Today, defeat for the “coalition for smuggling.” The Democrats will know how to protect their votes. In the 14 municipalities and communes, the vote will be blue Here is why one should vote for the Democratic Party By Genc POLLO ON PAGE 3

By Bardhyl LONDO After the wedding of 23 June with which the old communists and newly arrived left-wing segments entered into a new marriage, the supporters and fanatics of the strange coalition of the “right-wingers” and the “left-wingers” rushed to show their strength through pressure. They began with the Aggressor and the attacks against the CEC, against the law, against the competition. In the electoral campaign it was clearly seen that the entire state machinery was put at the service of the ruling candidates. In cities and communes, the police, the administration and the structures of local power were used to intimidate voters and commissioners. Threats against opposition candidates, the obstruction of electoral meetings, the use of state resources, the manipulation of lists and pressure on polling-station commissions make up an alarming picture. Clear signs of a climate of fear and insecurity have emerged, with the aim of distorting the free will of voters. However, citizens must remain resolute. Free vote is the foundation of democracy and its protection is a civic duty. Any attempt at falsification will fail in the face of the popular will and the opposition’s commitment to defend every vote. Today is a day of testing for the institutions and for the citizens. Albania needs honest elections and a result that reflects the real will of the people, not the imposition of power.
