The protest announced on Monday afternoon by the Albanian opposition DP in Tirana resulted in numerous Molotov shots towards state institutions, broken advertising boards and several police officers injured.
The protesters of the Democratic Party started in several marching groups initially towards the prime minister’s office from the headquarters of DP, led by officials Flamur Noka, general secretary of DP, head of the parliamentary group, Gazment Bardhi and MPs Agron Gjekmarkaj, Oerd Bylykbashi and Edi Paloka.
The head of the other opposition party PL, Ilir Meta is reported to be joining the protest, while he has left the headquarters of the Freedom Party and is marching towards the Prime Minister’s Office.
About 1,200 police forces are on the ground this Monday for the progress of the protest, but their cordons have been broken several times by the demonstrators.
The police said that they have taken measures to identify, capture and accompany the persons involved in the attacks on the police and state institutions.
Protesters gathered in support of the opposition threw Molotov cocktails and fireworks at the Prime Minister’s Office.
They tried to break the cordon created in front of the building, while they physically clashed with the police forces.
Some of the trees on the main boulevard also caught fire from the fireworks, which were later extinguished by the police.
The protest march continues but of slower pace as of this evening 21.00 o’clock.
