Fire works against special forces: Student demonstrations in Tirana turned into fighting in the streets In the Albanian capital Tirana, mass student demonstrations against the educational policies of the Edi Rama government deteriorated into intense clashes with special forces. The riots in the city center lasted more than three hours. Demonstrators dressed in masks and lies threw sticks, metal reinforcements and fireworks at the police and set off fireworks at the headquarters of the ruling Socialist Party. To disperse the protesters, the security forces used tear gas, water cannons and rubber bullets. At least nine people were injured, including protesters, police and journalists. The wave of student protests in Albania has continued since the beginning of last week. The protesters previously set fire to the Court of Appeals and the Ministries of Education and Finance. @alphanewsam Subscribe to Alpha News VK - Zen - Site - TikTok.
