Today in Parliament: General Amnesty to be discussed Convicts awaiting the Amnesty Photo: N. Ekonomopouios Behind the idea of amnesty is not the natural sheep, but the artificial sheep, which can hardly wait to become a wolf. That the time has come for us all to benefit from the wolf’s taming is also borne out by the PS, the PSD and other parties, which are quite right to support the amnesty. But the point is that the wolf must not be left in charge of distributing the milk. The amnesty is certainly a salvation for many convicts. But many of them, who are not ordinary criminals, have already been poisoned by the government. The milk that the PD is seeking to put on the market is not the cleansing they need. It is a cleansing for the PD itself. Page 3 Convicts awaiting the Amnesty. Photo: N. Ekonomopouios

RE-EDUCATION INSTITUTION

Will changes be made at the only Albanian television station? According to inside sources at RTVSH, on Tuesday at around 14:00, President of the Republic Sali Berisha paid a visit to the premises of Radio Television of Albania. Yesterday afternoon, the presidential Mercedes was received by the editor-in-chief of “Republika,” Ylli Rakipi. Berisha was then accompanied by the director general, Buxçapa, through the institution’s premises. The reasons for the head of state’s visit to this institution remain unclear; it is increasingly being regarded as one of the main factors behind Berisha’s failure in the 6 November campaign.
