Socialists' counter-offer for Sali Berisha

24 hours after Taulant Balla's ultimatum to the Democrats regarding the electoral law, the socialist co-chair of Electoral Reform Damian Gjiknuri softened his tone and invited the Democrats to return to dialogue.

"We are very late and it is difficult to reach a compromise, but we are ready anyway. There are chances for compromise, but let's see what package they will bring and how feasible they will be," Damian Gjiknuri, co-chair of Electoral Reform, SP, told Top Channel.

With local elections just around the corner, the Socialists are rushing to intervene in the electoral code to reflect the changes imposed by the new territorial map. In it, the spring battle is being called into question.

Interventions are necessary because they call into question the legitimacy of the elections. One thing that is urgent has to do with the distribution of municipal councilor mandates.

At a time when electoral reform has remained in limbo, Sali Berisha has called for a change in the electoral system. The Socialists' counter-offer is a constitutional reform that also reduces the number of members of Parliament.

"We stand by the option for constitutional changes on this issue. You will give and take compromise."

"You will sit down and give something, because no one can give up victory on the table because of an electoral tactic," said Gjiknuri.

November 30 is the deadline for reaching a compromise on electoral reform as the mandate of the special commission expires.
