Stop to the political crime
SPA, convinced and determined in the political victory through the peaceful alternative of the free vote on June 29, 1997, condemns any means of violence, any assassination attempts against any politicians or top officials.
SPA is totally involved and is rendering its contribution through the electoral campaign, which is taking place from North to South, by transmitting peaceful messages to its electorate and through the direct contribution of the Primer, Fino, and the other socialist minister in the Government of National Reconciliation.
SPA is doing its utmost to establish peace and order allover Albania and condemns any terroristic act against any Albanians and politicians.
The last incident in Elbasan is an unprecedented act, which should not be repeated again. Such kind of acts aim country's further instability, sabotaging June 29-th elections. Socialist Party confesses, at the same time, that such kind of terroristic acts take place to justify the state of emergency in Albania and help in exercising pressure to the politicians of the progressive opposition, to excuse, at the same time, any terroristic acts.
Socialist Party of Albania, by making use of this occasion, repeats, once again, its confirmed and determined stand of being distanced from these irresponsible terroristic acts, but, at the same time, requests the Interior Ministry structures to take all the necessary measures to put an end, once and forever, to the political crime's game in Albania.
