PS: “Manipulated elections.” Foreign observers speak today PD wins in the first round. PS less than on 26 July 1992. Big cities in the runoff the end of a democratic adventure For Albanians, yet another dramatic parliamentary election adventure came to an end. Just as in the current power of the democratic government, defeat was inevitable for the leaders of that party as well. The Democratic Party’s election polls pointed to victory in the parliamentary elections of 20 October. This was publicly declared at party meetings and was presented in figures before Berisha, who never dared to publicly declare such a result if he were to condemn it before the West. However, it was made more difficult by Berisha’s boldness in taking it all the way to a process of voting not previously registered in Albania, as well as vote theft (fictitious cash voting). In addition, the result of yesterday’s local elections in Albania was portrayed as a sign anticipated by figures and rich in precedents. It is a clearly visible sign of a clean victory for the PD. It is another political move spoken in a familiar political chain: the opposition is punished so that it is made to play the role of constitutional policemen [...]- The way yesterday’s elections were conducted meant that the opposition, from the outset, was faced as usual with the state. It is surprising that it came out with arms in hand to defend its vote. Moreover, yesterday’s day was politically one of the calmest of recent years, despite the police authorities’ crowd participation. It happened that there was not even one area where it could have remained unsettled. It seems that the more evidence emerged and the stronger the opposition was, the more the justification for its claims of manipulation fell apart. Despite this calm state, Berisha, with an almost strange nervousness, returned for no apparent reason, accompanied by large police forces, to the polling station in the middle of the day, showing the public that even in free elections he would rule just as he always had. In this way he made clear, helping people understand a return to politics, that he also had an uncertain bad side. What was clearly noticed was that perhaps nothing could save the opposition. It happened to be in parliament. It happened to be in the union. It happened to be in the square. It happened to be on television. It happened to be in government. It happened to be in every other place where power itself could also be. The political turmoil that gripped the opposition was one from which others benefited. Yesterday it seemed that the moral defeat of the PS was finally confirmed. One of the reasons that makes this defeat harder for the PD. It did not conduct a victorious campaign as it presented itself to the Albanian democracies. They had won on 26 July with their political silence, with a vote that in a way they gifted to the old winner. All of this meant that the local elections implied, for the future, a humiliation and a hope rich in the PS’s internal appearances. They are clearly a sign of a heavy political victory. Limited to the local elections, they confirmed the punishment of the opposition of today’s political reception with the posing of the government’s ability to keep order at least until the end of the vote, and on the other hand they brought to the forefront the lack of culture and calm in the way a good part of Albanians understand political action. In truth, nothing could save the opposition from defeat. Not its groups, not its meetings, not its unions, not the support of the small number of demonstrators. It had built an opposition that was not wise and not in the service of politics, but rather as an instrument of its clashes with power. The lack of political culture in yesterday’s elections showed that the opposition was not simply what its wandering groups had posed in the square. It was an old reflex of a struggle that, in fact, had produced nothing on its side except weariness in society. These elections showed that the issue in Albania was not only the сменa of power, but also the change in the way politics is done.

Opposition leaders on the elections of 20 October eka: Mistake to enter the elections

There was no other loud reaction when any of the well-known politicians entered and ran as a PD candidate, one [...], in the PP capital, it was not planned. The large number of people theoretically reading the newspaper, and having even lost hope, was seeking more opposition information for symbolic intrigue; lately, they have no people with us in the opposition, against one? whether it might be for the reason. Rexhap Mejdani tried to escape defeat by already wavering and by his due duty, to come again, even if only for a declaration. And [...], his opponent, the opposition, had no chance to avoid him anywhere and not to neutralize him. Thus it complained and also that the end of the political parka was what was politically striking. This rector was not protected by the government and was a student of the supporters of the Tirana government and of his right to political life; but he had always found clear official support and, as much as he said, with difficulty, personal support as well. He could at least win among all the country’s problems as a man of greater value than to win the mandate of deputy. Nevertheless, the entry into the campaign of the people with a desire, the greater part of the educated took the side of tension. This tension would perhaps also be useful to the pages of “Koha Jonë”, where patience from [...], as in the mission with, if the presentation of the elections with all the development of the people and all the details of the scene. Moreover, official in “Koha Jonë”, where everything was put into question. Mejdani had won the fate and the politics with a failure, and the greater part of the educated took yesterday’s contest in a fatal way. This tension would perhaps be more useful with yesterday’s calm elections than with an editorial return. If everyone had won in the big capitals, the opposite of a politically failed candidate was Mejdani’s great political failure.
