RT @FNCGlobalNews: Two GOP lawmakers sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio urging the State Department to use its visa restriction authority against Albanian officials tied to corruption — amid a month of large and sometimes violent protests.
Reps. Joe Wilson and Keith Self want answers by Nov. 5 on whether the U.S. Embassy in Tirana is protecting protesters and journalists, what assistance is going toward Albania's justice reforms and why parliament is shielding a former deputy prime minister charged with interfering in public procurement from arrest.
Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has governed for more than 13 years and refuses to resign despite more than 150 days of student-led protests over rampant corruption, narcotrafficking and declining public services. Rama has blamed "foreign hands" and "organized crime" for the unrest — claims protesters reject.
