He emphasized that \u201cwhoever has aimed to destabilize the elections in Albania, has committed an additional crime\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a great pain and this time I really didn\u2019t believe it could happen again,\u201d said Haxhiu.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Bushati stated that the incident \u201cis only the beginning of something that will become something much bigger\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause when power decides to rob the elections by force, such incidents are bound to happen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to analyst Bushati \u201cthe one that is political responsible for this murder is only one man, Edi Rama\u201d linking the incident with the clash between party supporters during the Summer Day celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the events of Summer Day, today\u2019s victim was amongst those, exercising violence in the name of Edi Rama and Taulant Balla on the supporters of DP. If we had a professional police force and a professional legal state, then today he wouldn\u2019t have been in the grave, but in jail. He is in the grave and not in jail because Edi Rama wanted him to be a kamikaze, so that he could continue to rob these elections freely. If we continue to incite these people that have a criminal history to steal the elections in the name of power, what happened today will only be the beginning of a larger bloodshed and catastrophe,\u201d said Bushati.<\/p>\n<p>According to Baton Haxhiu, \u201cmoments like this should never result in murder unless there are political impulses and the fact that political impulses usually come from the losing side is a problem,\u201d he said, while adding that the author of the murder in Elbasan, was \u201cused\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>According to Haxhiu, in Albania all political parties have created parallel systems in order to protect the vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no political party that hasn\u2019t created a parallel system and Elbasan is a pure example, where bandits have always had repeated clashes because they have always been recruited,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Bushati concluded his argument by saying that \u201can electoral massacre is in the making\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During \u2018Shock\u2019 on Euronews Albania, analysts Andi Bushati and Baton Haxhiu discussed about the violent events happening earlier today in Elbasan, where one person was killed.
