Clashes, traffic disruption reported during student-led protest in Tirana

TIRANA, Nov 14 /ATA/ – A protest organised by students and joined by members of the public was held outside the Education Ministry in Tirana on Saturday, with demonstrators renewing calls for the government’s resignation.

Tensions flared during the demonstration, with several protesters setting rubbish bins on fire. Flames and smoke spread across the protest area, while police officers present at the scene did not intervene at the time of the incident.

After the demonstration outside the ministry, protesters moved towards the Zogu i Zi area, where they blocked traffic.

During the march, several protesters, including minors and masked individuals, attempted to remove pedestrian railings and set fire to additional rubbish bins.

A large police contingent was deployed in the area. Officers used loudspeakers to urge demonstrators to clear the road and avoid obstructing vehicle traffic.

Prime Minister Edi Rama renewed his invitation for dialogue, but protesters rejected the offer.

Organisers have announced plans to hold two nationwide demonstrations each week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 2 p.m., outside the Education Ministry.
