Another episode of tension was recorded in Tirana, this time inside Police Station No. 3, where Democratic Party MPs clashed with officers of the State Police. According to the opposition’s version, the cause of the conflict was their request to meet protesters who were escorted there after the day’s events.
Clash inside the police station
According to published information, the clash happened at Police Station No. 3 in the capital, where DP MPs tried to enter to meet the protesters.
Police officers did not allow them to hold the meeting, leading to direct tensions between opposition representatives and the blue uniforms.
Opposition accuses police of violence against protesters
DP MPs claimed that the escorted protesters had been subjected to violence by police during the protest held in Tirana.
For this reason, they sought direct contact with the detained or escorted individuals, at a time when the full circumstances of the police intervention remain limited to the versions circulating publicly.
The incident follows a day of tensions
The situation at Police Station No. 3 came after clashes and tensions recorded throughout the day in the capital.
The incident further fuels debate over how protests are managed and the degree of force used by police, an issue that usually remains disputed between the official version and the opposition’s accusations.
At this stage, what is known is that the clash between DP MPs and police unfolded in a heated political climate and after incidents reported during the protest in Tirana.
It remains to be clarified on what basis the meeting with the protesters was not allowed and whether there is official documentation for the claims raised about their treatment inside police premises.
