Amid clashes and disorder in the parliamentary chamber, attention was also drawn to a detail that highlighted the contrast of the political day: while opposition and majority MPs faced off during the session, Sali Berisha was seen browsing on his iPad, moving between TikTok videos, YouTube and news websites.
Footage from the chamber amid tensions
During the tension-filled plenary session, Berisha was filmed as he remained in his seat and followed developments on his iPad screen. At the same time, clashes between opposition and majority MPs continued in the chamber.
Footage captured in Parliament shows the PD leader alternating his attention between the situation in the chamber and the content appearing on his device. The contrast between the political crisis in the chamber and the digital distraction did not go unnoticed.
From conspiracy theories on TikTok
One of his stops on screen was TikTok, where a video appeared with conspiracy theories about the “Ugarit civilization” and an “Egyptian stone” that, according to the video’s content, should not be seen by the wider public.
Such content often circulates on social media without verification standards and outside any institutional or media filter. The fact that it was being viewed even at a moment of parliamentary tension makes the episode politically significant.
Video about Rama and a television interview
At another moment, a post about the assault on Edi Rama in 1997 was seen on Berisha’s screen. He then switched to an interview with Edmond Tupe on the program “Tech Talk,” with Kristi Gongo and Kushtrim Shala.
The choice of this content, precisely during the chaos in Parliament, adds further questions about how that session was managed by the opposition camp in the chamber.
Finally, Reuters
After the social media videos and other content, Berisha was seen browsing Reuters’ homepage for international developments.
The episode does not change the essence of the day’s political clash, but it adds a meaningful element to how the public image of leadership in Parliament is shaped: between the political action declared in the chamber and a screen filled with theories, videos and global news.
In a session that aimed to demonstrate political strength and control of the opposition’s action, what also remained striking was this parallel scene: chaos in the chamber, while the opposition leader browsed between TikTok, YouTube and news from around the world.
