The Socialist International has expressed its condolences to the Socialist Party of Albania and its leader, Edi Rama, following the passing of the former leader of the Socialist Party and former Prime Minister of the country, Fatos Nano.
In a reaction on the social network X this Saturday, the international organization appreciates Nano's contribution during the transition period in Albania, recalling that under his leadership the Socialist Party became a member of the Socialist International.
"Fatos Nano played an important role during Albania's transition period. Under his leadership, the Socialist Party of Albania joined the Socialist International. Throughout his life, he courageously engaged in the defense of democratic values and, in the years 1994–1997, was imprisoned for his political beliefs. He led the country in a difficult period, trying to build a constitutional and democratic state, and made a significant contribution to the reforms and modernization of the Socialist Party. Our most sincere condolences go to his family and relatives ," the reaction says.
