Violentos enfrentamientos estallan en Tirana mientras se intensifican protestas estudiantiles

Política Sociedad

El 17 de octubre la policía y unidades antidisturbios se enfrentaron a manifestantes estudiantiles en el centro de Tirana, empleando cañones de agua, gases lacrimógenos y balas de goma, mientras los manifestantes arrojaban piedras y bombas de gasolina y exigían la dimisión del primer ministro Edi Rama. Los disturbios comenzaron el 12 de octubre, cuando estudiantes lanzaron ladrillos al Ministerio de Educación e incendiaron partes del edificio, según Al Jazeera, lo que provocó arrestos y el uso de gases lacrimógenos y cañones de agua. El primer ministro Rama rechazó las demandas de renuncia y, citado por Euronews, culpó a actores extranjeros de impulsar las protestas.

En el quinto día, Reuters informó que la policía disparó balas de goma, lo que resultó en decenas de detenciones y la suspensión de varios oficiales. La BBC señaló que las protestas se extendieron a otras ciudades, causando daños materiales y heridos, y el 16 de octubre la diputada de 25 años Marjana Koceku se unió a las manifestaciones, según Reuters.

On October 16, 2026, Prime Minister Edi Rama calling for calm and accusing unnamed foreign actors of fueling protests in multiple cities was partially confirmed.
