										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TIRANA, August 29 /ATA/ Citizens and civil society activists gathered today for their 91st protest. What began as a rally against the Zvërnec investment project has now expanded to include broader political demands.</p>
<p>After gathering in “Skanderbeg” square, the protesters marched along the “Martyrs of the Nation” boulevard towards the Prime Minister’s Office, where they delivered their speeches.</p>
<p>The protesters are demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama, the removal of what they call the “old political caste”, as well as the repeal of the changes to the law on protected areas and the amendment of the electoral law.</p>
<p>The organizers have stated that the protest will continue in the coming days and that there will be no withdrawal until their demands are met.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TIRANA, August 28 /ATA/ The civic protest in Tirana entered its 90th consecutive day today, with demonstrators reiterating their demands for Prime Minister Edi Rama&#8217;s resignation and opposing the Zvërnec investment project.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TIRANA, February 12/ATA/ Chairman of the Democratic Party Sali Berisha reiterated today his stance towards the justice institutions, emphasizing that, “I have denounced and denounce SPAK as a criminal organization.”</p>
<p>Berisha added that, “This said, I do not mean every employee in that institution, but I mean those prosecutors who close crime files; those prosecutors who use official documents to fine criminals and murderers so that to facilitate and manipulate their files.”</p>
<p>“Yes, I have evidence and I could never make such statements without irrefutable evidence and facts. These is also the interest of the citizens who pay them to fight crime and not to collect fines from criminals and to enrich themselves,” Berisha said.</p>
<p>Regarding the Justice Reform, Berisha said further on, that when the Democratic Party comes to power, “It will engage the most serious institution in the world, the most knowledgeable in lawmaking, the most capable, which is the Venice Commission.”</p>
<p>&#8220;We have started some work, just for information, with very prominent European experts, to do some kind of observation of this and find a way because the people want a solution, the state wants a solution. Albania cannot remain without a civil process, without a criminal process. The OECD also said it, no one comes to Albania to invest. And, of course, with a political prosecution that does not abide by the law, but implements orders of the minister&#8221;, said Berisha. /j.p/p.s./</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TIRANA, July 24/ATA/ The State Commissioner for Elections Ilirjan Celibashi appreciated today necessary to change the way of organization and operation of the second and third level election commissions.</p>
<p>&#8220;Perhaps, it is not the time or even the occasion, but I must draw the attention now, especially after the elections on July 23, 2023 in Rrogozhina, to the necessity of changing the way of organization and operation of the election commissions of the second and third levels&#8221;, he wrote in a reaction to the media.</p>
<p>Celibashi emphasized that the administration of elections at these levels by persons designated only by political parties does not ensure the integrity of the process or its technical good administration.</p>
<p>&#8220;I hope that the political parties will realistically and without prejudice evaluate this consideration of the Central Election Commission&#8221;, concluded he. /m.m/r.e/p.s./</p>
