Koha Jonë

23 February 1995

The King, Baleta and Legaliteti

Legaliteti and PDD draw their “revolvers” Durollari: I don’t understand Baleta’s malice Kalakulla: Durollari is illegitimate The reckonings that began in Johannesburg are continuing there. But how Durollari and Baleta will settle these scores is, once again, their own affair. What matters is that the fate of the Albanian right should not depend on the winds blowing from Africa. Because these days, when left-wing winds threaten to turn into a storm, only right-wing winds can do something to counter them. It matters little whether they come from PD, PR or PDD. And the King, Baleta and Legaliteti matter even less. What matters is only the character, seriousness and future of the Right. page 3 Leka Zogu, with his wife Suzana, Abdi Baleta and Guri Durollari in South Africa

Fatos Nano answers the newspaper “Koha Jonë” from Tepelena Prison

“...we arrive at Bënçë prison. A small prison, where the cold wind never stops blowing, even though the sunny day reminds you of a spring day—if you were in Tirana... We have to wait about two hours beyond the iron gate. Although the prison director has our authorization in his hands, he will not let us meet with the imprisoned socialist leader. His fierce appearance and haughty gaze seemed to say to us: ‘Go away, get out of here’... We did not understand the persistence of the director of Bënçë prison in cancelling the meeting, and we nearly lost our patience. Worse still, the chief director would not even give us a reason for refusing?!... ‘I know the rules here!’ the director shouted, with a fierce look... While our patience beyond the iron gate had reached ‘breaking point’, the policeman opened the large gate at the prison entrance. We entered the prison grounds under the ‘escort’ of three other policemen, who stayed very close to us. They searched us thoroughly, and we went into the small visiting room. Fatos Nano was sitting opposite us, ready to answer our questions... This is how the interview began that deputy editor-in-chief Martin Leka conducted exclusively for “Koha Jonë” with socialist leader Fatos Nano at Tepelena Prison. Nano gives his views and political vision of the current situation in Albania, under conditions of strict isolation that have lasted for around 19 months. But what exactly does Nano say? You will find out on Sunday, 26 February 1995.
