My friends,
The upcoming elections in Tirana are just the first step on the long road we are embarking on.
Whenever the vote is scheduled, we will participate with our vision and will for change.
Until then, I invite you to work every day to ignite in the minds and hearts of citizens the belief in honest politics, in the politics of work, the belief that power originates from the citizens and should work only for the citizens.
The most important party, the most powerful party in the world is the citizens' party.
Gold!
Constitutional Court decision
The Constitutional Court has decided today to suspend President Bajram Begaj's decree announcing the partial local elections for November 9, following the request submitted by the former mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj.
The judges' meeting was accompanied by fierce debates, as some members argued that the suspension of the decree is a rare interference in the president's powers, while others demanded that it be guaranteed "not to conduct a process that may prove invalid."
The decision was made by majority vote and will remain in force until the final decision is made on Veliaj's request for an assessment of the legality of his dismissal as mayor.
