Ambulance pelted with stones during protest, Agency for Media and Information appeals to citizens

During a protest held today, an ambulance was pelted with stones and, according to footage, its windows were broken. The incident put the medical staff inside the vehicle at risk.

Following the incident, the Prime Minister’s Office called on citizens to respect medical teams and ensure ambulances can pass freely.

Full statement:

The Agency for Media and Information appeals to citizens and protesters not to obstruct the work of emergency medical teams and to allow ambulances to pass without hindrance.

Ambulances and healthcare personnel are on the ground to protect the lives of all citizens.

Blocking an ambulance is not a form of protest; it is an act that could put at risk people waiting for urgent assistance.

No situation, claim or level of tension justifies stopping ambulances or endangering medical personnel.

Respect healthcare workers and make way for ambulances.

Human life comes before everything else.
