PS-PD, alliance against the small parties

Political whirlwind toward power? Agron Alibali argues: Two [votes?] earlier, an imperfect alternation against Berisha with Zall Basha[?] The electoral field, the “pink” trap “Berisha, the former CIA agent” The electoral field, the “pink” trap The negotiations have begun to fuel electoral intrigue. Yesterday, the Constitutional Court crushed the plans of the small parties. “In the game beyond the high walls[…] for the established democracy and political development. Therefore, this is one of the electoral reforms touched by the strategic parties, which has perhaps something unusual, which has ended up harming the small parties”. The main points of the discussion were a new outline for the level of the left and socialist parliamentary group. In party time, the assessment of the proportional character of parties and proportional justice with majoritarian percentages has been proposed as a solution. Since in our country the mixed voting system has brought no few consequences, the use of the coalition formula between the two big parties remains evident. In this unclear environment, the small parties see themselves threatened by the new electoral scheme. The electoral field, the “pink” trap In a climate of tension and uncertainty, this formula is seen as an attempt to dominate and eliminate spaces of competition for the smaller political forces. Representatives of these parties have warned that they will oppose this decision and the consequences it may bring for the upcoming elections. “Berisha, the former CIA agent” This accusation was made in the context of the day’s political polemics and was used as a symbol of harsh electoral rhetoric. Behind it lie the clashes and calculations for power among the country’s main political actors.

Commissioner Muosmani: “It is not true”

Commissioner Muosmani: “It is not true” Sokol Muosmani, in connection with yesterday’s article in “Koha Jonë”, which said that his son had fallen in the war, gave another response last night. “I have done a routine analysis of the district,” he declared. In the hall he also mentioned [M]evlos(?) of Zazarit, he did not understand, since I have not seen it to enter this game. The seventh(?) of the [rays?] of the state and its links with special. [but now he is demanding that with special, but now he is demanding that [I have?] been assigned and he alone enforces the [law?]...”

PS also withdraws from electoral zone no. 17

In electoral zone no. 17 the same election problem has occurred. 9 newspapers “Koha Jonë”, “Rilindja Demokratike”, “Parlamenti” etc. are trying to highlight the lack of coordination and the candidate lists. At the center of the debate have also been PSD, PAD, PDK, PBNDJ and several other right-wing and left-wing forces. All these parties have become involved in electoral movements, while there are candidate names and dividing packages that concern the [c]andidates better. In an unclear manner and with different reactions, the parties have remained in a situation that is expected to be resolved before A.Q.Z.

Yesterday at the Constitutional Court: proportional mandates according to majoritarian percentages, 10 small parties threaten to block the elections
