Although Albania has a multi -party system, power alternates virtually between two main forces – the Socialists and the center -right Democratic Party – from the fall of communism in the early 1990s.

The fact that the Democrats had hired the Chris Latsivitathe communication “magician»Of the election campaign of Republican who also organized Donald Trump’s return in 2024, did not seem to disturb Rama.

Asked if Albania has some advice on Ukraine, which is also a candidate for EU accession, Mr Rama emphasized Ukraine’s unique position in the process of integration.

‘Albania does not undertake to offer courses in Ukraine. On the contrary, we can only learn from Ukraine – from the price that its people are willing to pay for their course to the West and the European Union. “he said.

Bitter defeat for Berisha with Rama’s charges

At the same time, the main opposition party, the Democratic Party- who seem to have secured about 52 seats in Parliament- accused Rama’s party of influencing voters.

“If tens of thousands of people are employed by the exchanges of their vote … If the polls are surrounded by party faithful on all sides … then we know how to name these elections”, said the leader of the Democratic Party Sali Berisha.

Hoping to carry out a political return similar to Return of Trump in 2024Albania’s center -right Democratic Party hired the strategic adviser to Trump’s election campaign, Latsivita, to help form their message and direct their campaign.

THE Lacquits reinforced Berisha’s allegations for manipulation of the election In a post on X, sharing a report from the local news channel SYRI TV on a supposed socialist party’s voting office near a Tirana electoral section.

“What the theft of votes in Albania looks like … Courtesy of Rama’s drug government”Latsivita said his post.
