Creation of the Reformed Socialist Party - PS leaders speak Zeneli: I have my own party. It is the PS For some time now, the idea of the "virus" of division in the largest opposition party has been floated. As in many such cases, the "viral origin" has been the presidency. This time, the idea of creating a new socialist party emerged after several rumors sparked by a journalist's question, according to which a request for the creation of the Reformed PS had been filed with the Ministry of Justice, with the initiative committee allegedly including some of the so-called "fifth ones" or "rebels" of the PS. But the shadows of suspicion are gradually falling more and more heavily. According to socialist leaders, none of the five is an initiator of the newest political creation. In fact, one of those most vocal in complaining, Bashkim Zeneli, has firmly declared that "my party is the PS". page 9

AD after the attack Referring to the attacks by the authorities against his party, Zogaj mentioned yesterday the four consecutive assassination attempts, the imprisonment of Zefi, the murder of Gjovalin Çekini, the police automatic weapons being used to stop MP Imami, as well as a series of interventions by law-enforcement bodies to break up rallies of PAD leaders with their electorate. At the end of his speech, Zogaj said that the Democratic Alliance does not conduct investigations, but is concerned about these serious acts of terrorism and calls for solidarity from the entire Albanian public. Ceka added that - "this attack paints a bleak picture created by the approval of unconstitutional laws, by the information blackout, by the involvement of certain segments of the Order forces and SHIK against the opposition, and by the manipulation of presidential powers in connection with the preparation of the election campaign". page 2
