When were independent political parties allowed in Albania?

In December 1990, Ramiz Alia endorsed the creation of independent political parties in Albania, effectively ending the official monopoly of power held by the communists. This move was a response to growing political agitation from various segments of society, including intellectuals, the working class, and youth, following the collapse of communism elsewhere in eastern Europe.12

The Democratic Party subsequently emerged as the country's first opposition party. By March 1992, the anticommunist opposition secured a decisive electoral victory, marking a significant transition in the nation's political landscape.312
