Last week, the Macedonian parliament was stormed by protesters after an ethnic Albanian lawmaker Talat Xhaferi was elected a speaker. Several opposition lawmakers were beaten, while others were blocked inside the building. Police had to intervene to free them. According to local media reports, some 109 people were injured in the clashes.
