The Albanian parliament has been facing significant disruptions as opposition parties protest what they describe as the authoritarian rule of the governing Socialist Party. Disturbances have been ongoing since October, instigated primarily by the center-right Democrats led by former Prime Minister and President Sali Berisha, who has been accused of corruption. Despite such interruptions, which include the use of flares, small fires, and seizure of microphones, the governing Socialists successfully passed the annual budget and other draft laws last Thursday.
