This Monday evening in Tirana, the city centre saw violence in its side streets. Tensions and clashes at the protest have flared up again, after things had been calm for several hours. But during their march from the Prime Minister’s Office towards the “Martyrs of the Nation” Boulevard, tear gas was suddenly fired from the roof of the Ministry of Interior. Afterwards, part of the crowd marched onto “Dibra Street”, where protesters set fire to waste containers. Meanwhile, in the Medrese area, police officers are moving through every side street, on foot, to disperse and detain protesters.
The “Rama 4” government is working on new sanctions related to the protest. Individuals identified as perpetrators of violent acts during the protests may face additional measures, beyond criminal prosecution. The sanctions package announced by Prime Minister Edi Rama is expected to include restrictions on their travel abroad. One of the planned measures is to include the identified individuals on a “blacklist” in the TIMS system.
The measure aims to prevent these individuals from entering EU countries, extending the consequences for those identified as responsible for violence during the protests. The initiative is linked to the package announced by Rama this Monday, while the working group is preparing measures aimed at addressing cases of violence.
8:20 pm. After mass marches through the streets of Tirana and the terror caused this evening, police were seen in the area outside the “Opera” in “Skanderbeg” Square in Tirana, trying to detain a minor but failing to do so. Several citizens, mostly women, did not allow the officers to take the minor away. One of the women shouted at an officer and urged him to leave.
7:50 pm. Forceful arrests and police interventions on the capital’s streets have prompted a harsh reaction from the head of the Democratic Party parliamentary group, Gazment Bardhi. Following published footage showing police officers using violence and detaining young people in the streets, Bardhi levelled strong accusations against police leaders and persons who, he said, ordered the intervention.
7:33 pm. A serious scene was recorded near the Orthodox Church during clashes between protesters and police. Seven officers surrounded a protester, beat him with rubber batons and forced him to the ground. Police retaliation against protesters continues on the capital’s streets.
18:45. Some of the protesters are moving onto ‘Dibra Street’, where waste bins are burning. Another group is at the ‘Martyrs of the Nation’ Boulevard. The protesters had been split into two groups, one near the Prime Minister’s Office and the other at Rinia Park. After the arrival of masked young people, who took the lead of the protest, the crowd moved toward the Prime Minister’s Office to join the other group. Protesters set fire to garbage containers in the Piazza area in an attempt to slow the movement of police forces. The situation on the ground remains tense, while the burning of the containers has increased concerns about escalation and possible clashes between protesters and law enforcement officers.
