Tension and clashes in Parliament yesterday. The majority passes the electoral law
Opposition: Citizens, occupy the squares to protest constitutional violations
Dokle: We will request Skënderbej Square so we can demonstrate against the constitutional violations. Tomorrow we will submit the request and personally ask Berisha to give us Skënderbej Square. If he does not give us permission, we will take it without permission.
Gjinushi: Under these circumstances, I think we are on the brink of the restoration of a neo-dictatorship, and only the people’s vote can bring it down.
Kalakulla: This law, as it has been passed, is a deliberate blow, first and foremost against right-wing political forces. Its aim is to exclude the right from active political life here in Albania, and this is undoubtedly detrimental to democracy.

Proceedings resume over Italian aid
Former Italian Foreign Minister Xhani de Mikelis accused
The case of Italian aid to Albania has been reopened once again. This time, on the other side of the Adriatic, former Foreign Minister Xhani de Mikelis himself is expected to sit in the dock next June. On Wednesday, the Italian Senate ratified the Rome prosecutor’s request to lift the immunity of de Mikelis, who was foreign minister at the time. The investigation into de Mikelis concerns the sum of 10 billion lire that the Italian government allocated as an emergency fund for Albania. But “this new trial that will open in Rome cannot produce new facts to the detriment of Fatos Nano,” his lawyer Përparim Sanxhaku declared yesterday.
