The opposition’s demonstration in Tirana concluded this evening following a protracted period of over two and a half hours, marked by confrontations with law enforcement and rising anxieties. The march originated from the Prime Minister’s Office and traversed significant portions of the capital, passing close to the Socialist Party headquarters. During this time, individuals hurled molotov cocktails, prompting the deployment of riot control measures.
Efforts were made to reach the former Block area, followed by attempts to access the AAK and Parliament buildings. However, protesters faced significant obstacles as police barriers repeatedly redirected the route. The situation intensified considerably, with clashes occurring near the AAK headquarters, characterized by the throwing of molotov cocktails and the strategic use of tear gas.
Tensions escalated dramatically between demonstrators and police forces. The use of incendiary devices, specifically molotov cocktails, contributed to the volatile atmosphere. The protest ultimately ceased before the Democratic Party headquarters, where Chairman Sali Berisha addressed the remaining participants with a concluding statement.
