The State Police has refuted the opposition's claim that a rapid intervention officer pulled out a gun from the PD deputy, Luan Baçi.

In a reaction to the media after the violent incident in the courtyard of the Parliament, the police announced that none of the officers were equipped with firearms.

According to the State Police, none of the employees showed their firearms to the protesters.

In a video posted on the social networks of MP Elda Hoti, during a clash with MPs Luan Baçi and Flamur Noka, a police officer can be seen putting his hand on his belt.

Deputy Baçi accused that the policeman had put the pistol on his chest, something that is not visible from the footage.
