Discussion at the meeting of Socialist MPs MP Përpali: “We will return if the PD presents this law in Parliament” “If the law on genocide comes to Parliament, we will return.” The man speaking is Lush Përpali, one of the most active MPs in the Socialist parliamentary group. Just that alone, the arrival in Parliament of the draft law on genocide - whose implementation, at least as published by sources close to government circles, would remove a relatively large number of Socialist leaders from the political scene, including Nano - would bring the Socialist group back into the chamber of the Assembly; otherwise the Democratic MPs would continue to discuss and pass laws only by talking among themselves.

The President explains the visit to the US TIRANA - “I asked President Clinton and the American Government for aid for Albania.” These were the first words President Berisha spoke yesterday at the press conference. His five-day visit to the US, the many meetings with senior officials of the American administration, the economic, political and military promises between the two sides — these were the important and main “stops” where the head of the Albanian state paused and spoke at length. The $46 million in aid that Washington has promised to give Albania, and the promise that Albanian bases will be open to NATO structures, are part of the successful talks held between Berisha and Clinton. Talks confirmed by the Albanian President himself just a few hours after the end of his official visit to the US. On page 5 Berisha yesterday (photo: Ç. Xhengo)

ELBASAN - She refused to marry the boy she had been taken for as a sweetheart, and the angry lover stabbed her with a knife. The killer for love, but it was not exactly like that in the “unfortunate story” in the villages of Elbasan. The boy’s violent feelings drove him to use a knife against the “heart” that did not want to become the object of courtship and marriage. The story of the 15-year-old girl, but what makes it even more curious is the fact that its protagonists are two 14-year-olds. To bring down the fire of the court and the net, and its hero, the 14-year-old Gramoz Panxhi from Gjinari, was sentenced to 5 and a half months in prison. The incident between the two children had happened 5 months earlier. “I was walking along with my friend and Gramoz proposed that I marry him. I refused and he stabbed me with a knife” - the little girl stated in court. For her, marriage is still a very distant word. Meanwhile Panxhi justified his behavior by saying that two girls had teased him because he was a herder, and that to defend himself he had struck one of them. Statements that more than anything else caused hilarity in the courtroom because of their feminine nature. But for the judges, the 14-year-old’s impulse had cost his peer very dearly. To kill for love... has also happened in Albania, in a way... with ki.

Near Peza, a car goes off the road. 47 people injured PEZA - They survived by a miracle. And the “miracle” was precisely the roadside embankment, which prevented a terrible overturning of the bus and avoided the certain death of its 65 passengers. Nevertheless, the passengers were in very serious condition: 47 injured, driver Ruzhdi Duraku, 31, and a 42-year-old passenger, Shkëlqim Caushi, are hospitalized in intensive care.

The little girls are in a coma They were having dinner with their parents ELBASAN - The poison of the mushrooms took over by morning. They had eaten dangerous mushrooms and now the neurosurgery ward... ten-year-old! It had been a family lunch from which everything began. The two little girls, Albana and Ersa Sula, aged 5 and 3, are in the clinic with the family, having eaten fried mushrooms on Sunday evening. Immediately afterward the two sisters worsened so much that they ended up urgently in the pediatric hospital. With great difficulty the doctors learned the cause of the serious condition of the two sisters. Among the many mushrooms there had also been two poisonous ones. Their condition is still serious. The poison has affected every cell, doctors say, who are trying to bring them out of their comatose state. (Me.Ki.)

Once upon a time. Once upon a time there was a little girl with a face white as snow, eyes black as coal, and lips red as cherries... Once upon a time. Once upon a time there was a German countess who wanted to marry a Spanish prince and who was put into a basket... There was once a fairy tale that turned out to be true. And what a fairy tale! Snow White of the Brothers Grimm, the character in one of their most famous tales, becomes a real person, according to studies by a German scientist. In the book “Snow White and the Truths,” German folklorist Eckhard Sander reveals the secrets surrounding the real princess character who lived in the 16th century. According to the German research, the real Snow White was the German countess Margarethe Von Waldeck, who lived in the 16th century. She had many of the traits of the girl known from the fairy tale learned by children: Philippe II, but the Spanish secret police fell in love with the countess. Sander reveals that the dwarf girls were in fact and actually 7 children working in the countess’s coal factory. 72 hours a day. According to this researcher, it was quite strange that she was interrupted because of the heavy work, so she had stopped counting the 7 of them. As for the poisoned threads, they had given the truth earlier than taken from the German folk tale and later adapted by them.
