President of the Republic of Albania, Bamir Topi defined the intensified violence during this electoral campaign as dangerous.

According to Topi, in an unprecedented way, during these elections the clashes are being manifested between supporters and not only between candidates. For this reason, he called for self-restrain.

“If violence as an isolated episode remains part of a person’s ignorance, I wish there were no political support, because this would be very dangerous for democracy. I wish we did not have a confrontation between supporters, but between candidates,” said Topi.

In a meeting with representatives of the youth parliament, the President defined the absence of public debate from the candidates as a misfortune.

“There should be several debates, but unfortunately, there were no debates during this campaign,” said President Bamir Topi.

President Topi expressed his doubts on the preparations of the municipal counselors and on their knowledge on the existing legislation. The representatives of the youth parliament denounced the use of minors in the electoral campaign, and accused politics of not taking into consideration their interests.
