Adriatik Lapaj at the protest in front of the Parliament

The leader of the "Albania Becomes" movement, Adriatik Lapaj, joined the protest held in front of the Parliament building this Thursday, but his presence was accompanied by tensions.

Immediately after he was noticed by the protesters, some of them expressed opposition to his presence, asking him to leave the rally.

"Stay as a protester, not with votes," was one of the calls addressed to Lapaj, while others strongly urged him to leave the protest.

Despite the reactions, Lapaj did not leave and continued to stand next to the protesters, while the situation remained tense for several minutes.
