Resignation, a civil but unjustified act M[?] the country was traumatized, deeply shaken, and the traumas continue. This was the most difficult period of experiencing the crisis of the state and politics after the fall of the communist regime. The events of 14 September contained two essential elements: a complete failure of the state leadership in managing the crisis and a fear among the political class to face that crisis responsibly. Fatos Nano’s resignation came in this climate. To have a realistic and objective judgment of this act, first of all one must look at the situation in which the resignation took place and what it meant politically. TIRANA - Was it perhaps an individual escape from responsibility? Was it the end of an era? Was it a maneuver to avoid confronting the crisis? In the broad sense of the word, resignation is a civil act. But in this case that is not enough to call it justified. Nano left at a moment when the state needed stability, authority, and clear political responsibility. On the contrary, his departure was interpreted by many as leaving the burden in the middle of the storm. In part of public opinion, the act of resignation was seen as evading duty at a time of trial. In another part, as an attempt to protect the party from the fallout of the crisis. Nevertheless, the question remains: did this act help calm the situation or did it leave it even more unclear? In these circumstances, resignation may be civil in form, but unjustified in substance. FATOS NANO Continues on page 5

“We have information that 14 September will be repeated” The General Directorate of Prisons, in a circular addressed to all prison directorates and facilities in the country, has ordered their leaders to take immediate measures to strengthen security and monitor the movements of prisoners. According to information that has reached this institution, there is fear that scenes similar to those of 14 September could be repeated, which has pushed the leaders to put the system on alert. The document says that protection plans must be reviewed, prisoners’ contacts with common areas must be restricted, and the service at key points must be reinforced. The Directorate also asks prison commands to report immediately any suspicious movement and to take measures to prevent escape attempts or sudden gatherings. At the same time, sources close to the penitentiary administration say that the concern is directly linked to the political climate of recent weeks and the uncertainty created after the unrest. Similar measures have also been taken in several police stations and other security units. On page 4
