Rama, the last appeal for the Electoral College

The opposition leader, Edi Rama, addressed to the Electoral College an
appeal for brining justice, one day before this College will
take the decision for reviewing the last request of the Socialist Party.

According to the Socialist leader, the Electoral College must not close its eyes in front of an electoral cannibalism that changed the result of Tirana elections.

“The result that shows the loser as a winner is visible evidence for the destruction of the elections, which were stolen on table. It is the evidence of total invalidity, because this result was brought after Sali Berisha put his hands in Tirana’s elections, while the counting process had shown him a loser”, Rama declared.

For the Socialists, the Albanian Constitution, the international standards set by the Commission of Venice and the precedents of the Electoral College itself in these elections puts this institution in front of a great challenge. In support of this idea, the opposition leader declared that the same judge panel, for the same inconsistencies, has canceled the elections in some municipal units.

“As winners of these elections and on behalf of the national and public interest, for not allowing a deterioration of this election crisis in Albania, but on the contrary, for getting the opportunity to end this crisis that has been going on for two years. We are ready to return in front of the sovereign people of Tirana for a retrial through vote”, Rama declared.

According to the SP, this is a challenge that goes beyond the political goals, a challenge between law and illegality.

“Those who have sent bodyguards for pressuring the judges, want to divide you from the road of justice, want to oblige you to choose oppression before the power of the people. Want to use you as anti-constitutional, anti-democratic and illegal means, which is what is blocking every day the road of this people towards the future they deserve. You must be sure that by defeating fear with the power of justice, you will liberate not only yourselves in front of the Constitution of the Sovereign people, but you will also write down a new page of hope in the road towards justice”, Rama added.

For the opposition leader, the right decision of the Electoral College could open its way to another reality in Albania, where justice would show that it cannot be buried by the violence of the government.
