After 3 hours of civil disobedience, the opposition ended at 20:00 the next protest which started at 17:00 by blocking 5 main points of the capital. This time the protest was printed for the first time by Sali Berisha, after his release from house arrest. He marched towards the protest squares starting from Rruga e Elbasani where his first stop was, to continue to the municipality of Tirana, to Zogu i Black, Palati me Shigjeta and to conclude at Wilson Square. In all the stops, the democratic leader had a statement for the media, where the focus was on the technical government and free elections.
"Any form of civil disobedience is possible. We withdraw only when the technical government and free elections are voted in," said Berisha from Rruga e Elbasani, reports A2 CNN.
There were no shortage of accusations against the head of the government Edi Rama, the Minister of the Interior Ervin Hoxha, the mayor Veliaj, but also other police officials.
"This municipality has never had an undecayed corpse like Erion Veliajn now has. You gave the thief what he deserved, you discredited him, you made him run away like me, from one side to another and I don't know where he is," said Berisha from the Municipality of Tirana, reports A2 CNN.
There were also incidents and clashes between protesters and law enforcement, who escorted some citizens to the police. In Wilson Square, Zogu i Zi and the City Hall of Tirana, the protesters were dispersed earlier after continuous interventions by the police, according to A2 CNN.
Meanwhile, at Palace with Arrows and Rruga e Elbasani, traffic was blocked until 8:00 p.m. The collision of the vice president of the Democratic Party, Agron Gjekmarkaj, with the Police at Palati me Shigjeta, who as a result lost consciousness and was sent to the Trauma Hospital for medical care, was noted, writes A2 CNN.
Berisha and Noka accused the Police of using violence against the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, calling this an unprecedented act of violence that will hold the perpetrators and enforcers accountable.
"Barbarically assaulted by the police, he (Gjekmarkaj) is going to the hospital for health care. This is an unprecedented act, the deputy speaker of the Albanian Parliament is assaulted, kicked and in a bad condition in the hospital. They will pay, it's our turn "Our time is coming. We are registering everything, every name, every person who registers," said Noka .
While the Police of Tirana rejected the accusations of Sali Berisha and Flamur Noka that the Deputy Speaker of the Parliament Agron Gjekmarkaj was hit by some officers during Monday's protest.
Agron Gjekmarkaj himself from the hospital reacted by accusing the police of using violence.
"They put pressure on my chest and I was out of breath," said Gjekmarkaj himself, as the democratic leader visited him in the hospital.
The Democrats also denounced the violence against the head of the parliamentary group Gazment Bardhi.
This is the fifth civil disobedience of the opposition, which lasted 3 hours and took place in unfavorable weather conditions, as the rains continued with intensity throughout the day. (A2 Televizion)
