On Sunday afternoon, opposition supporters gathered on 'Dëshmorët e Kombit' boulevard in continuation of the action demanding the removal of Edi Rama from the post of Prime Minister.
The protest continued on some of Tirana's main streets, where demonstrators threw Molotov cocktails and police responded with tear gas and water cannons.
The developments of the protest have been covered by Greek and Turkish media.
Anadolu Agency writes that thousands of people marched through the streets of the Albanian capital on Sunday in protest against the government of Prime Minister Edi Rama.
“Demonstrators gathered in front of the prime minister’s office in Tirana after a call from the main opposition Democratic Party (PD) and demanded that Rama and his left-wing government resign over corruption allegations.
They threw Molotov cocktails and the police intervened with tear gas and water cannons. Molotov cocktails were also thrown at several ministry buildings and police vehicles. Many streets in Tirana were closed to traffic, with hundreds of police officers deployed.
Anti-government demonstrations have been held in Albania in recent months, with opposition parties vowing to continue the protests, Turkish media writes.
Meanwhile, Greek media, covering developments from Tirana, wrote that demonstrators gathered in front of the Prime Minister's office, while police fired water cannons at protesters in Albania, who had previously thrown Molotov cocktails and fireworks towards the building.
“The Albanian capital has become a battleground in recent months with ongoing demonstrations, as protesters see government efforts to shield senior officials from anti-corruption investigations.
Protests have erupted in the streets of the capital several times since charges were filed in December against Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Baluku, a close associate of Rama, who was suspended over a corruption scandal that is now under investigation.
With the goal of joining the European Union by 2030, the Albanian political scene has experienced a long and intense rivalry between left-wing and right-wing parties, with both sides frequently accusing each other of corruption and links to organized crime, Greek media writes.
