The fourth consecutive protest in Albania’s capital, Tirana, against a project linked to the Trump family turned violent on Wednesday.
Demonstrators gathered for another round of protests, voicing opposition to the controversial development project that has drawn increasing political and public attention in recent weeks.
Tensions escalated when protesters broke through a police cordon set up to contain the crowd in central Tirana.
Police responded by deploying water cannons in an attempt to disperse the gathering and restore order in the area.
Clashes briefly broke out as security forces pushed back the crowd, with protesters continuing to chant slogans against the project.
Authorities say the situation became increasingly volatile after repeated attempts to control the growing demonstration failed.
This marks the fourth consecutive day of protests, highlighting rising anger and sustained public opposition to the development plan.
Police have since reinforced their presence across key areas of the capital to prevent further escalation.
Officials are urging calm as discussions over the project continue amid political debate and public scrutiny.
The situation remains tense in Tirana as authorities monitor the possibility of further demonstrations in the coming days.
