VIDEO/ Incident at Parliament/ Socialist Party MP Erion Braçe physically clashes with journalist Marsel Rupi

An incident occurred near the Parliament Presidency, where Socialist Party MP Erion Braçe violently shoved News24 journalist Marsel Rupi.

The journalist approached Braçe for an interview, but the socialist’s reaction was immediate and aggressive.

As seen in the footage, Braçe then also clashes with a diaspora activist, whom he accuses of growing drugs in Great Britain.

In an attempt to clarify the incident, Braçe channels the tension toward the diaspora activist, who also recorded the footage of the clash.

The event comes at a time of heightened political tension in Tirana, as citizens’ protests demanding the removal of Prime Minister Edi Rama and his government have been ongoing for days in Tirana.
