Linda Rama: Between Family, Work and Albania’s Future 10 months before the general elections, the political parties have
started their electoral calculations. The Red and Black Alliance have a
clear vision of the electoral objectives for their first confrontation
with the Albanian citizens. But which are the possible allies of this
political force?
“We will ally with the disappointed, the unemployed and the patriotic movement. We have 15 small parties that are willing to join us, but we will make no names for avoiding possible pressures from the mafia regime of Sali Berisha. We want part of the electorate without entering in coalition with the big parties. We believe that there is a group of electors that are against both DP and SP. 38% of the Albanians vote for the DP and SP, because they see them like two relic trains: one is a Russian train and the other a Chinese one, which unfortunately are on a crossroad. It is time for the Albanians to find an alternative fast train”, Spahiu declared.
Kreshnik Spahiu confirmed that the RBA will focus on the citizens who do not vote for the SP and DP, and who are considered as indifferent voters who according to Spahiu reach 500.000.
“We have a false opposition and government in Albania, which in the best case do not have more than 1/3rd of the voters. Referring to the OSCE-ODIHR and Central Election Commission statistics, Albania has 3.1 million voters. DP has 610.000 of them, together with the stolen votes, and SP has 620.000. Both make 38%. The SP votes make 19-20%, which means that not every opposition element means that he votes for the SP. Wi think that there are 62%, or 350.000 votes of other parties that do not vote the DP or the SP. 450.000 indifferent voters who can hardly wait new alternatives, and we have a high number of emigrants’ votes. In this context we think that the Albanians demand another Albania, and most of the population is waiting to jump on an alternative train”, Spahiu declared.
Edi Rama left an open possibility to make a coalition with the RBA, but according to Spahiu, this is an invitation that comes in a moment when Rama and Berisha finalized their next political bargain, which is the electoral code.
