Instead of the socialists, no one is considered. The party members who are trying to paint the trees red are not socialists; they are not recognized. [...] But that puts back in place the lost members of the collectives that were separated long ago from the peasantry and the peasants. On the other hand, it is said that “Our comrades from the Socialist Party” are nothing other than those who, besides coming with a communist vocabulary, also use a brutal language in public. [...] Since the names of the socialist leaders in the area are linked to the former regime, it is clear that nothing will change. [...]

At the presentations of local candidates, even 15 voters do not gather in the forums The rallies presenting the local-government candidates being held by the PS have not brought even a spark of enthusiasm to those attending these meetings. At least this is clearly seen by an experienced eye, even from the demonstrations that have been held in “Avni Rustemi” square, where it seems the mood of the left-wing electorate is running on reverse countdown. At the penultimate meeting in Shkodër with the socialists, where the candidates for the municipality and the communes were presented, the leader of the opposition, Skënder Gjinushi, chose the harshest words. According to him, the socialists should gather every day in the squares to show their strength. In Shkodër, instead of the force of numbers, the emptiness of the podium was noticed. For example, the socialists of Shkodër had planned to hold the rally at 5:00 p.m., but at that hour in the square in front of the prefecture there were only 70–80 people, while around 8:00 p.m. the number of supporters rose to 200. In Molas of Kukës, with 15 forum members, the order from the center to take part in the campaign had still not been implemented. The socialists of this area continue to debate the dismissal of the district chairman, who according to them was appointed by the center. Skënder Gjinushi, chairman of PBDNJ, took part in the Kukës meeting where he invited voters to vote for the socialist candidates. On the other hand, the residents of the area expressed dissatisfaction that the PS has not kept the promises of the previous campaign. P A G E 2

The television favors the socialists In his letter to the Minister of Social Affairs regarding TVSH, he protests against the way the public television is handling the election campaign. He states that the news and debate programs have given a one-sided portrayal, favoring the candidates and representatives of the Socialist opposition. According to him, TVSH has ignored the activities of the other political forces and has significantly reduced the time devoted to covering them. The protest emphasizes that this approach violates the principle of equality between the parties in the electoral race and creates an unfair informational climate for the public. It demands that the state television respect professional standards and immediately correct this trend. P A G E 3
