Albanian student protesters clash with police at education ministry

Wednesday, 14 October 2026, 06:21 · 1 min read

Student protesters in Tirana clashed with police outside Albania's Ministry of Education on Tuesday, throwing rocks and eggs at the building while officers responded with tear gas and water cannon. Police said 23 people were detained and six officers injured, while the Association of Journalists of Albania said police injured a reporter and blocked a crew from covering the event and called for an investigation. The rally was part of the 'Flamingo Revolution', an anti-government protest movement demanding Prime Minister Edi Rama's resignation over alleged corruption and plans to build in protected environmental areas, with students also pressing for better conditions and financial support.
