At midnight, the situation became tense again. The protesters regrouped and threw stones and Molotov cocktails at the police, and burned several police cars. At the same time, the leader of the Solidarity Party, who has obtained enough votes to successfully enter the parliament, agreed to re-election and called on other parties with more than 7% of the vote to join the ranks.
