The DP candidate in Elbasan denounces the State Police: It is covering up the

The candidate for deputy from the Democratic Party in the Elbasan Region, Blendi Himçi, has denounced the State Police for allegedly covering up the government's electoral crime in the village of Pekisht. 

In a statement to the media, Himçi requested the intervention of international experts to investigate the seized election materials, which he considers to be true and compatible with official documents.

Full statement: 

I would like to denounce today, with concern and indignation, the shameful attempt of the State Police to hide one of the most serious cases of electoral crime in this campaign, in the village of Pekisht.
As candidates and representatives of the Democratic Party in the Elbasan region, we consider untrue and malicious any allusion or claim by the Police that the electoral materials discovered in the premises of the village headman of Pekisht are falsified. The materials comply with the official format of the ballots and voting lists distributed by the Central Election Commission.
Secondly, to guarantee full transparency, we demand that the expertise on the seized materials be carried out by independent international experts, not by structures that are completely politicized and captured by the government.
Thirdly, we consider the State Police statement as a well-organized farce that aims to diminish the importance of the event and cover up the evidence of the electoral crime that occurred in Pekisht. This behavior confirms that the State Police is not neutral, and is being used to protect the interests of the government.
The Pekisht event is clear evidence of attempts to buy votes and deform the will of citizens. We will follow every legal and institutional step to bring the truth to light and to protect the electoral process.
Those who cook up and maintain this electoral farce will be held accountable.
Our duty is to make this farce public and push justice and the international factor to speak and act.
Without free elections there is no solution!
