Tirana streets blocked by opposition protesters in latest demonstration

TIRANA, Jan 17 – Protesters blocked roads outside Tirana City Hall today, causing major traffic chaos during their 42nd demonstration.

The Democratic Party’s supporters gathered after 11 a.m., stopping cars and leaving dozens of drivers stuck in long queues. Unlike earlier protests, where police closed the streets, this time it was opposition supporters who brought traffic to a halt.

Frustrated drivers honked their horns, while police avoided direct action. Officers used megaphones to ask protesters to clear the roads, but the crowd refused to move.

“This is crazy. I’ve been stuck here for ages,” said one driver.

Last week’s protest ended with several arrests, but today’s rally stayed peaceful despite the disruption. Opposition leaders say they won’t stop pressuring City Hall.
