A question to the Minister of Agriculture: Do you come from monism, or has monism come from you?
Monism as a system is disappearing. It was what for a long time kept the individual suppressed, to the point of sacrificing even his life and devaluing his human right to think, judge and act according to his own convictions.
On the eve of the country’s first pluralist elections, one of the most important and still very sensitive ministries, the Ministry of Agriculture, openly came out in support of the PPSH. We are not pausing here to judge an individual’s political freedom, but rather the fact of how far the pressure of the old nomenklatura still goes.
On the part of the daily press, almost nothing was said. It seemed as though this issue had been quietly brushed aside. Yet it remains important, because it concerns an entire spirit of administration that continues.
The publications by the employees of that ministry were very clear, where support for a certain party was openly expressed, something that under normal circumstances could not happen in a state institution. Moreover, it was noticed that this was done not only through statements, but also through organized forms of influence.
Under these circumstances, the question arises: is this political zeal a direct legacy of monism, or are we dealing with people who keep it alive even today? If the minister has no connection to this spirit, let him say so publicly. If he does, then our question remains: do you come from monism, or has monism come from you?
This is not simply a polemical formulation. It is a civic concern about the way a key sector of the economy is being run and about the way the relationship between the state and the party is still understood.
Today, as the country tries to build new institutions, it cannot be accepted that the state apparatus be used as an extension of a political force. That would be not only a political mistake, but also an infringement on people’s trust in change.
Our newspaper raises this question publicly and expects an equally public answer.
DO NOT INSULT NAPOLEON ROSHI
2.
Mr. Napoleon! I read the headline of an article addressed to some small traders: “Do not insult Napoleon,” and with surprise I saw your name used in such a way as to create the impression of a man whose dignity had been offended.
I am obliged to address you publicly, because this matter has taken on no small dimensions. It is in no way proper for a person’s name to be used as a banner to cover up other problems.
If you yourself have felt insulted, that is one thing; but if others speak in your name without the right to do so, then we are dealing with misuse. The public must know clearly who is speaking and why.
The earlier article published in this newspaper has caused reactions. Some have interpreted it as a defense of private interests, others as a moral appeal. In truth, the essence of the matter is respect for the person and not abusing his name.
I do not know Mr. Napoleon Roshi personally, but that does not prevent me from saying that no one has the right to trade on another person’s dignity. Even when there is dissatisfaction, even when there is conflict, the language must remain civil.
I say it openly: people’s names cannot be used as banners. And even less to create public uproar.
If there are complaints, let them be presented with facts; if there is injustice, let it be stated clearly. But not with slander, not with noise, and not by placing a person’s name in the middle.
That is why I say: do not insult Napoleon Roshi.
“I believe I am the first Albanian female footballer...”
Especially for the newspaper "Koha Jonë", Lezha
At the request that we preserve the anonymity of the place, we are publishing it with her initials. She was born on 19 February 1975 in Kallmet, in the district of Lezha. She completed eight years of schooling and works in the agricultural cooperative. She leads an ordinary village life, but her passion for football is unusual.
She has been playing football for years with the boys from the neighborhood and, as she herself says, has taken part in various matches in the village and in the area. “When I was little, I was more attracted to the ball game than to girls’ games. They often scolded me, but I never gave up,” she says.
According to her account, her ability to play football has long been noticed by fellow villagers. Some have taken it as a joke, others with admiration. But she insists that this is a sincere desire and not a passing whim.
In the absence of proper conditions, she has had no opportunity to train regularly or to test herself in any organized team. Nevertheless, she continues to play whenever she gets the chance. “If I had the opportunity, I would also play in a real team,” she says.
Given her age and the place where she lives, her case is a special one. Women’s football is still almost unknown in our country, so her claim that she may be the first Albanian female footballer does not sound impossible.
In the photo she appears with the ball at her feet. Her name is not published at the request of her own family.
With wishes and respect for the newspaper,
