The leaders of the Socialist Party display inexplicable anti-reform ambitions PSSH — a party of values, the only alternative for the left?! The scenario, the bleak economic graphs, the strange promises and the intent of the man from Shkodra, its television channel, its little social party, and the symptoms of its miserable peasant-criminal politics have long been taking up space on the propaganda platform of PSSH. The instruments of this party's verbal aggression have now become monotonous and excessive. If the structure of this political aggression were examined coolly, not only the programmatic and moral distortions of the Socialist Party would become clear, but also the real inability of its leadership to create a credible governing alternative. Instead, what stands out is only the attempt to keep alive, through rhetoric, a deep crisis of identity. We are dealing with a party that wavers between nostalgia for the past and a hunger for power, without either ideological clarity or a reasoned social program. In many cases, its public representatives contradict one another, revealing that at the foundation of this formation there is no unity, but rather factions and personal interests. The leadership of the Socialist Party displays unmeasured ambitions. What is presented as pluralism of thought within the party in fact looks more like an unprecedented race for control and protagonism. In this sense, its crisis is not only political, but also moral and organizational. If the Socialist Party claims to be the main force of the opposition, it must speak less with slogans and more with responsibility. Otherwise, it remains hostage to an outdated vocabulary and a political practice that no longer convinces anyone. In this context, its attacks on institutions, reforms and efforts toward stabilization seem not like a defense of the public interest, but like a reflex of a deep insecurity about its own political future. That is why the PSSH crisis is not a passing episode, but the mirror of a structural problem: the lack of trust, cohesion and an alternative. Hence the question rightly posed is: PSSH — a party of values, the only alternative for the left?!

Debates and clarifications of the President of the Republic

Press conference of the Minister of Agriculture and Food, Hasan Halili The Ministry of Agriculture and Food yesterday presented the picture of progress in the agricultural reforms, placing emphasis on the results achieved and the new difficulties that require intervention. According to the minister, the process of land privatization and the distribution of agricultural assets has fundamentally changed the structure of production in the countryside. However, he stressed that the model used so far needs corrections in order to increase economic efficiency and curb the extreme fragmentation of property. Halili pointed out that Albanian farmers are facing a lack of capital, credit, inputs and secure markets, which makes greater support from the state and financial institutions essential. At the press conference it was said that the progress made so far is visible, but not enough to ensure sustainable development. In this framework, the ministry is planning measures to restructure service enterprises, improve the supply system and better direct production toward the market. Hasan Halili emphasized that agriculture remains a strategic sector and that the successes achieved so far should be seen as the basis for a new phase of deeper reforms.
