Elections, Albania's acceleration

Socialist Party - Party of the alternative PSSH Chairman Fatos Nano takes part in the meeting of the Tirana PS Steering Committee We know very well who the culprits of this crisis are. We know that this crisis is, first and foremost, political. It is political because Berisha's policy plunged the country into crisis. What policy? A policy of corruption, of deforming institutions and concentrating responsibility for power in one hand, of atomization, of clientelism, of dangerous economic adventures, of keeping Albanians away from basic human rights and from the chance to integrate into the market economy and into Europe. It is a policy of the failure of the economy and its governance and of the failure of its rulers and of contempt for those who have left, for emigrants, for the stateless, for prisoners. Otherwise there is no bread, no work, no money, censorship, violence, desecration, salt. You[?] ... Albanians know who brought about this crisis, which is why we are sure that they will know how to express their democratic stance toward this policy through their vote. Whether Bashkim Fino wants it or not, the head of the institutional transition must continue. Only this man from the crisis. Only this event. Only this transfer. Only this election. Only this government. Only this normal parliament and of Albania. DECLARATION OF THE US GOVERNMENT Whether Bashkim Fino wants it or not, the head of the institutional transition must continue. Only this man from the crisis. Only this transfer. Only this election. Only this normal parliament and of Albania.
