It is the current political power in Albania. Until today, the words property and ownership have been widely discussed in public opinion. The words privatization, land amnesty, sale, and the demolition of cemeteries have been presented to us as a revolution of Albanian society in transition. Free and equal, according to the slogan of democracy. Everyone decides for themselves what to call and how to treat their ancestors’ land and house. The dispossessed classes, with their sacrificed properties, had the right to demand and reclaim the houses built on their land, and they were worn down by bureaucratic delays until everything became tangled and ended up in the worst possible state. Even over the misery of local and central parliaments, we were kept running back and forth, on our feet, with parliament and voting. One law and one government decision did not match another. It even came to the point where old tenants were thrown out of their homes in the hope that the former owners would return to live there. Renovations were carried out inside the premises, making the houses more comfortable, while the yards were looked after by whoever could. How did the families use them? Out of necessity and because urgent shelter was needed. When that period ended, many of the reinstated owners took the opportunity to receive state reconstruction money, or they sold the property and worked themselves to exhaustion for nothing. No one stopped it. Neither the former power, nor the current one. The abuses that have been made public have not ceased or calmed down. One asks: does this government enforce its own laws? The answer is only one: no. If, for lands expropriated and distributed according to the law, after the broad spectacle of selective implementation, bargaining, bribes and favors have once again begun, then we are dealing with new injustices. Therefore, the laws passed must be respected and not interpreted day after day according to whoever’s interests happen to come first. English translation: A government that does not implement its own laws. It is today's political power in Albania. Up to now, in broad public opinion, the word property and ownership has been repeatedly invoked. The words privatization, land grants, sales, and demolition of graves have been served to us as a revolution of Albanian society in transition. Free and equal according to the slogan of democracy. Everyone decides for themselves what to call and how to treat the land and house of their ancestors. The expropriated classes, with their sacrificed properties, had the right to seek and regain the houses built on their land, but they were exhausted by bureaucratic delays and became hopelessly entangled. Even in the misery of local and central parliament, we were worn out on our feet with parliament and voting. One law and one government decision did not match another. It came to the point that old tenants were thrown out of their homes in the hope that the old owners would return to live there. Restorations were carried out inside the premises, making homes more comfortable, while the yards were maintained. How did families use them? Out of necessity and urgent shelter. When that period ended, many reinstated owners took the opportunity to receive rebuilding money from the state, or sold things and wasted their efforts. No one stopped it. Neither the previous power, nor the current one. The abuses that have been made public have neither stopped nor calmed. One asks: does this government implement its own laws? The answer is only one: no. If for expropriated lands distributed according to law, after broad selective implementation, bargaining, bribery and favoritism have started again, then we are dealing with new injustices. Therefore the laws issued must be respected and not interpreted day after day according to the interest of the moment. Traduzione italiana: Un potere che non applica le proprie leggi. È il potere politico di oggi in Albania. Fino ad oggi, nell'opinione pubblica generale, si è molto parlato della parola proprietà e delle proprietà. Le parole privatizzazione, concessione della terra, vendita e distruzione di tombe ci sono state presentate come una rivoluzione della società albanese in transizione. Liberi e uguali secondo lo slogan della democrazia. Ognuno decide da sé come chiamare e come trattare la terra e la casa degli antenati. Le classi espropriate, con le loro proprietà sacrificate, avevano il diritto di chiedere e riottenere le case costruite sulla loro terra, ma sono state stremate da ritardi burocratici e ridotte al peggio. Anche per la miseria del parlamento locale e centrale ci siamo consumati in piedi con parlamento e voto. Una legge e una decisione del governo non coincidevano con l'altra. Si è arrivati al punto che i vecchi inquilini furono cacciati dalle loro case nella speranza che i vecchi proprietari tornassero ad abitarvi. Furono fatti restauri negli ambienti interni, rendendo le case più comode, mentre i cortili furono mantenuti. Come li usarono le famiglie? Per necessità e per un alloggio urgente. Quando quel periodo finì, molti proprietari reintegrati colsero l'occasione per ricevere dallo Stato il denaro della ricostruzione, oppure vendettero e sprecarono i loro sforzi. Nessuno lo fermò. Né il potere di ieri, né quello di oggi. Gli abusi resi pubblici non si sono fermati né calmati. Ci si chiede: questo potere applica le proprie leggi? La risposta è una sola: no. Se per le terre espropriate e distribuite secondo la legge, dopo una grande applicazione selettiva, è ricominciato il gioco di accordi, tangenti e favori, allora abbiamo a che fare con nuove ingiustizie. Perciò occorre che le leggi emanate siano rispettate e non interpretate giorno dopo giorno secondo l'interesse del momento.

History is not the first teacher in myths about the people, the pure and the empty; we see every day on television and across the country something that one can ask about and know, but every time it is and tonight it is Albanian. Historically, leadership and much more. It is not a righteous fighter, a friend with our own feet. (continues on page 6)
