The Democratic Party held its “last mass” on Sunday. This time, neither the words of the Bible nor the words of Jesus were read or preached. Instead, the results were preached of the survey by the “opinion survey groups of the Faculty of Philology and Sociology of the University of Tirana.” They were ghosts Phantom poll. PD does not win A failed attempt to avoid the panic of defeat -There is no Faculty of Philology-Sociology at the University of Tirana -The Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Head of the Sociology-Philosophy Department state that the survey was not officially carried out by their Faculty -The survey was conducted by philosophy lecturer Aleksander Kocani, who refuses to provide detailed data about the survey -Kocani: “It is my work. No, no. If you had paid me to carry out the survey, then I would have been obliged to give information only to you and to no one else!!! The motive was Gramoz Ruci’s statement that “there are PD polls showing that PS wins 60%” Page 2

Yesterday at the Constitutional Court. The “Genocide Law” has changed battlefields The “Genocide Law” has changed battlefields. The debate over it yesterday morning moved from the Parliament chamber and the pages of the newspapers to be concluded for trial in a regular session at the Constitutional Court. The reason for this were precisely the two requests from the parliamentary groups of the opposition parties PS and PSD, which demanded that it be deemed unconstitutional. Thus, yesterday, in defending this request, before the judicial panel chaired by Mr. Gjata, appeared Dokle, Abdiu and Majko from the Socialist Party and Gjinushi, Milo as representatives of the Social Democratic Party. The “independent” Constitutional Court withdraws to make a decision! Page 3

Bulgaria: The majority of the people vote for the socialist alternative Zhan Videnov: “The democratic left will lead the country and the municipalities” -The Socialist Party and its coalition win the majority with over 42 percent of the votes, or 18% more than the Democratic Party in opposition -In Sofia, Varna and Ruse the runoff will decide The local elections were held the day before yesterday throughout Bulgaria. As analysts and polls had predicted, these elections were won by a clear margin by the Socialist Party and its coalition. After the victory in last year’s parliamentary elections, the Bulgarian socialists, with their alternatives and platforms for gradually integrating into the capitalist market economy over several months in government, showed superiority over the previous governments of the Democratic Party. This was the reason they significantly increased their electorate, compared with the democratic parties. The latter in the local elections received only 24% of the votes, while the People’s Party won 8.5%, the Social Democrats 5.9%, and the Business Bloc 4.1%. The Communist Party and several other parties received very little. It should be emphasized that the characteristic of these elections was that they were held peacefully and without any incident.

Last night Albanian television did not give the news of the victory of the Bulgarian socialists in the local elections in their country. This is not accidental. TVSH has long been carrying out attacks against the socialists and the prime minister of a friendly country. Yet no one listened to them in Bulgaria. The information embargo to hide the truth of the socialists’ victory in Bulgaria at the very least testifies to the professional perversity of the editors and leaders of the news department and of the institution itself.

“The law has been drafted to satisfy the political appetites of a group of people dressed with power, turning Albania 50 years back”

“We are asking for it to be declared unconstitutional because we have a legal obligation under the Constitutional Provisions, the Constitutional Court and the International Conventions”
