Chief Prosecutor Dragoshi in handcuffs over scandals All the accusations against those in power From the corridors to the 11 demonstrations, this is yesterday’s panorama of the Albanian parliament. This politically charged picture was at the same time a reflection of the political and social situation in the country. The tension of recent developments centered on a series of denunciations, accusations and counter-accusations that filled the chamber and the newspaper columns. At the center of attention was Chief Prosecutor Dragoshi, placed in handcuffs over scandals, in an overheated climate that increased public uncertainty. At the same time, political forces continued to clash over responsibility, while public opinion demanded clarification and transparency. In the chamber, the voices of the deputies rose above one another, with accusations of abuses, abuse of office and manipulation. Some speakers called for a full and independent investigation, while others described the whole situation as part of a political struggle. Names of institutions and leaders were mentioned from the podium, turning the debate into a fierce clash over the legitimacy of the accusations. Despite the day’s noise, the question that remained hanging was whether the “big” denouncements would be accompanied by concrete evidence and criminal responsibility, or whether they would remain part of the usual political rhetoric.

The University is closed again Albanians in Macedonia seek to “calculate” gern? “We will close the answer of the lesson” TIRANË - Yesterday, as expected, they arrived in the capital, but two days later they were unable to continue their action because of a large police force.

The organizers declared that they would continue their public response, while the authorities argued that maintaining public order was necessary. In their statements, the student representatives said they were demanding the right to education in the Albanian language and opposed any administrative or political obstacle to the university. The protesters carried banners and leveled accusations against Macedonian institutions, describing the university’s closure as unjust. The event was followed with interest in Tirana and was widely commented on in the day’s press, while the police remained on alert to prevent an escalation of the situation.

According to the concerns raised, the enterprise is heading toward bankruptcy. Workers and local representatives are demanding immediate solutions, including privatization and clarification of the land status.

Shehu: “A coalition with the socialists” Indirect polemic between PD and PS leaders over the possibility of cooperation PËLLUMBI: We are for dialogue with everyone, but there must first be mutual trust and clarity about political goals. Our force is ready to sit at the table with any subject that respects democratic rules and the interests of the country. Cooperation cannot be built on short-term deals, but on principles. SHEHU: The idea of a coalition with the socialists has been raised as a possibility, but there is still no political decision. We have our reservations and we are asking for guarantees of a fair process, with transparency and respect for the opposition. If there is to be dialogue, it must serve stability and not further confusion. TIRANË - Yesterday’s statements sparked many comments on the Albanian political scene. The debate on dialogue and on the possibility of cooperation between the main forces was interpreted as a signal of a new political phase, but also as a test of the credibility of the main actors.
