Chaos in the Socialist Party. Nano out of office

Socialists block the election results in Koz. Blackmail against President Berisha Chaos in the Socialist Party. Nano out of office PS commissioners are falsifiers and deceivers. The failure of the “Nano 3” project disorients the socialist camp Hajdari: Sankakuar confuses amnesty with pardon if Nano is so, he is not convicted. If he is convicted, does it matter? The act and the enforcement of the sentence. DPA, Azen Hajdari the apparent indifference of Nano and their agreement with Berisha. If the convicted person is sentenced to more than 2.5 years in prison, according to the constitutional amendment he automatically becomes incapable of performing public functions. As it seems, for lesser sentences too, the judge decides and, if the accused poses a danger or shows no hope of reintegration, makes the prison sentence effective. So was Berisha right or not? He acted according to the Constitution. The socialists are manipulating it deliberately in order to create a climate of tension and chaos. The chairman of the Socialist Party, Mr. Nano, has been convicted by a final court decision, regardless of the amnesty. The latter does not annul the sentence, but only forgives the remaining part of it. Transparency, a condition for our integration into PPD The Democratic Party yesterday valued the Presidency's proposal of the PPD to begin talks for PD membership as an act of great importance and with major positive consequences for the fate of our party and Albania. The decision on this issue of vital importance, it is stressed in the statement of the PD Information Office, came after serious and comprehensive efforts, in which there was no lack of evidence of constructive cooperation between the two parties. “The PD has found trust and support among the majority of the political forces that are members of the PPD. The impetus for this comes from the fact that our two parties are in opposition to the communist regime and from the seriousness with which human, civic and democratic values are defended.” says the PPD statement, published two days ago in the Belgian newspaper “De Morgen”. PS commissioners are falsifiers of water and deceivers According to reports from observers and PD commissioners at the polling stations of zone no. 79 (or, according to the old figure, 85) Pogradec, it is being reported that PS commissioners, in the polling stations of this zone, have carried out falsifications and manipulations with ballot papers and with the result. According to this report, at polling station no. 1, in Bulojan, ballot box documents were found with serial number 0472758 from polling station no. 66 of the village of Çlirimi, while at polling station no. 66 in the village of Çlirimi, sheets from polling station no. 31 in Bulojan were found, showing that the boxes had been switched. The dilemmas of the socialist camp have also set against each other a large part of the socialist MPs. Yesterday, even in the premises of the PS presidency, there were heated debates not only over the PD's demand for transparency but also over the issue of who will be the new leader of the socialist parliamentary group. Nano, according to the constitutional amendments and the penal code, cannot be the leader of the parliamentary group, but at present he has indicated that he will be the head of the group until the new prime minister is elected. But such a thing has caused discontent among some socialist MPs who consider it unconstitutional, since a deputy convicted by a final decision cannot even lead the socialist parliamentary group. This has made the party leadership confused, because after the departure of Haxhi Lleshi there are 12 unfilled seats and it has still not been decided how those seats in parliament will be filled. On the other hand, representatives of the opposition have assessed that the race for high positions within the socialist camp has started too early and is proving that the “Nano 3” project has failed. According to them, the lack of clarity over the key posts in the new majority is pushing the PS toward internal division. The dilemmas of the socialist camp have also set against each other a large part of the socialist MPs. Yesterday, even in the premises of the PS presidency, there were heated debates not only over the PD's demand for transparency but also over the issue of who will be the new leader of the socialist parliamentary group.
