ALBANIAN protestors draped their flag over the iconic Winston Churchill statue in Parliament Square on Saturday – as they hit back at Home Secretary Suella Braverman.
Around 1500 Albanians gathered outside the Houses of Parliament to stage the mass protest.
Veteran Conservative MP John Hayes called the protest “insulting and staggering”.
He added: “These protesters have targeted a statue of our great war leader Sir Winston Churchill.”
“That is deeply offensive as we gather in remembrance to the fallen this weekend.”
Footage shared online showed demonstrators holding Albanian national flags with the double-headed eagle as the group chanted songs in their native language.

The group also occupied roads in Westminster whilst chanting “Shame on you”.
One protestor held a placard that said: “I am Albanian, I am not a criminal, I work very hard & pay more tax than the Prime Minister’s wife.”
It comes as Home Secretary Suella Braverman came under fire after labelling the spike in Albanian migrants arriving in small boats as an “invasion”.
Albanians have accounted for around 12,000 of the over 40,000 migrants who have come to the UK this year.
