In Albania, a nationwide student protest over education and social issues turned violent as demonstrators threw bricks and chunks of concrete at Albania’s Education Ministry, and police answered with tear gas and water cannons. Organizers said students were protesting university conditions, the cost of higher education, the level of financial aid and the lack of job prospects after graduation. This is a protester.
Protester: “It must be overthrown. They must hold elections, form a technical government, and then hold free and fair elections. Whoever wins, let them win.”
