Tensions in the protest have shifted toward Elbasan Road, where damage has been reported at the major intersection near the Namazgjasë mosque. After earlier incidents on the “Dëshmorët e Kombit” boulevard, the situation appears to have moved to another part of the city, with visible consequences for road infrastructure.
Protesters move from the boulevard toward Elbasan Road
According to footage published from the scene, groups of protesters moved from the “Dëshmorët e Kombit” boulevard toward the major intersection on Elbasan Road, near the Namazgjasë mosque.
This development shows that the situation has not remained confined to a single area, but has spread to one of the most important traffic junctions in the capital.
Damage reported to traffic lights and railings
Footage provided by the reporter at the scene shows damage to elements of public infrastructure, including railings and traffic lights at this intersection.
At this stage, what can be seen publicly is the striking of objects located along the route, while no official assessment of the damage caused in the area has yet been made public.
Level of violence reported to be increasing
The version reported from the scene indicates that protesters continued moving without interruption, causing damage to every object in their path.
The escalation of the situation once again raises questions over control of order on the ground and the response of the structures responsible for curbing damage in public space.
So far, the focus of the incident has clearly shifted from the center of the boulevard toward Elbasan Road, where the intersection near Namazgjasë appears to be one of the hardest-hit points.
It remains to be seen whether institutions will provide a full picture of the damage and the management of the situation, beyond the footage circulating from the scene.
