"SP and DP do not respect citizens"/ Krasniqi: They want candidates for Tirana enough to cross the river

Political scientist Afrim Krasniqi analyzed today the situation before the elections for the leadership of the Municipality of Tirana.

Invited to A2CNN, Krasniqi stated that the two main parties, the Socialist Party and the Democratic Party, do not respect service contracts with citizens.

Krasniqi accused the majority and the opposition of wanting candidates just to throw them into the race.

"The SP has nominated the candidates, while the DP is debating and there are people who are debating the candidates because both sides have violated the rules of democracy."

It is supposed that the candidate should be chosen in a different way, not by telling them that you are a candidate or who will be the candidate because I will discuss it with the allies who received 1%. The concern that constitutes the main topic is: How is it possible that the citizens of Tirana voted for a municipality that showed that it did not respect the contract and turned it into an abusive institution? And a large number of officials are facing justice and the system that promoted, protected and legitimized them and presented to us that these are the future of Albania is the same system that we have today.

"The solution that is approaching is not to change the system and mechanism that brought this about, but to find someone to cross the river and gain political credentials. This should be the main concern," Krasniqi said. /CNA
