Albania - September 2023

Prime Minister Edi Rama has replaced seven ministers, including the Ministers of Finance and Foreign Affairs following multiple corruption scandals involving his political associates. During a speech, Rama highlighted the importance of the institutions in the fight against corruption at all levels and urged ministers to uphold honesty. This represents one of the most extensive cabinet reshuffles since the Socialist Party assumed office in 2013. Some political analysts believe that this reshuffling is symbolic and might not signify genuine change.
