye West's concert, but also to legal changes affecting protected areas. According to the newspaper, the protests, which initially focused on environmental protection, have turned into a broader movement with political demands.
Swiss media writes that the protest, described by it as the "Pink Flame Revolution", is now accompanied by demands for more transparency, institutional accountability and the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama.
