Albanian opposition and ruling party lawmakers scuffle in parliament over student protest tensions

Clashes erupted in Albania's parliament as opposition MPs protested the rejection of a debate on student demonstrations. Students have been protesting for ten days, demanding lower tuition fees and an end to corruption in education. Outside, large crowds gathered, clashing with police who used force to disperse them. Prime Minister Edi Rama condemned the violence and vowed to resist attempts to overthrow the government. The protests are part of a broader anti-government movement, reflecting similar unrest across Europe over rising costs and public service issues.
