Electoral reform heading towards failure the deadline is july 1 but the parties have not reached a

July 1 is the deadline that the socialists and democrats set for themselves to submit the draft law on changing the electoral code to the Parliament. However, as the days pass, all the deadlines the parties set for themselves have burned out, and the result is zero.”It’s been about a month since we last met because we have a debate between the PD and PS, due to PS not accepting the opposition’s demands,” said Dhurata Çupi.The right-wing blames their left-wing colleagues, who have closed the door on any wishes of the opposition. The most important issue is the constitutional change that paves the way for the return of pre-election coalitions with a combined list.”PS does not accept the June 5 agreement, which was agreed upon and accepted by the internationals. It does not allow composed coalitions where each party has its votes and the votes of Albanians are counted equally,” Çupi stated.The Diaspora vote seems an impossible mission even though the CEC offered a compromise formula by taking responsibility for their online registration.”Meanwhile, PS seeks through filters to hinder free voting because through free voting they do not control their votes,” said Çupi.However, in the conditions where dialogue has remained suspended, should the democrats condition their participation in the committees formed only with the majority votes with the electoral reform?”PD has priorities, I wouldn’t say conditions, and without electoral reform, without standards, and free and fair elections, there can be no other priority for PD,” said Çupi.The democratic deputy is cautious and does not speak of failure but warns of a political decision by the PD parliamentary group in the absence of consensus between the parties.

Museum of Education: Activities for the European Heritage Day

As always, in celebration of the European Heritage Days, the Museum of Education organized activities centered around school students.

This year, based on the theme “Paths, Networks, and Connections,” we planned the game “Treasure Hunt” in collaboration with the fourth-grade class from “Sotir Gurra” school.

The game involved finding a cultural heritage object hidden in the museum, retrieved from the archives. To locate it, students had to complete several steps while learning about the history of the Mësonjëtorja and key figures who fought for the continuity of education. After discovering the object, there was a discussion on the protection, conservation, and sustainable transmission of heritage to future generations.
