The Democrats have also stated that they see inconsistencies with the Constitution in the process of implementing the laws. In this context, “the PD will seek the reinstatement of the laws.” As can be seen, the PD is entering Parliament with concise and unified “visions” that represent only the leadership.

New movement in the PD: “If Nano returns, we will rebel”

No one will remain calm if Nano retakes the leadership of the Socialists. This is what Berisha’s declared supporters said yesterday; they see Nano’s return as a clear return of anti-Albanianism. P. 6
