The violent disruptions in Albania's Parliament stemmed from the imprisonment of legislator Ervin Salianji, with opposition lawmakers accusing the governing party of political persecution.
Democrats hurled objects and burned furniture to protest the ruling party's control over the judiciary, demonstrating escalating tensions in Albanian politics as they prepare for upcoming elections.
Parliament Speaker Elisa Spiropali condemned the protests, labeling the Democrats' actions as a profound disrespect to civic values, law, and democratic institutions.
Sali Berisha asserted that the protests mark a crucial phase in the opposition's effort to reclaim political power, emphasizing their demands for free elections and government rotation.
