Thousands of opposition supporters gather in the square, despite the Interior Minister’s threat The opposition protests in front of the Presidency over the Central Election Commission

By MP FERDINAND XHAFERRI While now the NO of the plenipotentiaries of the majority and the majority in the KQZ sounds nicer, they put the gain in their hands and applauded it. Apparently, they acted as they have until now, from day to day, making small cuts and additions to the voters, in order to do what they had intended to do. If we were to be convinced in view of what is truly legal, then we would be in the streets and not applauding. The interests of the red caste were growing and, more dangerously than ever before, the change in the structure. Not only through the intervention of a majority that, regardless of its propaganda and its absurd declaration that it would not run, closes the door to opposition candidates. It shifts control as much as possible into private hands. That is how KOZ was also being led from the chaos. Not only with the power to carry out the opposition, which is being challenged by the work on the voter lists. Now its government is also increasing interventions to make the manipulations clear. Apparently, under the guise of reforms, the position of power in the elections is being strengthened. Sali Berisha, not as a leader of the opponent, but as an opposition figure raising his voice, has continuously called for electoral honesty. The government, on the contrary, has tried to minimize any protest. In this sense, the opposition’s reaction in front of the Presidency is directly linked to the way the commission is being formed. When the majority holds the numbers, the opposition fears the distortion of the result. Therefore, this protest is as much against a formula as against a philosophy of rule. If the elections are to be free, every doubt about their administration must be removed. If not, then the crisis of trust deepens. [text partly unreadable]
