INTERVIEW/ THE PS CHAIRMAN: FRD IS A NEW PD. WE WILL NOT VOTE FOR THE HEAD OF THE CEC Edi Rama: Without the LSI, we have more votes INTERVIEW/ THE PS CHAIRMAN: FRD IS A NEW PD. WE WILL NOT VOTE FOR THE HEAD OF THE CEC “TOPI IKEN TE BERISHA” Edi Rama: Without the LSI, we have more votes The Socialist leader’s “calculations”: With the LSI in Durrës we won by 300 votes, without the LSI by 3,000 votes. With the LSI in Elbasan we won on the last ballot box, without the LSI by 5,000 votes The chairman of the Socialist Party, Edi Rama, declared yesterday on the program “Intervista” by journalist Alfred Peza on “Vizion Plus”, that he will win next year’s parliamentary elections, with or without the LSI. What is happening and when is the CEC expected to be constituted? By law the procedure is so complicated that the chair belongs in any case to the majority. And that is normal, I believe, regardless of the fact that the current majority is a majority with no morality, since it emerged from stolen votes. And what the other side, namely the opposition, does is discard two candidacies and leave two of the four that remain at the end. We will not take part in that vote, because the procedure was in constant violation of the law itself. And in the end, there is no reason for us to take part in the crowning of this procedure. So, will we boycott the moment of electing the new chairwoman? We will not boycott, but we will not take part. Continues on pages 2-3
