Socialists are stronger than ever today
From the activity of the PS in the regions
Representatives of four political forces for discussions on the draft constitution In the district of P., as the professor described it in the meeting with representatives of the town's women, a special seminar was open. It was attended by independent specialists, citizens and representatives of different political forces. ALBANIAN OFFICIALS INFORM FOREIGN MISSIONS Realism of our alternative LUAN NUMA[?]A, secretary of the PS Steering Council in Shijak. Despite difficult economic and social conditions, the involvement of coalitions in tenders and widespread moral decay, the path of the socialists is clear: to organize and to demonstrate in practice the realism of their alternative. Seventy days before the elections of 26 October, the PS in the district remains a powerful force with 1,410 members, in 63 organizations, with an increase of 300 new members. Considering that the PS is a force that has returned to the people and to all social strata, we are making efforts for its broader affirmation. In the town of Selenica, taking into account the push by the PDBNJ for local power, work has been carried out patiently and prudently, making it possible to bring many influential elements in the economic and political life of the town closer. Here we note good coordination between PS councillors and those from the independent sphere, which has created an atmosphere of trust. At the center of the party organization's attention are the problems related to production, employment and the prospects of young people. Much work has been done to cope with the situations created after the political changes, as well as to establish order in the local bodies. In the district, through contact with the people, a positive assessment of the socialist alternative is noted. In many villages of the district the party base has expanded and its influence is being consolidated. The PS leadership is carefully analyzing all problems arising from the base and is taking measures to improve organizational work. It is requested that every member contribute to raising the party's prestige and expanding alliances with other progressive factors.
Albania needs the cooperation of political forces
Dr. Spaz[?] Plluxha: the harsh conflict between the right and the left harms the democratization process, Albanian democracy and the parliamentary republic.
Dr. Spaz[?] Plluxha, a well-known intellectual, in an interview given to our newspaper, notes that the harsh conflict between the right and the left harms the democratization process, Albanian democracy and the parliamentary republic. He believes that the country's future must be built on dialogue and consensus. According to him, reforms cannot move forward without political understanding and without the involvement of all major forces. In these conditions the country needs a new political culture, far from the language of hatred and exclusion. He expresses concern about polarization and about efforts to monopolize institutions. In a parliamentary republic, he says, the opposition is a legitimate part of the system and not an enemy that must be destroyed. Only a climate of cooperation and institutional respect can help Albania get out of the many difficulties of the transition.
Realism of our alternative
LUAN NUMA[?]A, secretary of the PS Steering Council in Shijak
Despite extreme poverty, political uncertainties, the lack of standards and the need for a new spirit of cooperation, socialist alternatives remain real. This also emerges from numerous contacts with people, from their reactions and from participation in party organizations. In the conditions of a severe economic and social situation, the PS must appear as a responsible force, with a clear program and honest people. On this path our influence has also grown in areas where we were previously weaker. Citizens' problems are linked to work, bread, education and health; therefore politics must enter everyday life. The party organizations are trying to be closer to people and to support any initiative for local development.

15 November, a push came for a turn in the solution of the national question, especially that of Kosovo. It is necessary to clarify and suspend all adventurist actions of the Kosovo elite, which bring self-restraint and insecurity. There is no other path than political dialogue, the affirmation of democratic values and the preservation of regional stability.
