In the capital, Tirana, police once again tried to push back protesters on Tuesday evening by firing tear gas and using water cannons.

High school and university students are demanding lower tuition fees and increased government investment in education. They are also protesting corruption in the education system and calling for Prime Minister Edi Rama to resign.

On Tuesday, Rama claimed that "hybrid warfare" was behind the unrest and repeated his accusations that "foreign actors" were involved.
