A day before the official opening of the electoral campaign, Edi Rama did not hesitate to make predictions about the final result. The number of deputies he thinks he will have in the next Parliament will be spelled out in black and white again from the heights of Vlora, where four years ago he signed what was called the Kuçi Memorandum.
In 2021, it received 4 deputies less than the predicted 78 mandates, so this time it prefers to stay grounded.
"You will win 77 deputies. We don't know, there could be even more, keep that in mind. I don't know about that, I'll write it down in the notebook over there at that bar where I left the result last time, I'll go back and write down the result of May 11."
Edi Rama called on the socialists on Saturday to "Skënderbej" Square in Tirana to open the campaign, while on Friday there will be meetings in the districts with socialist women and girls.
"Tomorrow we will start the official campaign with a cycle of meetings that will take place at the same time and of course in this cycle of meetings that will take place at the same time, we will be together with our main strength, which is women and girls. Meanwhile, the day after tomorrow at noon at 12 o'clock, from all 12 districts to all 12 stars of Europe in "Skënderbej" Square, we will gather for a political-festive meeting."
After giving the Socialists hope for victory, he warned opposition supporters that they would be disappointed by the result on May 11th.
"Do you see what is happening in the world or not? Do you follow some cliché? Or do you have your mind on the sheriff, "the sheriff will come". The sheriff will come and save you! You have the right to dream, you have the right to imagine that on May 11 you will have the people with you. You will endure for 30 days and then you will see whose door Noci will knock on, whomever he will show up to. It will be painful!"
As the election date approaches, Prime Minister Rama once again brings back Sali Berisha's wife from the USA in his political rhetoric.
"Are you considered non grata?" Yes, yes, you are. You are considered non grata, yes."
We cannot fail to mention the meeting of the European political community that will be held on May 16 in Tirana.
"We have the strongest alliances Albania has ever had. Whether with the West, the East, the European Union, Turkey, the United States, the United Emirates. It's the first time a British prime minister has come down, the first time a French president has come down for an official bilateral visit, he'll come again."
Despite Prime Minister Rama's conviction of victory, A2 CNN learns that the Socialist Party has ordered the Socialists to avoid confrontations with the DP's political opponents in television studios during the electoral campaign. (A2 Televizion)
