"The Diaspora voted for Rama" / Greek newspaper on the May 11
Edi Rama in Greece

Finally, the Diaspora voted for Edi Rama is the title of the article that the Greek newspaper "TA NEA" dedicates to the victory of the socialists, considering it a triumph in most of the minority "bastions", in the villages of Dropulli, Saranda, Finiqi, the mountainous areas of Himara, while it has brought mixed results in Saranda.

According to the newspaper, after counting more than 45% of the votes of 245,000 Albanian citizens registered in foreign countries, where only 194,000 exercised their right to vote, the results show a victory for the Socialist Party with over 65%, which translates into the fact that only one in three voters in the diaspora (including Albanians in Greece) was convinced by Sali Berisha's electoral campaign, while two-thirds chose to give another chance to Edi Rama, who in the campaign focused his messages on strengthening the national pride of Albanians wherever they are and his promise of EU membership.

Based on a first reading of the results, it can be said - the newspaper emphasizes - that the Albanians of Greece did not vote influenced by Fredi Beleri's accusatory rhetoric against the "Rama regime", as he calls it, but based on individual and family issues that they encounter in their daily lives.

According to analysts, the "pocket" of the diaspora voter has prevailed, as well as the narrative of "a European perspective with better days", which was the backbone of Edi Rama's campaign, more than the issues of the rule of law, transparency, justice and accountability, on which those who supported Sali Berisha focused.

The right-wing MEP himself commented on the election results in the diaspora areas, predicting that "worse days are coming for the Hellenism of Albania, based on the 12-year mandate of the Albanian Prime Minister so far."

The newspaper "Kathimerini" writes that despite the result ensuring internal stability in the country, questions are raised about the functioning of the democratic system as it is expected to create an opposition vacuum and further strengthen Rama's innate arrogance, as well as the authoritarianism of his power system.

The Greek minority emerges from this confrontation hurt, the article emphasizes, and perhaps the time has come for, after this painful result at the ballot box, to finally open a cold and honest discussion about where the blame lies and why the Greek community in Albania is getting worse and worse.

However, leaving behind the clashes over the Himara issue, Athens and Tirana - according to sources - are working quietly to warm up the climate and resolve open issues, with the first step expected to be the visit to Athens on June 3 of the Albanian Foreign Minister, Igli Hasani - concludes Kathimerini.
