Democratic Party (DP) reacted on Sunday over the strange episode registered after the electoral campaign opening meeting. Referring to the fact that some 50 participants in this meeting were subsequently treated by the doctors for eyes swelling and redness DP explained that the problems were not generated by the balloons launched on the air.

�No toxic substances were used by the meeting organizers. The balloons launched on the air were not the origin of these problems due to their distance from the crowd,� informed DP.

Tirana police immediately sealed the area opening an inquiry on the origin of this problem. Preliminary verification blamed a yet unspecified kind of powder that spread in the air during the DP meeting causing this problem among the participants.
