Tensions returned to the protest held on Durrësit Street, where a gathering that was initially presented as peaceful later turned into clashes with police. The published version of events speaks of stones thrown toward the Ministry and the use of pressurized water by law enforcement, while also raising claims that Molotov cocktails had been hidden in croissant bags.
From peaceful entry to clashes near the Ministry
According to the description of the event, protesters initially entered the Durrësit Street area peacefully. The situation later changed, when stones began to be thrown toward the Ministry building.
This prompted a police response, with officers intervening using pressurized water. The information made public so far provides no further details on any injured or escorted persons.
Claim of hidden Molotov cocktails
The same version says that some of the young people had also brought Molotov cocktails with them. The strongest claim concerns the way they were transported, as it is reported that they were hidden in croissant bags so they would not be noticed while moving toward the protest.
At this stage, no additional public evidence has been presented regarding this claim beyond what has been reported about the development of the event on the ground.
Questions over security and police management
If the claim about incendiary devices is confirmed, the issue raises questions not only about the organization of the protesters, but also about security filters and police checks before the situation escalated.
On the other hand, the use of pressurized water against the crowd remains another element that requires fuller transparency on the proportionality of the intervention and the way the protest was managed.
The incident on Durrësit Street adds another tense episode to the relationship between street protest and the institutional response.
Beyond the initial versions, what remains essential is a full clarification of the circumstances, with verifiable facts about what happened before and during the clash.
