Page 3 A life in campaign The dusk has been drowned in oil by the remaining puddles on the slippery road. Thaci’s dawn continues to open together with the November sun. In the village of Kukla, the managers of an Italian company called “Vesuvio” are at work and singing. They are convinced that they have now proclaimed the “livelihood with wages,” the road, and that they are advancing the campaign with money and promises. They have taken over the populist stage. All this is covered in mud. After setting up the cypress tents, the structures are rising hour by hour and they are arranging a public fountain in the flowerbed of the pass; the Italian scrap man is ready to set off. No one seems to have noticed. This is about a group of cypresses, who have come to Albania to reconstruct the new campaign road. Beside the vehicle, a white sign with the UNICEF logo is hanging like a clear sign of the mission. No one explains why this temporary political road is being built so quickly, but rumors say it is an action linked to the elections. The agenda of this action gives more value to publicity than to the real needs of the residents. In any case, the scenes on the ground tell another story: mud, noise, speeches, children, and cameras. Thaci’s dawn continues to open together with the November sun. In the village of Kukla, the managers of an Italian company called “Vesuvio” are at work and singing.

The Mayor of Tirana, “more Catholic than the Pope” The Prime Minister shoved the mayor of Tirana into silence, who, by keeping quiet with cunning, is now trying to sing the opposition refrain in a loud voice. What happened a week ago? The information says that the Tirana police spokesman, wonder here with the two local languages?, declared that a suicide with a cutting instrument had occurred in the capital. That was enough for the fortunate Tërhori to come out angry in the press and accuse the government. In his fortunate vocal? and in the capital yesterday at the popular meeting he managed to play the role of the most zealous secretary of the district. Albanian History, writes in SHP[A] that the government is using prisoners like political internees and is leading the country toward catastrophe.
