"We deal with the opposition", Lubonja: The main actor that has

Analyst Fatos Lubonja commented on the opposition's situation after the May 11 elections.

Invited to News 24, Lubonja said that the main factor that alters elections in Albania is the ruling party, while the main debate should not be the change of the opposition.

According to his metaphor, the opposition is dead and should not be concerned more with its mistakes than with the fact that there are no fair elections in Albania.

Regarding the opposition's efforts in Brussels, as a fact-finding mission to Albania from the EPP is expected, Lubonja adds that we still live in vassalage, expecting the Sublime Porte to dismiss the vassal.

" First, I say that it is their right to demand their right. Second, I think that when an electoral process is delegitimized here, we do not have clarity, I mentioned the case of Austria where the elections were canceled on two occasions, a polling center that closed before the deadline and something similar. Two procedural violations. I also see what these people are saying as part of a much larger drama of delegitimization of the vote. This talk seems to me as if the murdered person is there, they have stabbed him in the back, without end, and the expertise deals not with the one who killed him and fled, but with some mistakes that this murdered person made.

These are signs, symptoms of a psychology that even after 30 years, we have not been able to build credible elections. While they are side symptoms, the main actor that has alienated the elections in Albania, the ruling party. We deal with the opposition according to Rama's recent teaching, that this people must change the opposition. These elections are like this. Like a car race, two lanes, the opposition and the government, this opposition lane where I put everyone is full of potholes, bombs, this other lane is a highway. The car comes out first. We say it's not the road that's to blame, but the car. How do we fix the car? Not how do we fix the road. The road needs to be fixed, so that we can have honest elections ," said Lubonja.
