24 October 2000

On Thursday, Tirana takes to the square

Mass protest against the manipulators of the October 1 elections The Democratic Party invites all the citizens of Tirana to join powerful protests against the government that stole the vote of the Albanians and the electoral fraud in the October 1 elections. All of us, on Thursday at 17:00, in “Skënderbej” Square, to protest the massive manipulation and destruction of the electoral process by today's rulers. No one should sit quietly at home; no one can forgive the theft of the vote, the violation of dignity, and the farce of October 1.

Let us rise up strongly against the humiliation of October 1
