Vote recount, Lubonja: Electoral manipulation took place before May 11

Analyst Fatos Lubonja commented on the vote recount process after the May 11 elections, describing it as "much ado about nothing."

Invited to News 24, the analyst said that the electoral manipulation took place before the election date, under the conditions of a party-state that controls all power.

 Lubonja : The opening of the ballot boxes seems to me like much ado about nothing. This is because the manipulation of the elections was done before May 11. We have a kind of party-state that controls everything. A party that wins more votes in every election has the explanation that the control of power by the SP has increased.

It is not a success of governance, because there have been many scandals in these years, and this idiotic people are not going to punish the government. There are two narratives. One narrative is that we have problems, but we have made steps forward. The other narrative is that it is not about moving forward, but about stabilizing a regime that controls the votes more and more and more anxiously. I believe that the second is the more credible narrative.

The elections continue to be contested and Albania has not been able to build an uncontestable electoral system and is a country that does not pass the test of democracy. A regime has been installed here that does not relinquish power through an electoral process. Even the opposition has said that there are no free elections and then says that it will enter the elections and win, this is also contradictory.
