Today its official name is “Socialist Party of Albania (PSSh)”. “The time has come for us to free ourselves from the old name, since it is no longer suitable for the times we live in or for the future of our party. We are a modern political formation and must reflect that in our symbols too,” said one of the members of the PS leadership. Other sources clarified that the “red rose” will be placed at the center of the new emblem, while the name will be written without the old abbreviation.
