Bush. How much the socialist plan and the current situation have been mentioned in recent days. They present it to us as a rescue solution, a panacea for healing all the wounds of socialism. It has been able to ensure bread for the people, but the PD puts political interests above those of the people. The blame falls on it. Not only because the PD acted under the diktat of the internationals, but because it dragged the political process out, brought the country to the brink of catastrophe, and dealt the decisive blow to the Albanian economy. What were the causes? What were the ways out? These are the questions everyone asks, and the answer lies in an incomplete implementation of reforms, objective and subjective difficulties, lack of energy, and mismanagement. Dr. Pasko: I do not know what Mr. Bufi has declared, but the program that is being... how true it is that this declaration is... absolutely true that socialism is being called by some the bogeyman of this world, just as it is being presented. The issue is not socialism itself, but the distortions that have been made with it. If there is anywhere a way out of the current crisis, it must be sought in deep democratic reforms and not in a return to the past. (text partly unreadable)[?]

ALEXANDËR FRANGAJ In the world, bread has been solved almost to the end through price liberalization. The biggest problem remains stability and grain reserves.

The years of transition have shown that improvisation brings only insecurity. Who will come after Çaçani and what model will he bring for the economy? No clear answer is given by the official structures. This prolonged silence makes it even harder to understand where the country is headed. (text partly unreadable)[?]

ALFONS ZENELI Then? He gave the country, and everything else, back. He was the man who, in the movement, inspired trust in people. This was due not only to his qualities, but above all to his ability to speak clearly and take responsibility. Democracy is not built with suspicion or exclusion. It requires political courage and respect for one’s opponent. The first experiences of the transition show that those who see democracy as a personal triumph rather than a social contract are making a serious mistake. Behind this lies fear, not courage.

— Is the newspaper “Koha jonë” close to the readers or to a party? — Do you think that by the end of this month an acceptable agreement will be reached between the government and the students? — Can what happened yesterday be considered a demonstration or a spontaneous movement? — Where should young people go after their demands for genuine pluralism and cooperation under new conditions? — Since Albania needs peace and order, is it right to politicize every protest? — Is there a possibility that the discussions will lead to unnecessary clashes? — Are there people who are exploiting this climate for narrow interests?

In the interview of 9-12-1991 given on TVN, it was declared that UPJ sought to sabotage without knowing it. Many people connect this with serious events after the strikes. Certain citizens make accusations and insults, but without proof. Young people and students are not enemies of order, but part of society that seeks dignity. We do not accept political labeling or slander. We ask the relevant authorities to clarify publicly any claim and to stop the language of hatred. EDITORIAL BOARD OF THE NEWSPAPER “KOHA JONË”
