By Teodor Keko My hopes become the wealth of the nation when signs come to me at once from all sides of the homeland that socialist power is ending. My hopes become the wealth of the nation when signs come to me at once from all sides of the homeland that socialist power is ending, and that this inglorious and unmajestic end has been fed by corruption, criminality, banditry and incompetence. Once Albanians looked upward, trying to see whether their new hope was shining faintly. Now it is where it has always been, in the superficial mesh of the media. The lower and more desolate the collapse, the more talk is heard, supposedly to identify the homeland with the government, and the opposition and the rulers. I do not understand what the devil they have been thinking about for the last half of this century. And when it comes to the free vote, and to the opposition of economic freedom, these people, apparently, have forgotten that human beings, not being shepherds obedient like animals, won it, and did not buy it, through sacrifices and the lives of innocent people. I had just raised my head a little to look at the “wise” gentlemen. Albania before a completely weakened Albania. Indeed, but in an empirical sense. There is now also a deep hatred of greed in Albanian space, and a hopeless sorrow. They naturally understand that the challenges must be faced honestly. I do not deny, from the national experience, that communism has not yet ended and leaves this middle and present time. Somewhat like Albanian-national history and somewhat like lessons from the devil. My first Albanian friend told me fifteen years ago that democracy had created difficulties not only because the government was engulfed in scandals, but also because it had fallen into the bad habit of always being on the field. Could corruption, criminality and incompetence move forward? I have sometimes managed to get past the advance of the past, but this modern end has been stained by contempt. From the foreigner, from the country, from the propaganda of truth itself, from the offices, from the clubs and sticks, from the government, from the confusion, even from the money and those who live by it. To think that you have a government standing in a kind of gloomy time, and that it has no conflict at all with honesty and opposition, but that in itself speaks volumes. In this time and in this country, in every city, perhaps only those who want to leave have become statesmen. Compared with this phenomenon, all the oppositions lost by the republic seem less important. In the name of national peace and human respect, an incapable government can no longer ask to rule. P. 2
