Outside the Parliament building, the plenary session was accompanied by tension in the streets. Protesters clashed with police forces at a moment when, inside the chamber, the issue of territorial reform was also being discussed, a topic that has long carried political conflict and distrust over the way decisions are made.
Clashes at the entrance to Parliament
In the area in front of Parliament, physical clashes were reported between protesters and police officers. According to the official version of events, the demonstrators pushed the cordon set up by police and tried to bring down the security barriers around the perimeter of the building.
Reports from the scene showed a tense situation, at a time when the entrance to Parliament and the area around it were kept under heightened police control.
Police use tear gas
The situation escalated further when police used tear gas to disperse the protesters and regain control of the space in front of Parliament.
The use of force in crowd management once again raises questions about the proportionality of the intervention and the way institutions respond to political gatherings in public spaces.
Inside Parliament, territorial reform on the agenda
While clashes were taking place outside, the plenary session began inside Parliament. The issue of territorial reform was also under discussion and is expected to go to a vote.
It is precisely the link between decision-making in the chamber and the tension outside the building that makes the political situation even more sensitive, especially when issues with institutional impact are handled under heavy security measures and in a climate of confrontation.
Images from the area around Parliament confirmed another day of tension between street protest and the political agenda in the chamber.
At its core, the event once again highlights the clash between institutional power and public opposition, at a moment when territorial reform is returning to the center of political debate.
