Analyst Fatos Lubonja, invited to the show "Minuta e perëta", commented on the electoral reform.

Lubonja said that Rama has always worked with pure electoral calculations and that he has done everything in favor of the Socialist Party.

According to him, with a criminal gang in power like Rama's SP today, there are no free elections. He further showed how the opposition can unite.

Fatos Lubonja: What Rama has done is that he has also eliminated rotation.

There were three political parties, which created a rotation. But today we have a single gang and the absolute power that Rama seeks to establish, corrupts in an absolute way. Since he abolished coalitions, it was clear that he was creating an electoral system to prevent rotation. The Administration also aims for something like this. I think that with Rama, elections cannot be held under these conditions. Edi Rama has the majority due to the deformation of the electoral system.

Much more radical changes are needed, than open or closed lists. With Rama, free elections cannot be held and this is the essence of the matter. With a criminal gang in power, elections cannot be held. We also know them by name, those Bajrats, who work for the SP. If there are no radical changes, it is difficult to have free elections. The opposition has been under pressure from the internationals. It seems that, step by step, they are moving towards a police state. Even the war between parts of the opposition itself is helping Rama towards installing his dictatorship.

The opposition needs to find a common figure to rival Edi Rama. I would prefer a process where all parties reach a compromise, come together for the need for a candidate, then there could be a list of candidates that are discussed and voted on, and perhaps the candidate emerges with a vote, not "let's agree on this."
