Dozens of protesters gathered near Parliament shortly before the plenary session scheduled for 12:00, signaling another political confrontation outside the institution. Increased police measures and movement restrictions were seen on the ground in the surrounding area, while protesters voiced direct accusations against the majority and the prime minister.
Gathering outside Parliament before MPs entered
According to reports from the scene, protesters had gathered at the rear of Parliament as MPs and ministers from the Socialist majority began arriving at the institution.
Chants such as “Parliament of crime” were heard from the crowd, a political slogan targeting the moral legitimacy of the institution and its representatives.
Eggs marked with MPs’ names and a new “strategy”
Some protesters were seen holding eggs in their hands and, according to the footage, writing the names of MPs on them. The presence of ties at the protest was also reported.
According to what the protesters themselves said at the scene, they had changed their “strategy” and did not intend to hit MPs with eggs, but to hand them to them and ask them whether or not to break them.
Calls for resignation and police intervention
In unison, protesters chanted, “Rama, resign,” clearly directing the protest against the head of government.
Later, according to the version reported from the scene, police intervened by moving the protesters away from Parliament’s outer courtyard.
Perimeter blocked around the institution
Police also took measures in the area around Parliament, blocking traffic at several points on the grounds of preventing incidents.
These security measures came at a time when the session had not yet begun, indicating that institutions were expecting tensions even before the normal course of parliamentary proceedings.
The protest took place on the eve of the plenary session and under a visible police presence, while the protesters’ message remained focused on the prime minister’s resignation and opposition to the majority.
At this stage, public information is based on footage and reporting from the ground, while it remains to be seen whether there will be an official response from Parliament or the State Police regarding the handling of the situation.
