Serious riots broke out on Tuesday in the Albanian capital, Tirana. Thousands of opposition demonstrators fought street battles with police and threw Molotov cocktails at government buildings. Security forces used tear gas to disperse the crowd. More than 1,000 police officers were on duty.

Clashes broke out outside Prime Minister Edi Rama's office and the headquarters of his Socialist Party, with demonstrators setting fire to a poster of Rama with Molotov cocktails.

The disturbances also spread in the area in front of the Ministry of Interior and the office of the mayor of Tirana, who also belongs to the ruling party. There have been other confrontations between demonstrators and security forces. According to the police, ten police officers were injured.

Demonstrators accuse the ruling Socialist Party of Prime Minister Rama of corruption, cronyism and trying to silence the opposition.
