The old vice, they call it Angelin, “The hidden game” is repeated Old rivals reconcile over power-sharing; Pollo and Majko bring back the old accusations of the parties Old rivals reconcile over power-sharing Pollo and Majko bring out each other’s old party accusations COMPROMISE Rrezar Xhaxhiu Democrats and socialists are reaching an understanding on the splitting of the government and the departure of Pandeli Majko. The replacement yesterday with Pjerin Vllashi as state secretary in the Ministry of Local Government shows that the PD and the majority are moving closer in their positions. The climax is reached with the dismissal of the prefect and his replacement by another Socialist from SP, Altin Mimoza. It is clear that the majority is taking the opposition’s demands into account. It is also clear that other socialists in the government will be replaced. PD deputy chairman Genc Pollo stated yesterday that “If these are the beginnings of the majority’s backtracking, we do not rule out agreements for other posts.” Socialist deputy chairman Rexhep Meidani said yesterday that he was convinced that with the latest changes the government has been shaken up and has become more acceptable to the opposition. “At least, take the sign of the government from the end of September,” he said in a recording. According to him, the majority is not willing to take on the whole compromise, and that is why the problems continue. The extreme erosion in the state structures is complicating the political game. Meidani said that the compromise must start with the key posts of the administration. “Starting with the prefects and the heads of institutions,” he said. [EN] Secret PS-PD pact.
