A fire show instead of a debate took place in the Albanian parliament: "In the Albanian parliament, the opposition deputies disrupted the meeting and lit fireworks - the hall was filled with blue and red smoke. Everything happened during the vote on the law on the central bank. Representatives of the Democratic Party also blocked access to the stand. The action took place against the backdrop of anti-government protests that have been ongoing in the country since mid-October. The demonstrators are demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister, accusing the authorities of corruption, lack of work and problems in the education sector. Opposition leader Sali Berisha said protesters injured by police did not deserve "tear gas, rubber bullets and broken bones."
