Things may get heated in Congress, but never do they fall apart like this.
Opposition lawmakers in Serbia threw smoke grenades and tear gas at fellow parliamentarians in a show of opposition to the government and to express their support for current student protests.
The demonstrations were a response to the collapse of a roof at a train station several months ago that killed 15 people and now threatens to bring down the country’s government.
The attack took place during a legislative session after the ruling coalition, led by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), approved the parliamentary agenda.
As the agenda was approved, several opposition politicians rushed toward the parliamentary speaker, clashing with security guards.
Other individuals then threw smoke grenades and tear gas, covering the room in black and pink smoke.
Two people were injured by the attack, according to House Speaker Ana Brnabic, with one suffering a stroke and currently in critical condition.
“The parliament will continue to work and to defend Serbia,” she told the session.
