The four facts that show the polls
In the last two weeks, the media have been dealing with several polls, conducted by companies that have made before such electoral calculations in Albania, but also new companies.
Several televisions such as Report Tv, Ora News, Syri Tv and recently Euronews Albania, have published their polls. Polls that ultimately show the expectations of public opinion, and raise the hopes of political parties, the ruling one to extend the time at the head of government, or the opposition to overthrow the Socialists and take over the leadership of the government.
Undoubtedly, all the polls have some things in common, despite the fact that they are prepared by televisions that are already in Albania lined up with a political wing. Report Tv is known as a pro-government television station run by Carlo Bolino. Ora News was once with the DP, then closer to Rama, moving in fact according to the movement made by the SMI, ie President Ilir Meta.
Syri Tv of Çlirim Peka, is an opposition television station alongside former Prime Minister Berisha, but also with a love for Ilir Meta. On the other hand, the one that seems to be the most rational television is Euronews Albania, another international brand in Albania, which yesterday published the data of a survey that is probably more balanced than those of other media.
Anyway let’s look at the facts! All the polls have one thing in common, the great popular dissatisfaction with the country’s economy and development. So, Albanians couldn’t react differently after a pandemic, a devastating earthquake, or even an economy, where PPPs are tightening the government belt, which in turn is tightening the belt around the necks of Albanians.
There is no economic “boom”, there is no development of the employment sector, not to mention massive immigration. These are the commonalities that every poll gives, the popular dissatisfaction seems to be great. The second, polls show another fact.
The Socialist Party appears first in all cases, even in the polls prepared by Syri Tv of Çlirim Peka, even from the most opposition media, but also from the polls conducted by the companies contracted by the DP itself. The SP enjoys on average the support of almost 45 Albanians in all polls.
So, SP lead in safe mode, from 48 percent in 2017, today is 45 percent, a decrease of 3 percent that should probably have been greater, given the popular discontent. A third fact is that the opposition hasn’t been able to translate popular discontent into votes for it.
So, the popular dissatisfaction is great, but the DP and SMI are very low in voter support, even if compared to the Socialist Party. In all polls, the Democratic Party is trying to get it with maximum support, somewhere between 33-35 percent.
In fact, the electoral base of the Democratic Party has always been around 28-30 percent, and then it was Sali Berisha’s “mastery”, the gathering of allies and his political actions that brought him to power by maximizing votes. The DP comes out very low, almost half by half with popular discontent. This shows a lot, both for the skeptics and the supporters of Lulzim Basha, who have already started to understand that the leader of the Democratic Party doesn’t stick to the public opinion.
So there is no spiritual relationship of public opinion with him, and they don’t see him as hope and future for the country. On the other hand, the SMI is shrinking, and this is showed by the polls of Ilir Meta’s close friends, such as the case of Ora News, the seized television of the drug trafficker Xhemail Pasmaçiu, known to the public as Ylli Ndroqi.
The SMI is very low in the polls, both in the polls prepared by it, and in those prepared by the DP, and in those prepared by other political parties in Albania. Even in independent polls, it turns out there is a halving of followers it once had.
So, the common facts and truths that tells us all the polls are four First, the popular discontent; second, the leadership of the left; third, the distrust and lack of support for Lulzim Basha, and fourth, the free fall of the SMI.
These 4 data revealed by all the polls done so far, are 4 truths, 4 facts which show what the public opinion, opinion leaders or even the citizens themselves, already see and touch every day. Dissatisfaction with the government, the fact that the Socialists are more numerous in Albania, the fact that Lulzim Basha is a party leader imposed on DP membership, and that he cannot become a leader, and that Monika Kryemadhi has weakened more than ever the party Ilir Meta.
All statistical collected data have a name:he is called Lulzim Basha, who apparently is the only problem that hinders the growth of popular support for the opposition, to lead to the overthrow of Edi Rama./CNA.al

The names/ CNA.al reveals the candidates of the SMI list
A day before the submission of the names officially to the CEC, CNA.al has revealed the names of the SMI candidates who will lead the lists of the districts. The SMI led by Monika Kryemadhi will run in a separate coalition, not with Basha’s DP, a scheme to increase the number of seats, or to get as many votes as possible from the left SMI, which could harm the Socialist Party.
CNA.al brings below the main candidates, ie those whom the SMI calls safe. According to the votes received in three pairs of elections with the regional proportional system SMI has had a continuous increase.
In 2009, the SMI and its coalition received 84.000 votes and 4 seats, which they used to join the government with former Prime Minister Sali Berisha. In 2013, in coalition with the Socialists, the SMI received 180.000 votes and 16 seats.
In 2017 alone against the Rama-Basha alliance, the SMI led by Ilir Meta for the third time saw an increase, going 225 thousand votes and 19 seats. The April 25 elections, are the first under the leadership of Monika Kryemadhi, who has ousted many of its founders, leaders and former MPs from the party. The SMI comes up in this election with new names in some counties, but most of the names are the remaining loyalists of Kryemadhi and Meta.

Panic in Democratic Party/Anxiety and stress about lists
Panic situation among many politicians and names claiming to be part of the Alliance for Change plus DP coalition lists. Although in the former SHQUP building doesn’t have much movement, panic prevails in many names that claim to be in the winning part of the list that Lulzim Basha will submit tomorrow at midnight to the CEC.
Anxiety and stress have also the allied parties that have signed the coalition, but have not specified the locations. Some of them have a problem with Luli Basha, as he has often lied and betrayed them. In panic are many other names that hope to be part of the lists, but looks very far from the winning places like Eno Bozdo, Fatbardh Kadilli, Fitim Zekthi, Andrea Mano, Roland Bejko, Luan Baci, Endri Hasa etc.
These are names, and some of them have always claimed but could never be winners, but also others who have been part of the lists, but most likely are in the red zone or out of the list. There are many other names, but we are not mentioning them. You will understand who they are after their explosion when they learn that Luli Basha left again with her finger in her mouth./CNA.al

DP’s candidates for deputies/ Irfan Hysenbelliu’s list comes out
Today, the daily newspaper “Panorama” has published a list of Democratic Party candidates for the April 25 parliamentary elections. While is expected to be handed over to the CEC on Monday, Irfan Hysenbelliu has hurried to secure everything.
After publishing his personal list and the preferences he has, after solving the problems with the SMI and placing his candidates where he wanted, he has now started to do the same with the DP. In the list below you will see a bunch of names, mainly products of Henri Çili of the European University of Tirana, who stand out at the top of the lists.
The names of the people who have already been made public and confirmed by Lulzim Basha himself, and those preferred by Irfan Hysenbelliu, are from the former officials that Basha had in the Municipality of Tirana, people who work for Hysenbelliu or his businesses, and other Lulzim Basha’s servile.
We are not writing the names of the list, but we are publishing the pages of the newspaper. Meanwhile, we ask the readers not to take the whole list too seriously, as only the part made public by Lulzim Basha is credible. And in this case Irfani Hysenbelliu is not to blame either, because it may happen that the list is overturned.
Although so far, as CNA.al has reported several times almost 50 names, so the winning list of most counties is almost confirmed, except a few small changes in any county. Anyway, read the list of Irfan Hysenbelliu’s candidates. Especially it should be read by democrats, as they will see there people of Henri Çili and the employees of Irfan Hysenbelliu.
Some will run for the SMI, some for the Democratic Party, and in the end defeat seems to be guaranteed. However, we shouldn’t take it so seriously. We must believe and appreciate only the list that is already official. Because the truth is that Luli Basha doesn’t believe him, but neither does Irfan Hysenbelliu./CNA.al
