A significant number of voters in the Municipality of Maliq, both from the left and the right, for some money, promises, or short-term interests, chose in the 2025 parliamentary elections to vote for PS and PD candidates from the city of Korçë, leaving aside the candidates who represented Maliq itself, regardless of their political beliefs. For the first time in 35 years of pluralism, Maliq was le

While Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama speaks about “Besa” and an administration that will change, those who have worked closely with him over the years have a different view. One of them is former head of the Socialist Party branch in Korçë, Muharrem Meko, who, in a social media post, claims that Rama’s administration is the worst in the country’s 114 years of statehood, even surpassing that of former Prime Minister Sali Berisha.
