A protest near the Prime Minister’s Office has entered a tense phase, with a large-scale intervention by the State Police and reports of people injured or experiencing health difficulties. According to footage and information from the scene, police advanced with vans toward the crowd, while dozens of people being escorted were also seen at the location.
Large police presence on the ground
The intervention took place after the situation at the protest was presented as having gone out of control. Several police vans carrying officers entered the area, while police officers holding rubber batons were also seen on the ground.
The increased presence of law enforcement near the protesters heightened tensions on the boulevard, at a time when the crowd was between the Pyramid and the Prime Minister’s Office building.
Dozens of escorts reported
During the intervention, dozens of protesters were reported to have been escorted. At this stage, there has been no public clarification on the exact number of people detained or the specific reasons for each escort.
The lack of an official real-time tally leaves open questions about the proportionality of the action and the way the gathering is being managed on the ground.
A man in serious condition, cardiac massage administered
In a grassy area between the Pyramid and the Prime Minister’s Office, a man was seen lying on the ground in serious health condition. Those present were giving him first aid and performing cardiac massage.
There is still no complete information about his identity, the causes of his condition, or whether the episode is directly linked to the clash at the protest.
A girl also received first aid
In the same incident, a girl was also reported to be experiencing physical difficulties. She received first aid from people present in the area.
The incident also unfolded in the presence of State Police Director Skënder Hita, who was on the boulevard during the moments of tension.
Footage and reports from the scene show a sharp escalation of the situation, with an intensive police presence and troubling consequences for the health of several participants.
In the absence of a full institutional version of the intervention, the focus remains on the way the police operation was conducted, the reasons for the escorts, and the condition of the people who received assistance on the ground.
