Demonstrators affiliated with the Democratic Party persistently launched Molotov cocktails. Simultaneously, a State Police vehicle experienced a fire incident close to the Bank of Albania. The initial attacks focused on targeting the Prime Minister, subsequently moving towards the Ministry of Interior and Infrastructure, and the headquarters of the People’s Party (PS).
Police forces reacted to the escalating situation by deploying water cannons and tear gas. The demonstrators continued their aggressive actions, persistently throwing the incendiary devices. The unrest has been ongoing, with the police maintaining a visible presence to manage the crowds and contain the disturbances.
Shqipëri Lajme reports that the situation remains volatile. The police are actively working to disperse the demonstrators and secure the affected areas. The fire involving the State Police vehicle added to the complexity of the response, requiring further investigation and firefighting efforts.
The demonstrations, originating from Democratic Party supporters, have presented a significant challenge to law and order. Authorities are prioritizing public safety while attempting to de-escalate the situation and bring the unrest to a peaceful conclusion. The continued use of Molotov cocktails by the demonstrators underscores the intensity of the protests.
