With just seven days left until the elections, Prime Minister Edi Rama appeared this Sunday on Review on Euronews Albania to discuss the electoral campaign and the Socialist Party’s plans should they win on May 11.

Rama noted that this marks his 10th electoral campaign, adding, “This is my ninth symphony and a 10 out of 10, since we didn’t win one in 2009.”

When asked what has changed over the course of 10 campaigns, he responded:

“Albania has changed, the public has changed, and of course, the entire campaign process and preparation have evolved significantly. It’s now much simpler and at the same time more sophisticated. You gain more experience and become better at planning both your moves and those of others. I believe it has become more civic-minded. The media has changed too—but for the worse, not for the better. In the sense that it’s much less connected to the broader picture and far more focused on itself. That’s how it seems to me,” Rama said.
