Albanians tear down Berisha’s barricades

Massive voter support for the Socialist Party in the South and the North The election campaign being carried out by the left-wing opposition is showing that the Albanian people have neither fallen for, nor will they ever fall for, such provocations of national division. The Socialist Party is continuing its campaign with complete success in the South and North of the country. The meetings held in Peshkopi, Bulqizë, Burrel, Kukës, Krujë, Lezhë, etc. are showing nationwide support for the progressive opposition throughout the country . The Albanian people do not accept political barricades and the constitutional rule being rewritten day by day; they are showing friends and enemies alike that this people never does politics with a machete and a rifle. From the very beginning of today’s campaign, Albanians responded to the call of the candidate chosen by the nationwide coalition in large numbers, filling Tirana’s square to overflowing. This first political response has a significance that goes beyond the limits of further divisive national provocations. The Socialist Party is continuing its campaign with national support in the South and North of the country. The meetings held in Peshkopi, Bulqizë, Burrel, Kukës, Lezhë, etc. are showing nationwide support for the progressive opposition throughout the country.
