The murder in Elbasan, which happened a few days before the general elections of 2021, caused numerous reactions and mutual accusations from the political side.
The Democratic Party accused the Socialists of buying votes to win the election, while the majority accused the opposition of raising an armed group to use before and during the election.
The victim Pjerin Xhuvani was previously accused by the Democratic Party of being the organizer of the clash with DP sympathizers on Summer's Day on March 14, 2021.
