The Rama-Berisha alliance advances with the closing of the lists, it's
They promised to open the lists, they closed them even more. In fact, for those who follow politics, this is not a surprise. The peace and understanding of those who spend half the day cursing and rioting, protesting with checkers and bulletproof vests, and who the other half surprisingly find understanding about the electoral code and the vote of immigrants is not simply a lack of coherence. It's just shopping.

Let's take turns. From the agreement reached, there are no changes in the electoral code. There are closed lists and "competition" between 1 or two shortlisted candidates who will compete. The same as happened in the last elections.

No vote for immigrants. There is a possibility that Albanians living abroad, those who have an address, can vote by mail. In a process that excludes thousands of Albanians who left in recent years who do not have a fixed address or the ability to pay for postage. In other words, only elite immigrants or those who will be assisted by patronage will vote.

Beyond the electoral models, majoritarian, proportional or mixed, the biggest problem of the election process in Albania is the buying and counting of votes. Instead of the PD raising its voice and demanding electronic voting and counting, today who was more and who was less in a hurry to flatter the Gjiknuri "reform" because even someone who does not know the multiplication table well understands that it gives Edi the advantage at the table Rama.

Politically, it is clear that Berisha's PD and Rama's government have agreed to leave the lists of deputies in the hands of the mayors. But not only that. The bargain started with the Bardhi-Manja criminal amnesty, continued with Altin Duman's ugly scene in the parliamentary session and culminated today with the electoral reform is only the starting point of an alliance of seniors.

Without each other, Rama and Berisha would not be able to approve these changes and the amnesty in the parliament. Visible or not, the interests that unite them are stronger than those that divide them. If Rama needs to ensure the victory of even more than 80 deputies in the next elections, Berisha needs no more than 40 of them to keep the worn-out PD, his loyalists and the cause of the Road of Hope alive.

I would not be surprised if in September, the alliance was extended to the commission led by Fatmir Xhafaj. The signs are clear. "Peace" to get what they need from the 2025 elections has only one obstacle. It is called SPAK. And as the only "enemy" before the two political lobbies, the road is already paved to reach the final objective. That probably won't be long. And neither the fragments of the opposition nor those "united in diversity" will be able to prevent it. They already have a big problem: how will the doctor put them on the list.
