Lawmakers from Albania's Democratic Party disrupted a session of parliament with smoke bombs, blocked the rostrum and displayed photos of injured protesters. They accused the police of using unlawful force against protesters demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama. The incident took place during a vote on a bill concerning the Central Bank, and four MPs were removed from the chamber.
