In Skanderbeg Square, in the PS in Skanderbeg Square, the editorial office and the apparatus were accused of lowering the camera. Such actions by the police have happened only with journalists from foreign newspapers.

It is because of this that the protest is spreading and being taken up by Albanian journalists.
