After several hours of clashes on the boulevard, the situation in Tirana fragmented into several points across the capital, where protesters dispersed to avoid police intervention. According to reports from the ground, law enforcement continued moving with vans and officers in search of arrests, while one flashpoint of confrontation remained at Rinia Park.
The confrontation moved from the boulevard to the city streets
After hours of tension in the center, some of the protesters left the boulevard area and dispersed through the streets of Tirana. The move appears to have come under police pressure and fear of detentions.
Footage and reports show that the dynamics of the protest did not remain concentrated in one location, but spread across several arteries of the capital, making the situation more unclear and more tense.
Police on the ground, focused on arrests
According to the version reported from the ground, police were circulating with vans and officers in several areas of Tirana in order to carry out arrests. At this stage, there are no full details on the number of people detained.
The increased presence of law enforcement suggests a pursuit phase after the crowd dispersed, shifting attention from direct confrontation to operations aimed at capturing protesters still on the move.
At Rinia Park, a core of resistance remained
One of the points where the confrontation continued was Rinia Park, where some protesters were reported to have stayed and tried to withstand the reinforced police offensive.
This area became one of the main centers of tension after the protest dispersed from the boulevard, showing that the situation did not subside immediately with the departure of most participants.
The incident reflects an evening of high tension in the capital, where police intervention and the movement of protesters created a scattered situation that was difficult to control.
In the absence of full official data on detentions and the overall toll of the confrontation, the real scope of the police operation and its concrete consequences remain unclear.
