Tensions surfaced at the parliament on Monday morning as protesters gathered outside the building around 9:20 AM, shortly before the plenary session commenced. While some socialist deputies had entered the hall beforehand, others who arrived later were reportedly subjected to projectiles, including eggs and flour, by a group of demonstrators. In response to the gathering, the police intervened, escorting eight individuals from the scene.
Security around the parliament was visibly heightened in anticipation of the public assembly. Measures implemented included the establishment of a metal fence and an area cordon. Furthermore, a security force armored vehicle and a water cannon were strategically positioned, equipment typically reserved for dispersing crowds during escalating tensions.
Despite these heightened security measures, the protesters continued their demonstration outside the parliament, leading to several recorded incidents. The atmosphere became notably tense at various points during the day’s proceedings. The presence of security forces and the nature of the demonstration resulted in a visible escalation of tensions between the assembled groups.
