They have News24 Renaldo Salianji in studio, He was reporting from some of the heaviest tear gassing of the protest over the past week.
He reported that he and other journalists suffered injuries from "both sides", but he specifically talked about being targeted by state police. He said they also won't let them film the arrests of minors (I assumed this meant having journalists accompany minors to make sure they are not maltreated as many adult arrestees are).
The anchor asked him if this is usual behavior and he replied that it's not. That in all his years of covering things, the police have never treated the press like this. He attributes it to PM Rama complaining about the media (Rama has complained specifically about News24, which is one of the few non-oligarch networks...he called for the arrest of the owner).

The #MAGAs 'portion' of the #SCOTUS assured that #Crimes committed
NOT only by #Trump
but by ALL #MAGAs (thanks to the #potus power of 'pardon')....
remain unpunished
SCOTUS has authorized #corruption and crimes at the highest levels
(being corrupt themself).
So... Now
Americans find themselves with a corrupt criminal #government that does NOT fear the laws
UNSTOPPABLE
The question is...
Why do Americans accept this criminal madness?

Day 145 of anti-corruption protest in Tirana
Oh, it gets better... so Rama put those bollards out to replace the chairs, to pretend he wants dialogue even though he ignored the protest for the 135 days it was unarguably peaceful, before frustrated high school kids escalated things...
He has stationed police and barricade fences along all approaches to Parliament...where the "dialogue bollards" are.

PM Edi Rama put out a bunch of fake red velvet chairs with signs saying "dialogue" for the international press...as if he hadn't ignored peaceful protest for 135 days before things escalated.
Yesterday, some protestors broke the chairs.
The infrastructure problems in Tirana remain, but he used public employee time to instead carry some concrete aggregate bollards up to where the chairs had been and put "dialogue" signs on those. Most cycle lanes in Tirana still not protected from drivers, but bollards as a stunt, though...
Dje studentët ia hodhën karriget në derën e Kryeministrisë, Rama ndërron strategji, u kërkon...

rsf.orgAlbanian journalists targeted by police violence: RSF calls for investigations and parliamentary scrutinyAt least 12 journalists and media workers were physically attacked while covering protests in Albania between 13 and 19 October. Most of these episodes involved police officers. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) condemns the violence and calls for sanctions against those responsible, the enforcement of existing measures to protect journalists’ safety and parliamentary scrutiny of the authorities’ re
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.

Violent Albania protests deepen political crisis for PM Edi Rama | DW News
DW's reporter should have called out Rama's installation of chairs for dialogue as the stunt it was. Protest was peaceful - even in the face of cop tear gas and water cannons - for 135 days and Rama did not put out chairs for any of those days.
Also the BS about "foreign actors" - for at least 135 days a very diverse group of Albanians (age, sex, politics, occupation) were protesting peacefully about Albanian issues.
When international press doesn't call out these stunts, they're just being used by an oligarch to amplify his propaganda.
The Albanian they interview corrects it, but DW should never have uncritically repeated the PM's BS in the first place.

Video was shown of police going into a building where students were just hanging out in a lounge and studying. They singled out young men to search. They marched a couple away in a van. Apparently because one of them had a bike helmet in his bag. Which the cops now see as proof they're planning on being violent towards cops? The cops were really torqueing his arms behind him as they marched him away, too.

"when people feel that the same people always win, that nothing changes and nothing can change, inequality starts to look less like an #injustice and more like the natural order of things,” said Alejandra Alayza, the executive director of Oxfam in #Peru "
“That is a dangerous kind of fatalism, and we must
tear it down.”

Machine translation of chyron at one point: "Masked individuals emerged from the Ministry of the Interior."
Looped video was shown of an unarmed and unmasked woman being hustled into a van by 3 police wearing riot gear, including helmets.
The guests in the studio are discussing the state violence using various weapons on minors, and how the cops (of various agencies) are breaking existing laws protecting Albanians.

Machine translated headline: "Rama places chairs outside the Prime Minister's Office for dialogue; young people respond: "Keep dreaming.""
For 4 months protest remained peaceful, even when cops were beating protestors, using water cannons and tear gas. Rama didn't want to meet with protestors. NOW that it's escalated, he wants to talk. The protestors are now telling him they will not accept anything that doesn't start with his resignation.
