The cementing of corruption, or the cemented corruption EDITORIAL By Neritan ALIBALI Today, the republicans have been invited to Fatos Nano’s court, at a time when Albanians have gained the first chances of well-being through the new style of governance. To oppose the rules and return to vice, to uphold obedience, to take democracy by the throat as a model of government, would be a politically condemnable and morally low act. To build your conspiracy on theft and massive corruption, to sow distrust and hatred as weapons for power, and moreover to demand that Albanians call this new and civic politics, is not only cynicism, but also a challenge to their memory. At a time when Albanians expect governance and standards, the next scandal appears: the cement case and Muçi’s deal. Beyond any justification, at its core lies an affair that reeks of clientelism, procedural violations and favoritism. The way this process has been managed is the clearest proof that corruption is not merely a deviation, but a declared mechanism of this government. Today corruption has become the norm; a way of governing, a monopoly, a legalized vice and a pillar of public morality. In this sense, the cement scandal is only the tip of the iceberg. Woe to the suffering of this country if Albanians allow it to pass unpunished. Woe to this country if the word and public conscience fall silent. Victory is blowing everywhere, but the victors cannot be the key thieves of corruption. Page 2
