Since 25.02.1994 this question has again been raised with considerable concern by various political forces in the country, and especially by the Republican Party, which in the parliamentary commission in the Assembly of Albania has once more brought up this issue. In addition, republican leaders and other opposition representatives stressed that Law 7501, adopted for the distribution of land, has been implemented unfairly and that numerous problems continue in the countryside. They called for a review of its implementation, linking it to property rights, justice, and political stability. In the debates held in Parliament, the consequences this law has caused in village conflicts and in relations between communities were also mentioned. The article emphasizes that the Republican Party is seeking to present itself as a right-wing force in the Albanian political spectrum, focusing on property reform and the protection of peasant interests. The criticism is directed against the way land has been distributed and the lack of a fair solution for former owners.
