By Astrit PATOZI The socialists are trying to create a fake opinion, before the first-ever mayoral elections are held in Albania. Deliberately compromising such a process is truly an adventure. But the PS statement last night, the position or proposal made by the Council of Ministers for the reformulation of the CEC, has no consistency and, moreover, distorts it. Through this decision, the socialists seek to replace 3 of the governing coalition so as not to receive instructions anymore from the commissioners of the Administration. So, for the upcoming elections, when they are said to propose replacements of members of the Central Election Commission. But the PS statement, by manipulating a decision of the Council of Ministers, stands very far from the truth. The socialist proposals to make the partially composed structure work are justified by the socialist authorities in order to increase the number of parties participating in the elections. The authorities, in order to enable in Albania an electoral process equivalent to that in other states (?) means leaving the fate of the country in the hands of those who work with glasses and half-blindness, and the replaced person is treated as a denigrating act. Thus, it would be that the half-blind and the nearly blind would be replaced such as Ardian Klosi
