地拉那，10月25日——周日，总理埃迪·拉马宣布新措施以遏制一波反政府示威数小时后，抗议者涌上地拉那街头。
TIRANA, Oct 25 - Protesters poured onto the streets of Tirana on Sunday hours after Prime Minister Edi Rama announced new measures to stem a wave of anti-government demonstrations.
在一个下雨的下午，抗议者聚集在教育部前，随后步行前往拉马的办公室，点燃了他摆放在办公室前、作为与政府对话邀请的椅子。
On a rainy afternoon, protesters gathered in front of the Education Ministry and then walked to Rama's office, setting on fire chairs he had placed in front of it as an invitation to a dialogue with the government.
学生领导的示威活动因对政府腐败、缺乏就业机会和教育水平低下的不满而愈演愈烈，本月已席卷地拉那市中心，并蔓延至其他城市。
Student-led demonstrations, fuelled by anger over perceived government corruption, a lack of jobs and poor education standards, have engulfed central Tirana and spread to other cities this month.
要求拉马下台的示威者纵火焚烧政府大楼和银行，砸碎商店橱窗，并撬起铺路石向警察投掷。
Demonstrators demanding Rama's resignation have set fire to government buildings and banks, smashed shop windows and pulled up paving stones to throw at police.
拉马在一段视频讲话中说：“我相信，那些要求我下台的人如果认为可以通过暴力或任何其他方式迫使我下台，那就错了；但我不认为他们所说或要求的一切都是错的。”
"I believe that those who demand my resignation are mistaken if they think they can impose it through violence or any other means, but I do not believe that everything they say or demand is wrong," Rama said in a video address.
这场骚乱发生前，夏季曾有为期数月、基本和平的抗议，反对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的女婿贾里德·库什纳支持的一个豪华沿海开发项目。这场骚乱是对拉马迄今最大的挑战。拉马自2013年起执政，去年赢得第四个任期。
The unrest, which followed months of largely peaceful summer protests against a luxury coastal development backed by US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, poses the biggest challenge yet to Rama, who has governed since 2013 and won a fourth term in office last year.
周日早些时候，拉马推出了遏制暴力的新措施，包括对每名参与演变为暴力的抗议的人处以50万列克（约合6188美元）的罚款，即使他或她没有实施暴力行为。
Earlier on Sunday, Rama introduced new measures to curb violence including fines of 500,000 lek ($6,188) for everyone who participates in a protest that turns violent even if he or she does not commit acts of violence.
