The Social Democratic Party (Albanian: Partia Socialdemokrate e Shqipërisë) was an Albanian political organization that existed from 1943 to 1946. Created on the initiative of the writer and Social democratic activist Musine Kokalari. She had originally been allied with the Communists up until 1946, when she began to openly speak out from a general democratic position, and against the established dictatorship of the Communist Party and Enver Hoxha. It was banned by the Sigurimi during a repressive campaign. In Post-communist Albania it has been considered as an organization that had fought for democracy.[1]
