OPINION TITIN SHEHU It is not a question, but an affirmation. The announcement of the new government, naming it the Majority of the Future and not the Government of National Reconciliation, is a clear indication of its orientation. The name of the majority is another correct reflection of its first choice. If the new government did not place the resolution of the crisis as a special priority, that means it chose to continue along the current course. In this framework, the first political positions of the leaders of this majority, the statements about continuing the political struggle against the opposition, etc., must also be seen. All of this shows that the new government was formed not to solve the crisis, but to win the next political battle. It is not difficult to understand from which side this government was meant to be born, what motivates it and what makes it continue further. If the new government had as its aim national reconciliation, it would have taken different forms, would have brought other people and would have given other signals. On the contrary, we are dealing with a formula that deepens political divisions and pushes the country toward further confrontation. Continues on page 2
