Lawmakers throw eggs to governor during plenary

Albanian opposition lawmakers attacked Gov.Edi Rama with eggs and flour during plenary after discussions about the earlier arrests of two dozen citizens became heated.

Television broadcasts showed the scuffle in the capital, Tirana.

Two dozen citizens were arrested about two weeks ago after they burned down newly installed pay points during protests against the launch of a motorway toll in the northern city of Kukes.

Report says the opposition supports the alleged perpetrators and is calling for their immediate release.
