VALEN, in a press release, emphasizes that AKI will close its political chapter after the local elections. VALEN says that "the cries of Ahmeti, Taravar and Sela are the last screams of a coalition in agony."

"One seeks "political agreement" and tries to copy Ali Ahmeti, whom one should rightly ask what happened to the letters he sent around the world and where is Paul Williams' expertise? The other wanders around, in panic, fearing that he is being betrayed by both of them. According to all polls, the VLEN candidates are clearly ahead, while the DUI "referendum", the latest project of a party in panic, is coming back to haunt them. Albanians have seen this movie for 23 years in a row - patriotism in words, come on in deeds."


"For twenty years they could not even bring drinking water to Albanian municipalities, in some of them, they even left the water poisoned with arsenic. This is the "world" they built, polluted, greedy and rotten from within. The municipalities they govern are evidence of chaos, poverty and the lack of any vision. Therefore, Albanians today turn their backs on this "fraudulent referendum" trumpeted by Ahmeti, Taravari and Sela," say from VELEN.
