Luciano is buried, Zani is absent

The strongman of Vlora did not keep his word to accompany his right-hand man to his final resting place From Republika’s correspondent in Nuga, ELMI GJ.

A “state without a state,” or inside the state?

Within the Socialist Party, harsh accusations are being exchanged regarding the formation of the new government. The postponement of the deadline set in the constitutional amendments, as well as the failure to decree Mr. Gjinushi as minister, has become the reason for the PDS chairman to be labeled by their opponents. These kinds of “prophets” are highlighted by the newspaper “Republika”, especially in yesterday’s editorial and in the article “Did the shaman uncover the secrets of governing ALBANIA?” where the second socialist governments under the president are discussed. Or Spiro Pëllumbi called it “the theater of insult,” and the local [unclear] with the government gang (?), while some others, refusing to accept a bitter reality for them, engage in the lowest forms of labeling, turning into disgusting analysts. Why? Everyone can imagine why, since the foul smell of failed governance continues to drift. Since they have nothing to find in front of a normal opponent, they feel the need to speculate and dig here and there for baseless accusations. Why? Because change is a new conviction, a different administration, and above all, a clear ideology. Alongside the administration, the new media, for the first time under a truly democratic government, as it is called in the West, stands free. In this camp and in other political camps, free media is a clear concept. Because, as the whole Albanian political class is becoming convinced, with a passion for the institution of the passport for many of its citizens, democrats and not only politicians are, in word and culture, more European than Nano’s government.

The Albanian mafia challenges the Russian, Japanese, and Italian ones

The Albanian mafia has influence in the world. Its success is open in European mafia circles. This came after the hurried reforms and the establishment of the pluralist state. Their weighty[?] index[?]. Their honest ones[?]. Their independent ones[?]. This turned Albania into the ideal place for the trap of destabilization, favoritism, and the penetration of criminal elements. The independence gained because of the lack of punitive force, the favoritism toward cartels, has brought with it the growth of trafficking and organized crime in the country. P. 12
