Opposition forces in Albania are holding a nationwide protest demanding that the government be replaced by a technocratic caretaker Cabinet before next year ’s parliamentary election.

The conservative opposition accuses the leftist government of manipulating earlier voting and of usurping powers, including that of the judiciary.

The Democratic Party of former Prime Minister Sali Berisha has been holding protests at the parliament in the last week after one of their colleagues was convicted of slander and imprisoned.
