Parliamentary Assembly delegation report for May 11: SP used the administration in the campaign, there was pressure on voters
The report of the delegation of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on the parliamentary elections that took place on May 11 has been released. The report will be presented to the European Parliament on Monday.
According to the report's findings, the parliamentary elections were held in a polarized political environment.
The report highlights the Socialist Party's exploitation of the administration during the electoral campaign, as well as the pressure on voters.
“The ruling party benefited from the extensive use of administrative resources during the campaign, creating an unfair advantage for incumbents. There were also numerous allegations of pressure on voters, especially public employees. Furthermore, the electoral legislation and its narrow interpretation by the election administration did not prevent abusive practices. The concentration of media ownership undermined the plurality of news sources, together with self-censorship among journalists and the two largest parties dominating news coverage, limited the opportunity for voters to make an informed choice ,” the report states.
The delegation's report also refers to the inclusion of women in political life, where it appreciates their commitment, but points out the challenges they have to face.
"Although women have become more politically engaged in recent years, they continue to face long-standing systemic obstacles to progress, including weak internal party democracy and limited access to funding. While women hold half of ministerial positions, they are underrepresented in parliament, occupying 50 out of 140 seats (36%) ," the report said.
The report emphasizes that there are recommendations that have not yet been implemented by Albania.
“Some of the changes follow previous recommendations, while other recommendations remain unimplemented, particularly those related to a more balanced composition of lower-level election commissions and the voting rights of persons with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities ,” the report continues.
Main findings of the pre-election mission:
• Gjatë misionit tonë parazgjedhor në Tiranë më 3-4 prill 2025, i cili synonte të vlerësonte fushatën zgjedhore dhe klimën politike përpara zgjedhjeve parlamentare, ne u takuam me një gamë të gjerë palësh të interesuara zgjedhore: Kryetarin e Kuvendit, udhëheqësit dhe përfaqësuesit e grupeve kryesore parlamentare dhe partive kryesore politike jashtëparlamentare, anëtarët e delegacionit shqiptar në APKE, Kryetarin dhe Zëvendëskryetarin e Misionit të Vëzhgimit të Zgjedhjeve të OSBE/ODIHR, Komisionerin Shtetëror të Zgjedhjeve dhe anëtarët e KQZ-së, përfaqësues të komunitetit diplomatik, shoqërisë civile dhe medias, përfaqësues të Autoritetit të Medias Audiovizuale, Agjencisë së Medias dhe Informacionit dhe Strukturës Speciale të Byrosë Kombëtare të Hetimit për Luftimin e Korrupsionit dhe Krimit të Organizuar (SPAK).
• Ne identifikuam disa sfida që duhen adresuar për të siguruar procese demokratike dhe zgjedhje të drejta dhe konkurruese.
• Ndërsa pranojmë rëndësinë e luftës kundër korrupsionit, ne theksuam nevojën për të shmangur perceptimin e favorizimit të një partie politike mbi një tjetër, pasi kjo mund të minojë besimin e publikut në luftën kundër korrupsionit dhe në vetë procesin zgjedhor.
• Ne u informuam për kulturën e rrënjosur thellë të konkurrencës politike "fituesi i merr të gjitha" në Shqipëri, ku objektivi nuk është të inkurajohet bashkëpunimi i ardhshëm, por më tepër të minimizohet ndikimi i kundërshtarëve, duke rezultuar në mundësi të kufizuara për dialog konstruktiv.
• Ne vumë re se Shqipëria do të përdorë votimin jashtë vendit për herë të parë. Ndërsa ky është një hap pozitiv drejt zgjedhjeve më gjithëpërfshirëse, kemi dëgjuar shqetësime se kjo mund t'u sjellë dobi partive më të mëdha dhe më të konsoliduara dhe potencialisht të ndikojë në rezultatin e zgjedhjeve. 58. Gjithashtu kemi marrë akuza se vijat ndarëse midis partive politike dhe shtetit janë të paqarta, dhe informacione të besueshme se partia në pushtet po ushtron presion mbi nëpunësit civilë që varen nga vendet e punës në shtet, nganjëherë drejtpërdrejt dhe nganjëherë më në mënyrë më delikate.
• Gjithashtu dëgjuam se blerja e votave, e cila ishte tashmë e pranishme në zgjedhjet e mëparshme, mbetet endemike në zonat rurale dhe më pak të zhvilluara, duke përfshirë edhe metodat indirekte si stimujt në para dhe kreditë me interes 0%. U kemi bërë thirrje të gjithë aktorëve politikë të përmbahen nga praktika të tilla dhe që të gjitha akuzat të hetohen siç duhet.
• Gjithashtu vumë re se udhëheqësit e partive kanë kontroll të fortë mbi listat e partive, gjë që kufizon demokracinë e brendshme.
• Në deklaratën tonë, theksuam se mungesa e një diskursi kuptimplotë politik tregon se zgjedhjet kanë më shumë të bëjnë me personalitete sesa me platforma konkrete politike. Të rinjtë nuk janë të interesuar për zgjedhjet sepse ndihen të papërfaqësuar dhe shohin pak ndryshim midis politikave të partive politike ekzistuese.
• We became aware of the concentration of media ownership in the hands of private groups with links to political parties. We also realized that online platforms are not regulated, which creates opportunities for manipulation. The recent temporary ban of TikTok highlights concerns about the instrumentalization of social media and the flow of information in the run-up to elections.
• We welcomed the fact that several interlocutors mentioned that the current legislation providing for a mandatory gender quota ensures sufficient representation of women on electoral lists.
• Our interlocutors expressed confidence in the CEC’s ability to work transparently and in cooperation with civil society. However, we regretted that there would be no large-scale civil society observation of polling stations on election day, thus reducing the transparency of the electoral process.
• While we acknowledged that some of these issues may be difficult to address before election day, we urged the authorities and all stakeholders in the elections to address those that can still be resolved.
