The former Speaker of the Parliament, Jozefina Topalli, in a press conference where the Democratic Party presented the abuses in the local elections for Lezhë/Kurbin municipalities, where she said that the face of the latter is the violence of the Rraja tribe and the use of force by gangs to intimidate the result.
Topalli said that one cannot talk about free elections when the PD's seal and logo as a major political force were stolen, while the opposition was used and threatened in favor of the ruling party.
" The face of the local elections, they are elections that we started with tritol and ended with the imprisonment of the candidate for the unification for victory. Or using even prisoners to distort the election results, talking about free and fair elections is completely unrealistic. These are in the history of three decades, the most unequal elections for 1,000 facts and events that have occurred, from the use of the state in favor of the ruling party.
What happened in the Lezha region should be remembered the scenes of the Rraja tribe in Krujë, scenes that shocked public opinion. Politically supported and big-money gangs have influenced circles, especially where the probability of winning is very high. The Rraja tribe also exists in the Lezhë district, their brutal behavior is in the municipalities of Rrogozhina, Shkodra, but talking about elections that meet the criteria of Copenhagen is out of reality.
Can you vote freely if you are abused, threatened as we have seen the footage from the Rraja family, those footage explain more facts than what will be explained now. These are the most unequal elections in 3 decades, where a political force's logo and seal are stolen, so that the opposition is not allowed to enter the elections, it has never happened that we did not have the name of the leader of the coalition.
Maybe it is among the next cases to be discussed, but the power of corruption has never been stronger than this time, or the administration was used and threatened to be used in favor of the ruling party", she said . .
