There is no calm in front of the Prime Minister’s Office, as State Police have fired tear gas and taken control of “Dëshmorët e Kombit” Boulevard. The situation escalated after some protesters began throwing stones, firecrackers and fireworks at officers.
Police responded with water cannon and tear gas. Students accuse Prime Minister Edi Rama of leading a corrupt government and say he must step down.
Tear gas was also fired at the Ministry of Interior, although there were no clashes there.
The main demand of the protesters is the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama, whom they accuse of misgovernance.
