At the center of the debates was the reconstruction of the government cabinet and the removal of worn-out figures after the latest crisis. The name of Kastriot Islami was mentioned as a replacement for Bashkim Fino, while other names were called into question. TIRANA- In yesterday’s meeting of the leadership of the Socialist Party, the new ministers were chosen and the “old” ones were removed. Out went Namo Ramo, Luan Hajdaraga, Arta Dade, Agim Shehu, Sabit Brokaj, Paskal Milo[?], Musa Ulqini[?], Ylli Bufi[?].

"The regime of misfires" through my eyes

AGOLLI-NANO polemic / The Prime Minister attacks the old Albanian socialist writer: “Look at yourself through my eyes” Relations are not shaped only by the logic of force, but also, and above all, by the force of logic. To use force not to stifle the exercise of freedom of thought, but to patiently and wisely build a free society, one that will once and for all put an end to the storm of hatred and thirst for revenge; a calm social environment where everyone may work, pray, love and hate according to their own conscience and not according to the orders of the party-state or of power. If we were to give right to these rebellious elements, who are now demanding the silencing of Albanian intellectuals as a political punishment, we would create the most dangerous precedent for a country that claims to be democratic. Instead of calming society, we would poison it even more. Relations with the state and with freedom cannot be built on the logic of threat. There can be no social reconciliation without accepting the plurality of ideas, without tolerating dissent, without accepting that criticism is not betrayal. A society in which artists, writers and intellectuals are subject to fear cannot be a free society. Fatos Nano asks Dritëro Agolli to look at himself through Nano’s eyes; but a prime minister should learn to see citizens through the eyes of their freedoms, not through the eyes of power. M[?]
