The protest organized in front of the Maliq municipality to oppose the plan to merge this municipality and unite with Korça turned into a protest with verbal attacks, accusations and even physical confrontations against journalists.
At a time when representatives of various central and local media were interviewing protest participants, a person identified as one of the protest organizers, Arjan Asimi, began accusing and insulting journalists of being in the service of the regime.
There have even been physical clashes with journalists by some supporters of the protest. In such circumstances, journalists have abandoned reporting from this protest, notifying the Maliq police station about the situation. In Maliq, Arjan Asimi is also known as an exponent of the political entity "Albania is Made".
