The clashes/What is happening with the DP list in Korça, who are the contenders
Korça region seems to be one of the most difficult in the selection of candidates for MP by Lulzim Basha. It was the same with the appointment of the political leader of this region. He was named almost last in line and was Edmond Spaho, a political figure who until 2013 has been a candidate 3 times in this district.
First, is the PBDNJ phenomenon. Vangjel Dule, the leader of this party and ally with Lulzim Basha has asked to be part of the DP list in this region, due to his clashes with Fredi Bejleri in the region of Vlora. Dule has systematically received 2-3 thousand votes in Korça region. In an arithmetic account, if he were to pass these votes to the opposition, he could help DP to increase his chances of winning 4 to 5 seats, or the sixth as it claimed.
Secondly, it is the LSI phenomenon, Lulzim Basha’s other ally, that in the Korça region seems to be within the DP list. There are still discussions about how to run with the two coalitions. So far it is said that Endrit Braimllari will be inside the DP list and the SMI list in the Korça region will be fictitious.
The third challenge is Andrea Mano, the former head of the DP branch in Korça, who resigned from this post, and who has been running since 2015 constantly losing. Just like Luli Basha who dreams of becoming prime minister, Andrea dreams of becoming an MP.Mano ran in 2005 as an MP and lost. He ran for mayor, and lost. He was also a loser as the leader of the 2009 and 2013 campaigns. However, if it will be part of the list, it will be placed in 3 or 4 safe places.
Another factor is the former mayor of Devoll, Bledjon Nallbati. The latter claims that Lulzim Basha has promised to be in 3 or 4 winning places in the list. We all know how much Basha keeps his promises, but Bledjon still hopes.
Another important factor that claims to be a candidate in the first places of the list is Fatbardh Kadilli. Kadilli claims that Basha owes him a debt as a former secretary of human resources in the Democratic Party. He was left out of the lists in 2017, and again supported Lulzim Basha.
Another name that claims to be part of the winning list again, this time from Pogradec, is Erald Kapri, a relative of the former Democratic mayor of Pogradec, Eduart Kapri. The latter, a former journalist already turned into a historian, who works for the AMA, claims to be part of the winning list in the Korça region.
A name not unknown, but also prominent in politics in recent years, a product released by Lulzim Basha, is also Ervin Salianji. Salianji is the man who together with Andrea Mano led the 2017 campaign, recording the biggest electoral catastrophe of the Democratic Party in Korça, which hadn’t happened even in 1997.
Salianji claims to be at the top of the list and within a safe zone. But this time it will be difficult because of a sentence by the Court of Fact in Tirana for the “Babale” case. The two ladies from Korça, Ledina Aliolli and Sorina Koti, claim also to be part of the PD winning list. There are other names that are rumored, such as Dritan Shano, who claims to be in the top five of the list again.
So it seems that the Korça region will be one of the most difficult for Lulzim Basha, as he will seem to find safe places for the allies and keep almost 10 promises he has given. However, with these names, no matter how you list them from the first to the last, after the announcement of the list in the Korça region, it is predicted that there will be a big clash within the party structures, and therefore the failure in this region seems inevitable./CNA.al

Three fresh lies of Monika Kryemadhi
Monika Kryemadhi has tried several times yesterday to explain to the public why the Socialist Movement for Integration is running in the elections on April 25 with a separate list from that of the Democratic Party, and to show why the coalition will be only after election. As usual, she told the next lies, which every democrat or member of the SMI understands very well.
First, Kryemadhi said that with 2 separated lists she wants more inclusion of the albanians in the elections. In fact, what will happen to the opposition, will be the fact that it will burn more votes. Everyone already knows the reason why Kryemadhi and Basha couldn’t agree on building a joint coalition. The DP didn’t accept more than 12-14 SMI candidates on its lists. This also brought their competition with separate lists. So they are not competing separately for maximizing the vote, but because of not finding a consensus for the allocation of seats.
Secondly, Kryemadhi stated yesterday that together with Basha they won the local elections of 2011. This is also a pure lie. In the elections for the Municipality of Tirana, Basha lost with 11 votes, and then it was Berisha who won. Rama was running for the fourth time and the scheme was clear, and let’s not forget the influence of the communist Hysni Milloshi. The third lie is the harmonization of programs.
In fact, SMI doesn’t have any electoral program. This party makes some formal promises to the public. But the only program of the SMI is the appointment in the administration of some trained thieves in these jobs. These are stories that are already known since 2009, and in case there is a harmonization of corruption, Monika Kryemadhi has no rival./CNA.al

Basha-Kryemadhi agreement/ Revealed the posts will be given to SMI
Lulzim Basha and Monika Kryemadhi signed today their public agreement, with some points which were presented to the Albanians to justify running in the elections with 2 separate coalitions, and to show tomorrow that they were visually united.
And this because another thing is what heard the albanians, and another thing is what Basha and Kryemadhi have signed for the ministerial posts they will share, if their dream of power becomes a reality. But who are the government post that benefits Kryemadhi from the agreement with Lulzim Basha?
Ministry of Interior and the post of Deputy Prime Minister
According to official sources from the Democratic Party, Monika Kryemadhi has been promised by Lulzim Basha the post of Minister of Interior and Deputy Prime Minister. So she will be the number two of the government, and will hold the post of Minister of Interior.
A wish publicly expressed recently by Monika Kryemadhi, and which seems to have been strengthened very often by President Ilir Meta, who has these months has met with elements of organized crime, such as in Durrës, Korça and Vlora, with the bandits and criminals that Meta contacts promising that tomorrow the Ministry of Interior, in case Luli Basha wins, will be in the hands of his wife Monika, and they should be calm.
Ministry of Health
Another ministry is that of Health. Petrit Vasili, the minister sued by the DP in the Prosecutor’s Office during the time when Gazment Bardhi was Minister of Justice, during the co-government with Edi Rama, will take the post of Minister of Health in case of victory. Petrit Vasili is also a doctor by profession, and on the other hand he has occult connections with various agencies and entities that supply hospitals with pharmaceutical products.
Ministry of Environment
A third name, but also a post already agreed between Lulzim Basha and Monika Kryemadhi, is that of the Minister of Environment, which is expected to be given to one of the leader of the SMI, Luan Rama.
Ministry of Education
It is learned that the Ministry of Education will be headed by Edmond Panariti, who earlier during the SP-SMI coalition, headed the Ministry of Agriculture.
Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports
This ministry is expected to undergo changes, given the slogans used by the SMI for youth
or its support. The SMI can appoint Klajda Gjosha or Erisa Xhixho at its head. These are at least 4 ministerial posts that the SMI is expected to take from the next government.
Other important institutions are also discussed, such as the general directorates under the Ministry of Finance or structures in taxes, customs and other institutions and agencies of the Albanian government./CNA.al

The national victory/How was built the Chamo-Greek coalition of Lulzim Basha
Lulzim Basha has registered in the CEC his political coalition for the April 25 parliamentary elections. For the first time it happens that the Greeks of the Union Party for Human Rights (UPHR) and the Chams of the Justice, Integration and Unity Party (JIUP), unite together in a coalition, and Luli Basha, and even more Edi Rama, deserves credit for this development.
Let us look at the fact about the coalition, among those who say they are persecuted by the Greeks, and the persecutors themselves who are now together the other side by side. What politics hasn’t been able to do for more than 75 years, is solved by Lulzim Basha with the help of Edi Rama.
The fact and the details, show us and why was created the Chamo-Greek alliance, under the shadow of Luli Basha and the mandate he will forgive to these parties. In 2005, the then Prime Minister Sali Berisha took UPHR in his government, directing a ministry for 4 years.
In 2009, Vangjel Dule left the government after a visit by Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou to Tirana, who openly supported Edi Rama. So Dule left with the command coming from Athens, and in the election received only 18.000 votes, the historical minimum since its founding.
In the 2009 elections, the UPHR ran alongside Socialist Party, while Berisha joined in the coalition the Party for Justice and Integration (PJI) founded and led by Tahir Muhedini, the Cham community party, which won a parliamentary seat with nearly 15.000 votes, and entered government with the DP.
Then Shpëtim Idrizi creates another Cham party called Party for Justice and Unity (PJU), and the two parties merge into a single one in February 2011 becoming JIUP. In the 2013 elections, PJIU the Chams compete on the DP side and secure almost 45.000 votes. Meanwhile, UPHR in alliance with the SP, falls even more, with only 14.000 votes and again only one mandate.
UPHR became again part of the government, and Dule was elected vice-president of the Assembly. In May 2015, Vangjel Dule left the coalition, precisely because of Shpëtim Idrizi of JIUP, who was also appointed vice-president of the Assembly.
Dule refused to be in the same level with Idrizi, and resigned. From that moment Vangjel Dule joined Lulzim Basha, who forgave him the mandate of deputy in 2017, where UPHR didn’t compete but entered the DP list. In the elections, Idrizi records another historical record, secure 76.000 votes, of which 30.000 in Elbasan, where it runs Aqif Rakipi.
In Tirana, Shpëtim Idrizi secures over 12.000 votes, but for some votes he cannot get the mandate of deputy. The Chams claim the votes were stolen by the Socialists. From that moment, Edi Rama removes the Chams from the government, and Idrizi joins the opposition of Lulzim Basha, but divided.
This is how the Greco-Cham alliance is born under the shadow of the DP, but neither Idrizi nor Dule appear together in a meeting. JIUP MPs pass with the government together with some exponents, while Shpëtim Idrizi and Mesila Doda hold the official party in opposition.
In the elections of April 25, 2021, the historical enemies, run for the first time together under a coalition.
This is also due to the behavior of Rama, who held Dule on his side, then he took Idrizi, then when one left, it was Rama himself who removed the other. Even because of Basha, who is in opposition, and would accept both because he is desperate, and sees these parties as forces that bring votes./CNA.al
