Protesters are marching towards the Tirana Police, where it is suspected that some of the citizens, including Dritan Goxhaj, who were violently stopped by blue uniforms while protesting in front of the Albanian Parliament, have been escorted.
With the cries of "release the arrested", the protesters have moved from the Parliament to the Tirana Local Police Directorate. It is not yet known how many people have been escorted by the police in connection with the protest held at the Parliament, where there have been minor incidents, including the pelting of cars of MPs and ministers with eggs.
"Release the protesters, release the protesters," are the calls that a group of citizens have made towards the Police, which they have considered "a disgrace."
Meanwhile, there is still no official information from the police regarding the arrests, or the number of people who were arrested.
Policia ka nisur arrestimet në protestën që po zhvillohet para Kuvendit të Shqipërisë, ndërsa veprimet e saj konsiderohen të turpshme dhe kriminale.

"You do not represent us," was the call that the protesters, who have been at Parliament since 10:00, are directing at the MPs, regardless of whether they are from the majority or the opposition.
Despite the measures that the police have taken to provide a passageway for lawmakers to enter and exit Parliament, there has been no shortage of incidents.
As Democratic MP Gjin Gjoni left the Parliament premises, eggs were thrown at him. The MP reacted nervously, but protesters shouted "you don't represent us."
For 3 hours, citizens have been protesting in front of Parliament, while the plenary session is taking place, which has been accompanied by debates.
The protest is part of the "flamingo revolution", as the civic revolt against the political class as a whole and Prime Minister Edi Rama in particular has been dubbed.
Dozens of police forces, including those of the National Police, have intervened by creating a corridor that allows MPs to exit Parliament, while protesters have in some cases thrown eggs and water bottles at the vehicles of ministers and MPs.
"Shame, shame, shame," were the cries that the protesters threw at the Police, as the latter forced citizens to move off the road, thus freeing up the road axis.
"Parliament of crime" and "Parliament in the trash" were other slogans of the protesters, who are demanding that lawmakers surrender their mandates, while demanding that the Prime Minister resign.
"We do not give way to thieves and illiterates. This is public land, ours, we do not give it up," said one protester, while chants were made against the patronage.
The protest held this Tuesday in front of the Parliament escalated into tensions, after a group of protesters blocked the entrances to the building, making it difficult for MPs and ministers to exit during the plenary session.
As several MPs and members of the government left Parliament, protesters greeted them with chants and threw eggs in their direction.
As can be seen from the footage, the officers pushed the protesters to make way for the vehicle of one of the government members, specifically Deputy Prime Minister Albana Koçiu.
Due to the situation, there were several clashes between protesters and State Police officers, who tried to create security corridors for the movement of officials. The Rapid Intervention Forces (RINF) then arrived in the area to open the road and restore normalcy.
The protesters, who began their rally at 10:00 AM, parallel to the plenary session, blocked all three entrances to the Parliament building, including the main entrance. Police clashed with the crowd several times, pushing back the protesters in an attempt to free the entrances.
Throughout the protest, chants such as "Down with the dictatorship!", "Parliament of crime!" and "Cancel the laws!" were heard, while protesters demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama and the government.
Despite high temperatures, the protest continued for more than two hours in front of the Parliament building, under increased security measures and the presence of law enforcement.
For more than 90 minutes, under the slogan "Parliament of Crime", hundreds of citizens have been holding a protest in front of the Albanian Parliament, where the plenary session is also taking place.
The protest is a continuation of what is now known as the "flamingo revolution" that began a month ago and every afternoon thousands of citizens demand the resignation of Edi Rama. The civic revolt is directed at the entire political class in the country that for 35 years has held development hostage and has enriched itself by plundering public property, but not only.
"Parliament in the trash" is another call that protesters are making during the protest, while some citizens are at the entrance to the Parliament from the Elbasan street side, while others are standing at the entrance from the Castle area.
Protesters threw eggs at MPs' vehicles, while MPs were asked to surrender their mandates.
Unlike the protests taking place at the Prime Minister's Office, in today's protest in front of the Parliament, the police had taken measures, creating a security cordon, while dozens of officers were on standby.
With banners, slogans and calls against the government, protesters gathered in front of Parliament during the plenary session.

"Down with the dictatorship!", "Criminal parliament!", "Illiterate parliament!" and "Cancel the laws!" were some of the chants heard during the protest.
The protesters also responded to the statement made a few days ago by Prime Minister Edi Rama, who addressed the protesters with the phrase "F*ck you!". Under the rhythms of the famous song by the band Queen, "We Will Rock You", they chanted in chorus: "Rama, Rama, f*ck you!".
Among the slogans held at the protest were messages such as "Albania wants revolution", "F*ck you Parliament", and "Rama in prison, Berisha in prison", expressing dissatisfaction with both the government and the political class as a whole.
Some protesters have placed a trash can near the door of the Parliament. The action has been accompanied by chants: "This is your place!"
Protesters are also heard shouting slogans against Prime Minister Rama and the leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha: "Rama in the trash, Berisha in the trash."
Meanwhile, students have chosen another way to protest. They also have a call for the police, who they emphasize are operating with double standards.
"We are against double standards. Students should not be prosecuted, while cars block the streets of Tirana, blocking traffic. We are in protest and our demands are clear. Fine the MPs and do not prosecute the students," they say.
The protest took place in parallel with the plenary session of the Parliament and was organized as part of the continuation of the rallies against the government, with the main demand for the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama.
With chants of "Criminal parliament, illiterate parliament" , protesters have begun gathering in front of the Parliament building, where the next plenary session is expected to take place at 10:00.
As announced in the 30th protest against Prime Minister Edi Rama, citizens continued their protest action today, gathering in the early hours of the morning in front of Parliament.
Protesters are demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama. During the rally, chants against the opposition were also heard, such as " Sold out opposition" , "Your end has come" and "Rama in prison, Berisha in prison", while at the entrance to the Parliament, opposition MPs were seen entering the building where the plenary session will take place.
