Political squabbling from top leaders

TIRANA, March 25 – Parliamentary elections are set for June 28, which means the electoral campaign has yet to formally start in the country.
But that is not the case for the leaders of the country’s two main political parties _ Prime Minister Sali Berisha of the governing Democratic Party and Tirana Mayor Edi Rama of the main opposition Socialist party.
They do not miss any chance, daily or more than once a day, to show how the other has failed to fulfill the voters’ hopes, has failed to do its homework properly.
Rama said that Berisha was a threat to holding free and fair elections, mentioning the past and also last year’s blast in Gerdec as examples to prove that. Rama said that the government was failing to issue the new identity cards to the people, epically those who do not have passports and who are endangered of being excluded from voting.
Rama said that Berisha is leaving Albanians poorer than four years ago when he came to power.
Same words but the other way were mentioned by Berisha at a news conference. He clearly said that voting for the leftist Socialists would mean going backwards.
Berisha mentioned the fact that it was his government which signed the SAA with the European Union that also took the country to a NATO membership (expected next week).
It will not be easy for a common Albanian to make up his mind and decide who is right and who is wrong, who is lying and who is telling the truth and who gives hope for the next four years.
