Tensions were recorded outside Parliament at the same time the plenary session began, as protesters clashed with law enforcement on the perimeter of the building. According to footage and the official version of the situation on the ground, eggs and water bottles were thrown at the police cordon, while police had also positioned a water cannon truck near the protest area.
Tensions at the entrance to Parliament
Protesters gathered outside Parliament as soon as the plenary session began, turning the entrance to the institution into the main flashpoint in the confrontation with police.
Eggs and water bottles were thrown toward the police cordon, while officers remained in position to keep the perimeter around the building under control.
Water cannon truck on the move, but not intervening at that moment
Behind the police cordon was also the water cannon truck, which could be seen moving in the area, but at that stage it was not intervening against the crowd.
The presence of intervention vehicles showed that authorities had anticipated an escalation, although the situation remained tense and unstable.
Earlier escalation with tear gas
Earlier, the protest had entered a more severe phase. After eggs and tomatoes were thrown toward officers, police responded with water and tear gas.
The use of these means significantly increased tensions outside Parliament, in another episode of confrontation between protesters and law enforcement near state institutions.
The incident unfolded in parallel with proceedings in Parliament, shifting attention to security and the police management of the protest outside the building.
Up to that stage, footage from the scene showed a heated situation, with repeated clashes and an increased police presence.
