Affected by tear gas, citizens are transported by ambulance. Police ready the water cannon

The situation outside Parliament has become tense as it is learned that pepper spray was fired towards the protesters after they tried to break through the police cordon. Meanwhile, journalist Eni Ferhati reports that the police water cannon truck has also been readied to disperse the crowd of citizens.

Several of the protesters were taken to hospital by ambulance for first medical aid after some had problems from the burning spray used by the police. But several officers also suffered minor injuries after being hit with bottles and other objects.

The citizens are seen determined to stay and protest, among them also representatives of some of the municipalities affected by the new territorial reform proposed by the SP.
