Day 147 of anti-corruption protest in Tirana, Albania; Day 12 of escalated tactics

Things have heated up again and currently the cops are lobbing more tear gas, using water cannons, and chasing protestors into Skanderbeg Square, where there's less cover.

The voice of the reporter is echo-y because they're speaking from within a full respirator mask.

The cops seem to have acquired two more water cannon trucks than they had before.

Day 147 of anti-corruption protest in Tirana, Albania; Day 12 of escalated tactics

Albanians celebrate birthdays by setting off fireworks at midnight. So fireworks are always available.

Someone just set off an absolute shitload of fireworks at 9-Kateshi in Tirana, Albania.

The protestors cheered.

The cops have used tear gas, "rubber" bullets, water cannons, and more today.
