I imagine Albania still remember what Rich arsholes playing at power has done to their country in the recent past. Goon on em standing up to corruption.

thousands now want out

Per Wikipedia:

Tens of thousands in daily protests; 100,000–200,000 at the 13 June rally; more than 250,000 estimated at the 20 June rally

And Albania has a population of 2.4 million.
