Barometer \u2013 Euronews Albania has conducted its second electoral survey, following the January 2025 measurement.<\/p>\n

The same methodology and sample size were used, with 1,600 citizens interviewed face-to-face across the country. The data collection period for this second electoral measurement was February 15-25, 2025.<\/p>\n

This survey also included questions related to SPAK, following the arrest of the Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj.<\/p>\n

When asked about trust in SPAK and their assessment of its work, citizens showed a significant increase in confidence and approval, reaching the highest recorded levels since Barometer measurements began.<\/p>\n

Regarding trust in SPAK, 52.1% of citizens expressed confidence in the institution, making SPAK the most trusted institution in Albania for the first time. This marks a shift from the U.S. Embassy, which had been the most trusted institution for over 30 months.<\/p>\n

A similar trend is observed when citizens were asked to evaluate SPAK\u2019s performance, with 70.7% rating its work positively.<\/p>\n

Compared to January 2025, SPAK has seen a 10-point increase in both trust and approval ratings.<\/p>\n

The previous Barometer survey, conducted between January 15-30, 2025, was carried out before the arrest of Tirana Mayor Erion Veliaj.<\/p>\n

It is evident that developments in the past two weeks have led to a significant rise in trust and approval of SPAK\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\r\n
