The 64th day of protests began with demonstrations. To avoid provocations, the organizers spread a tape between the protesters and the police from the beginning.
“This is the thin red line between us and the government. We watch the police. We are not afraid,” said one of the organizers.
And the police were well prepared. The National Assembly was surrounded by police and gendarmerie. Three ambulances were parked at the entrance.

Shortly after 10 in the morning, the eggs flew towards the parliament building. This time they were significantly fewer in number than on September 2, and no police officers were attacked.
Shortly before noon, the protesters addressed the Council of Ministers. In procession, they carried a huge national flag in front of the building.
In the morning, meanwhile, lawmakers began their session by shouting “Resignation” under the windows of the building, but gathered a quorum.
