Journalist Bardhok Lala Mr. President From your long career, and if you are a capable doctor. You operated at 6:00 p.m. on 28 May and until today, my body has assimilated 15 kilos of serum. The thought that my dreadful appearance is not a reason to refuse to receive me at the meeting you have today with representatives of the press, among whom I am also included. The wounds still keep me away from those attacks by the SHIK officers, but over them I will make the complaint of the closed face that day my body. And I still believe that you will agree that perhaps I am still physically deserving of being with my colleagues in your office. I believe that your professional, and not only your political, stature will receive me today. I was subjected to severe and barbaric violence. My life was still in danger. However, what happened did not shake me for a moment, so I make this appeal in this letter to you and to all my colleagues who believe in freedom of expression and their freedom? "Do not leave anyone behind, do not be afraid, but write the truth and only the truth". Albanians of democracy? When I learned that my name, after your approval for the meeting, does not appear on the list, I was saddened. But perhaps I believe that your presidential position will lead you so far as not to accept my presence. With respect and hope, Bardhok Lala On page 7

A fierce quarrel breaks out among primary school pupils STORY School “Jeronim De Rada”, adults’ tension spills over to the little ones TIRANË- The fever of the political campaign has taken hold even of the youngest in the country. It took only an innocent shout of "Long live the party" to create confusion and heated arguments among primary school pupils. It really happened in one of the second-grade classes of the school “Jeronim De Rada”, during normal class hours. Yesterday it was the teachers themselves who notified the center and brought this news to the school. 1002 happened? Did it start from one of them by turning from the first part into the noise-makers? one of the pupils replied that it was about "the winner". Only the teacher’s intervention managed to calm the wave of political fighting that had involved the pupils. But [t]he pupils immediately found the system. After the teacher left the class, "the bee" began to stir right away, taking increasingly harsh forms, when the teacher appeared the little ones restrained their "political" nerves. The children’s ignorance seems to be lost in those of the "old" ones created by the adults, precisely for this reason we thought we should write about it; surely someone will find it useful. f.bax.
