Selfo refutes Arbnori’s refutation Page 4 The myth of two-party rule is overturned

. The runoff that has apparently drawn the most attention is the one for Shkodër Municipality. This is perhaps not only because Shkodër, by virtue of one of its characteristics, has great value, above all political value, to the extent that every party would covet it. Nor can it be solely because of the consideration given to the “surprise” brought by the electoral success of the Right. If that were so, Shkodër would be “targeted” in an extraordinarily concentrated way only by the right-wing forces that managed to achieve a successful, dignified and genuinely competitive alliance. But the fact that the hands of the DP have also dug in firmly into the walls of Rozafa Castle—which, figuratively speaking, is the symbol of the city (its municipality) now under attack—shows that the latter, too, will not easily accept a possible defeat in Shkodër. This is confirmed not only by the caliber of the DP’s senior cadre group, installed there in recent days, but also by the crescendo that characterizes the tone of the statements, accusations and mutual refutations, as election day approaches. It is easy to understand why the “United Shkodër Right” has drawn Selfo and Durollari’s “weariness” from the Center to its side. Continued on page 5
