Opposition protest bars the Prime Minister's Office! 1500 police officers

The State Police has refused to guarantee order and security during the protest to be held at 6:00 PM by the Democratic Party.

Since the Police are charged by law and the Constitution with ensuring order for citizens, measures have been taken.

1,500 police forces are on standby, deployed to buildings of particular importance. This is because the protesters, after gathering in front of the Prime Minister's Office, are expected to march towards the main institutions, excluding the Parliament.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister's Office has also been armored, and a metal fence has been installed.

The Eagle Forces are being equipped with fire extinguishers, as a precautionary measure against what is expected to happen, taking previous protests as a point of reference.

Police announcement:
Representatives of the political entity Democratic Party of Albania have notified the Tirana Police of the holding of a rally today at 18:00, in front of the Prime Minister's Office.
Based on the incidents that occurred during the previous rally, where acts of violence and the use of dangerous means against Police officers were evidenced, the participation of masked persons and the use of minors in the rally, as well as the information provided on the possibility of repetition of such actions, the Tirana Police has responded to the political entity that it does not undertake to guarantee the holding of the rally.
Despite the response received, the Tirana Police, in fulfillment of its functional duties, has taken all measures to guarantee public order and security in the city of Tirana, the protection of state institutions, as well as the free movement of vehicles and citizens, in case the rally takes place.
Tirana Police appeal to citizens that, if they encounter violent actions, they should distance themselves and denounce any illegality they observe.
