Holding posters saying “Rama Go” or “Break your neck!”, several thousand protesters rejoiced when Democratic Party leader Lulzim Basha said the June 30 local elections, which they had boycotted, would be canceled by presidential decree. The rally took place days after a German paper published leaked tapes showing how an accused drug trafficker in Durres told Socialist officials how he planned to coerce opposition backers to vote for them and help a friend become a lawmaker.
Rama said the tapes were leaked by prosecutors who had failed to end their investigation and taken the tapes to their party, the Democrats, to be used politically and blackmail the government.
