Students set rubbish bins ablaze during protest outside Education Ministry in Tirana

TIRANA, Nov 14 /ATA/ – Students and other protesters gathered outside the Ministry of Education in Tirana on Saturday, renewing calls against the government.

Organisers have called for two nationwide demonstrations each week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 2 p.m., outside the Education Ministry.

Tensions escalated during today’s protest, with several demonstrators setting rubbish bins on fire, sending flames and smoke across the area. Police officers at the scene did not intervene at the time of the incident.

Protesters later marched towards the Zogu i Zi area, blocking traffic and disrupting road movement. Some also attempted to remove pedestrian railings and set fire to additional rubbish bins.

A large police contingent was deployed in the area, with officers using loudspeakers to urge demonstrators to clear the road and allow vehicles to pass.

Prime Minister Edi Rama renewed his call for dialogue, but protesters rejected the invitation and continued to press their demands for better conditions at universities and action to address problems in the education sector.
