The news reporter is saying what happened is that a protestor managed to walk up through a gap in the police standing around. Other protestors went up to join them, possibly to encourage them back down again. And then the people up there ended up overturning and some destroying the chairs.

The fact that the "chairs for dialogue" that Rama put out were surrounded by a police cordon gives away what a stunt it was on his part. He's just performing for the international press.

Screencapture of today's livestream on News24 Albania. Chyron says "Policia largon protestuit nga shkallet e kryeministrise" which auto-translated means "Police remove protesters from the steps of the Prime Minister's Office". A close-up is on the remains of some of the black and fake red velvet chairs that Rama had personally set up on the landing with signs on each saying "dialog". The heads of some of the protestors on the pavement below can be seen in the bottom of the frame.
