Tensions were evident today during the session at the parliament, characterized by confrontations between protesters and the police. Authorities established a cordon around the area, deploying metal barriers starting at the intersection of Elbasan Street. Demonstrators reportedly threw eggs and tomatoes at the police officers, to which the police responded using water cannons and tear gas.
After several hours of plenary sessions, Prime Minister Edi Rama arrived at the parliament. Upon his arrival, members of the Democratic party reportedly blocked the rostrum, leading to the suspension of further discussions and an immediate progression to a vote. The situation at the parliament remained tense throughout the proceedings.
The deployment of police forces was visible as they maintained control over the area surrounding the legislative body. The use of crowd control measures by the police was necessitated by the ongoing protests. The actions of the protesters, including the throwing of projectiles, prompted the police to take visible measures to manage the crowd and secure the parliament grounds.
