The events in the Albanian parliament reflect a deep political instability caused by corruption allegations against the Deputy Prime Minister and other officials.
Opposition deputies are actively participating in the protests, accusing the government of abuses.
During the incident, opposition politicians used flares and attempted to create chaos, leading to police intervention, as reported by Euronews.
Sali Berisha, the leader of the Democratic Party, commented on the situation, stating: "Parliament cannot exist in conditions where thieves go unpunished," emphasizing the need to uphold law and order.
The opposition demands that official charges be brought against Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku. The special prosecutor for combating corruption and organized crime has appealed to parliament for permission to arrest her. A vote on this issue is expected on Friday.
Balluku, who previously held the position of Minister of Infrastructure and Energy and is an ally of Prime Minister Rama, is suspected of involvement in opaque schemes that benefit companies engaged in major construction projects in Tirana, including the creation of a tunnel and a ring road.
At last month's parliamentary session, she called all allegations "slander and lies," expressing her willingness to cooperate with law enforcement agencies.
