Personal history
After the fall of the communist dictatorship in 1991, he was nominated for the post of Prime Minister in 1991 in the transitional government whose purpose was the organisation of the first democratic elections in the country. A few months later, after many popular protests and strikes, he resigned. In 1991 he was elected leader of the newly created Socialist Party, which is the legal successor to the Albanian Labor Party (formerly the Communist Party of Albania). In March 1992 the Democratic Party of Albania won the election. Prisoned in 1993 and after that he was found guilty of theft. During 1994, Ponzi schemes were installed in Albania. Their collapse in 1997 caused the beginning of an armed popular revolt and president Sali Berisha was forced to resign. [1] [2] Nano was discharged and released. That same year, following general elections won by the Socialist Party of Albania, Nano was appointed Prime Minister by President Dr. Rexhep Meidani, only to resign again in 1998 after a coup d'état attempted by radical followers of the Democratic Party of Albania. This coup was attempted during the funeral of an assassinated opposition leader, Azem Hajdari. The Socialist Party continued to lead the country and won the elections of June 2001.
Nano became Prime Minister for the third time on July 25, 2002, appointed by President Alfred Moisiu. On 3 July 2005, the Socialist Party lost the elections and its majority in parliament. The Democratic Party gained a majority and Sali Berisha was nominated Prime Minister of the new government. On 1 September 2005, Nano resigned his leadership of the Socialist Party.
Nano stood as a presidential candidate in a round of voting in parliament on 8 July 2007, part of the election to replace Moisiu. Most members of the opposition coalition led by the Socialist Party did not support him, however, and chose to boycott the election. Nano received only three votes, while Bamir Topi of the Democratic Party won 75 votes. Topi did not receive enough votes to be elected, however.[3][4] The second round of voting for electing the president was held on July 10. The parliament still failed to elect a president, with Nano getting five votes and Topi receiving 74. Continued failure to elect a president would have resulted in an early parliamentary election,[5] but on July 20, Topi was elected.[6]
In late August, it appeared likely Nano would found a new political party after falling out with the Socialist Party;[7] he announced the foundation of the Movement for Solidarity on 19 September 2007.[8]
