“Soft power” is quite the euphemism for funding gender studies in Albania.
Trump and Musk shuttered America’s soft power arm, USAID, last night. Illegally and unconstitutionally. So he can steal the money for his tax cut for billionaires. I will be on @Morning_Joe in a minute.

Wir gratulieren dem iranischen Volk für die heutige Auszeichnung mit dem Freiheitspreis der Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung für die Freiheit in #Frankfurt am Main. Zehntausende Menschen kamen nach Frankfurt, hunderte waren in der #Paulskirche zugegen, um dieser Preisverleihung beizuwohnen. Der Preis wurde treuhänderisch für das iranische Volk an Reza Pahlavi übergeben. Er wird die Auszeichnung bis zu dem Zeitpunkt verwahren, an dem sie einer frei gewählten Vertretung des iranischen Volkes übergeben werden kann. Begleitet wurde die Veranstaltung durch die Kronberg Music Academy. #Iran #menschenrechte #Freiheit

Albania deserves a European future. Rama’s authoritarianism is putting it at risk.

Please dear @ViolavonCramon keep in mind that different from before there are no EU flags in the current protest in Albania People here like Europe and the EU but they see the European Commission supporting no matter what the kleptocracy of Edi Rama 🤷🏻‍♀️

So here is the question: How are you going to ensure Moscow not only accepts these principles on paper but abides by them in practice? Until you figured that out, there is no agreement, no ceasefire, no peace, and no security structure any European country can accept. /end

The protests in Albania continue and are important. They shine a light on the deep corruption of Edi Rama’s administration and how far from meeting EU accession chapter 23 and 24 benchmarks.
Protests continue in Albania’s capital as demonstrators demand government accountability. What began as peaceful demonstrations is increasingly turning violent, putting pressure on Prime Minister Edi Rama’s government. Our correspondent Natalia Komarow [@NataliaKomarow] reports.

Isn’t it clownish? The guy is becoming increasingly a hindrance to his country’s membership in the EU; still he taunts the British telling them they should queue behind him in case they opt to return to the EU

The Rama government appointed Media Regulator AMA has hit several tv channels with heavy fines for inciting violence. The tv channels have reported about the latest protests against the Rama government Opposition MPs denouncing the fines and calling for AMA to annul or explain
The Guardian #Albania Rama gov imposes $6,000 fine for demonstrators present at a #protest that turns violent even if they are peaceful and unrelated to violent acts Rama has not discussed the root causes of the protests; instead he called them foreign spies

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting Iran’s Crown Prince @PahlaviReza I stand with the Iranian people in their aspiration for freedom, democracy and human dignity. They deserve the right to choose their own future, free from repression and fear. Europe must stand firmly with those seeking a free and democratic Iran. 🇪🇺

Contradictio in adjectio in the @EU_Commission report on Albania published two days ago. They note the unusual (and detrimental for operating businesses) appreciation of the 🇦🇱 currency Lek towards the Euro which is direct consequence of massive narco-crime proceeds laundered 1/2

Typical authoritarian regime talk: labeling popular discontent fueled street protests as driven by foreign hostile powers. This time the Albanian defense minister trying to use the Atlantic Alliance for regime propaganda was rebuffed by Nato officials
