Albanians took to the streets for the 40th day in a row yesterday; 40 days holds a large significance in Albanian culture. 40 days after someone dies in Albania, their loved ones gather to grieve them and end the strict mourning period. The sign shown translates roughly to “The 40th of the death of Albanians’ fear of the 36-year-old rotten political class”. Kanye West is set to perform tomorrow in Albania, despite being banned from performing in many other European countries for anti-semitic statements. I’ve heard reports that less than half of the tickets for the concert have been sold and that many tickets are being given away for free. Is this truly the best use of emergency funds?
