Page "Republican Party of Albania" Paragraph 5

Though the party was originally founded as a conservative, Republican and generally anti-Communist and anti-Monarchist party which wanted reforms to speed up so democracy could be put in place more quickly, and founded as a alternative to the Democratic Party and the Socialist Party, it has usually been aligned with the centre-right Democratic Party due to the fact that it was bitterly opposed to the Socialists, who they regarded as communists hiding under a more moderate centre-left guise.
