On June 30, 2026, protests erupted in front of the Albanian Parliament in Tirana as demonstrators gathered to voice their opposition to a proposed law allowing the construction of luxury hotels in protected areas. During the protests, participants threw eggs at vehicles carrying lawmakers, chanting demands for the legislators to resign. These events took place amidst a parliamentary session, heightening tensions between the protesters and law enforcement.
Authorities responded to the unrest by arresting several dozen individuals, with reports of violent clashes between protesters and police. The Albanian Ombudsman announced the initiation of an investigation into potential excessive use of force by police during the arrests. The protests have been ongoing since May 30, fueled by public anger regarding environmental concerns linked to the planned developments, particularly a controversial resort being built near the coastal town of Vlorë. Various media reports captured the severity of the situation, including the chaotic scenes with police utilizing water cannons against the demonstrators.
