Day 136 of anti-corruption protest in Tirana, Albania Today has been a big day, with a large protest of students outside the Ministry of Education starting around noon. The cops kept cool for a little while, but eventually used tear gas, water cannons, and night sticks and that is continuing hours later. It looks like some bonfires were set in the street. #FlamingoRevolution #Albania #Corruption #Balkans #Europe #Students #Protest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJlqCEGnTa4
