Scandal in the Albanian parliament: the opposition blocked the podium and used pyrotechnics The Albanian opposition deputies disrupted the parliament session and staged a protest right in the hall: they blocked access to the podium and lit smoke bombs. This is reported by Reuters. During the incident, the leader of the opposition, Sali Berisha, severely criticized the representatives of the ruling party, calling them criminals and telling them "they deserve tear gas, rubber bullets and broken skulls". The incident in the parliament comes against the backdrop of massive student protests that have been ongoing in Albania since mid-October. Protesters take to the streets due to high levels of corruption, lack of jobs and poor quality of education. According to local media, at least 320 people have already been injured during the unrest.
