Deputy Prime Minister Albana Koçiu attended the presentation of the book “Spain in Democracy 1975–2000”, written by Charles Powell, in Tirana today.

On this occasion, Koçiu took part in a discussion about Spain’s democratic transition, together with the author, Charles Powell, and the Albanian translator, Kita Sallabanda.

During the discussion, Koçiu stressed that dialogue, consensus and the ability to overcome divisions in the name of the common interest are essential for a stable democracy.

According to her, this is one of the most valuable lessons from Spain’s experience. She also said that it remains highly relevant to Albania’s path towards European integration.

Koçiu also shared photos from her meeting with Powell and Sallabanda, who translated the book into Albanian.

She noted that the book’s message is particularly relevant today, especially at a time when dialogue and cooperation remain important for strengthening democratic institutions and building consensus.
