People of the opposition are being threatened, Boçi: Rama's face shines illegally on posters and billboards

The candidate of the "Together We Win" coalition for the Municipality of Elbasan, Luciano Boçi, mocked Prime Minister Edi Rama.

"He who laughs last laughs best", this is how Boçi started his commentary on the SP campaign, as he said that "Edi Rama's face shines illegally on large posters and on the billboards of the city of Elbasan".

He also says that people close to the opposition are photographed, phoned and threatened with bribes, where he said that "the opposition has proven with evidence the purchase of votes with cash and all this, including two criminal lawsuits against senior directors of the Elbasan municipality, will go to SPAK.'

Laugh Good Who Laughs Last

Two words about the SP posters asking "does Edi Rama laugh nicely?"

For several days now, Edi Rama's face has been shining illegally on large posters and billboards in the city of Elbasan, together with the slogan of the SP campaign. The state breaking the law arrogantly and in broad daylight is a very bad omen for the upcoming elections.

What is happening is dramatic in relation to the standards of the elections, while people close to the opposition are photographed, called, threatened with money. The threats also affect family members, the work of the brother and sister, the business of the son-in-law and the lives of close cousins. In at least one case, the opposition has proven with evidence the purchase of votes with cash, and all of these, including two criminal lawsuits against senior directors of the Elbasan municipality, will go to SPAK, regardless of everything.

Meanwhile, a majority that violates the law every day has for weeks shifted the public interest from the essential debate "how the city is governed". The SP poster only raises the question "does Edi Rama laugh?".

The opposition's answer remains the proverbial "who laughs best laughs last".

Përpjekja për të krijuar artificialisht tension, ndasi ideologjike dhe distancë mes interesave të qytetarëve që jetojnë derë më derë është moralisht e ulët dhe politikisht e dënueshme. Komunitetet territoriale ndajnë fate të përbashkëta dhe kanë nevojë për zgjidhje që përbashkojnë përpjekjet, jo që i largojnë ato.

Në këtë kuptim, nuk ka politika të majta apo të djathta – aty ku varfëria është shtruar këmbë e kryq. Nuk ka politika të majta apo të djathta për të shpëtuar nënsektorin e ullirit, atë të gjedhëve apo për të fuqizuar prodhimin bujqësor.

Ka kujdes ose mungesë kujdesi. Ka investime publike ose nuk ka.

Ka mbështetje sektoriale ose nuk ka. Çdo spekullim ideologjik është një formë për të shtrembëruar fokusin e publikut dhe raportin e tij me të vërtetën.

Qyteti kërkon dashuri dhe vëmendje.

The cynicism of a smile that stretches from Tirana to Elbasan to break the law and tell the citizens that someone only intends to laugh at their misery deserves our proverbial answer: Who laughs best laughs last...
