Commentary / Why? of Llozë continues to forcibly keep 11 girls at work • The political party and the authorities have taken it as they see fit with the girls. On the evening of the 23rd [of April?] of this year, during the time of examinations and on the eve of the May Day and Party Conference festivities in Lezhë, 4 communists from the footwear enterprise “Dashuria” of the United [United?], Llozës [Llozaj?], Taqit, Halilit [Halli?], Hysës [Hysa?], [Pajë?] and [Koli?], enthusiastically launched the class struggle against 23 girls, among whom there were also two party members. Since these girls [were?] sincere, they did not [swallow?] easily the [decision?] to remove them from work in a hasty and arbitrary manner from work, I think they took the right path to defend their rights, since they could not find a solution here. For this matter, it was taken to the Chairman of the Executive Committee and the chairman of the People’s Council and to other instances. They also went to the employment offices for clarification. This problem has been the subject of discussion in the enterprise and has been used politically by some people. It cannot be understood why this attitude continues when the girls are only asking for the right to work. The conflict has become public and has provoked reactions in the city. Many workers and family members have expressed dissatisfaction with the way the girls are being treated. Editorial staff

The cheerful amnesty is sending many people toward cells. For this [happened?] [almost?] [a?] [decade?] [in?] [a row?], the usual promises were made. In the city there have been cases where the police act more by force. People complain that instead of social issues being solved, they end up in offices and in prison. In some cases they are taken from the street or from homes for checks that last a long time. Citizens feel fear and insecurity. This article denounces abuses and the silence of the institutions.

Finally it was said that the wheat had arrived, but people are waiting in line and complaining about shortages. Distribution is irregular and the quantity is small. In some shops there is none at all, in others it is given out by list. The people wait for hours, while those responsible remain silent. Are we crying over wheat or without it?

The hotel hospital, important services such as job placement as well as the polyclinic, fire-fighting and other services.

It has been spoken of during the time of monism about hostile groups in the economy, in the army, in the state, about coup plotters and traitors. But the people still do not know what prices and privileges these leaders had. Why are all the decisions and decorations given to them not published? Why is the public not informed about expenditures and wealth? Within the framework of transparency, this would be a moral and political duty.

FOREIGN HUMOR or (ALBANIAN MISFORTUNES?) Look how the government laughs in front of the people!
