Yesterday at a press conference, PS announced its electoral platform Pëllumbi: There is no “fifth” in the PS There are seven “priorities and objectives” that PS proposed yesterday at the press conference to the Albanian electorate: the maximum effort to ensure free elections, the PS’s readiness for pre- and post-election alliances, the implementation of modern concepts of the rule of law, the offering of a program based on progress and not stagnation, the creation of a society based on a mixed market economy, the provision of stability, employment, and the promise of a democracy without fear and without political revenge. page 3

The Socialist Party is expected to be reformed

A spirit of division is blowing through the PS The initiator is President Berisha Reliable sources say that attempts to split the PS and create a new socialist party are close to finalization. The special feature of this party is that President Berisha is its initiator. The names of the other initiators are still unknown, but money, support in the official media, and backing abroad have been offered from the side of power. This news was made public yesterday by the socialist deputy leader Pëllumbi, but the Ministry of Justice denied this fact. page 4
