马其顿议会选举一名阿尔巴尼亚族裔担任议长后，抗议者星期四袭击了首都斯科普里的议会，丢掷椅子并袭击议员。
现场直播的电视画面显示，反对党社会民主党的领导人左兰·扎伊夫的前额流血。
示威者封锁了议会大门，拒绝让议员离开，他们在议员们面前挥舞旗帜，高呼“叛徒”。
议会大楼外的警力发射了眩晕弹以驱散人群。
来自社会民主党和阿尔巴尼亚族裔政党的议员们选举马其顿前国防部长塔拉特·查费里出任议长。马其顿没有一个有效的政府。
保守派赢得了去年12月的议会选举，但是没有足够的议席组建政府。
Protesters stormed the Macedonian parliament in Skopje Thursday, throwing chairs and attacking lawmakers after they elected an ethnic Albanian speaker.
The leader of the opposition Social Democrats, Zoran Zaev, was seen on live television with blood on his forehead.
Demonstrators blocked the door of the chamber, refusing to let lawmakers leave as they waved flags in their faces and shouted “traitors.”
Police outside the building fired stun grenades to break up the crowd.
Lawmakers from the Social Democrats and ethnic Albanian parties elected former defense minister Talat Xhaferi speaker, even though the country has no functioning government.
The conservatives won December’s parliamentary election, but without enough seats to form a government.
