Guards officers demanded a physical checks of the Democratic Party's (DP) MPs, who refused refused with the argument that it is in violation of the Assembly's regulations.

Meanwhile, dozens of guards surrounded the hall, and the opposition MPs gathered the chairs again.

Some of the opposition MPs clashed with the guards, while Flamur Noka lit an orange flare.

After this action, the Speaker of the Assembly, Lindita Nikolla, excluded him from the plenary session. Noka did not leave, but set fire to the papers, while also trying to set fire to the chairs piled up in the pulpit.

This serious action was prevented by the guards who extinguished the fire.

Amid the chaos and the collision of the tables by the opposition MPs, the plenary session was closed by order of Nikola until a second announcement.

However, this is the same scenario repeated in the last plenary sessions in the Assembly.
