Political parties, two dates for one holiday "Albania has not yet been liberated" declares Neritan Ceka “Albania has not yet been liberated” declares Neritan Ceka Bouquets of flowers and fireworks in the rain, yesterday on 28 November, for the holiday of independence and liberation, although this holiday has been awaited at the headquarters of the political parties at different times and on different dates. But even talk of a change in the war did not stop former partisans from laying flowers at the Martyrs' Cemetery, according to their preferences, while tributes continue today as well. Nothing has changed from last year, when the Albanian Parliament designated 28 November not only as the holiday of independence, but also of national liberation. One year later, the Albanian political parties continue to celebrate Liberation Day separately. “Everywhere countries are liberated through war; only we liberate ourselves through parliamentary votes,” added Prof. Skënder Gjinushi, chairman of the PSD. This morning, together with other members of the party he has led for several years, he will pay homage for 29 November, which, according to him, is the true day of Albania’s liberation. “Historians have not presented any document to prove otherwise,” he said. page 2

Thousands of copies sold illegally The life of the “Cunning Albanian” in the focus of the English researcher Hoxha was guided by strict nationalism. It turns out that he was one of the two contemporary statesmen whom de Gaulle admired most... He was a man of culture and learning... Just like Stalin, he also had the quality of brutality... but he was not brutal... A perfect actor. He forged this ability as an actor with an unshakeable determination to prove that he was always right, but he was also stubborn enough to go on and on until he wore out his opponents... He could have painted quite well while holding in one hand the dictatorship of the proletariat and in the other the lamp of education” premor. page 4

The PD’s “benevolence” with the Czech law on political cleansing The Czech law does not exclude any citizen from the right to be elected, regardless of their previous role The Czech law rightly bars former security service agents and their collaborators, as well as party secretaries, from appointment to certain posts in the state administration, in state-owned enterprises, state media, the army, the national intelligence service, etc., but without taking away their right to stand for election. Meanwhile, under our draft prepared by Meksi’s cabinet, the constitutional right to stand for election is automatically removed. page 2

A SHIK employee arrested for the murder of the 28-year-old TIRANE. - Adrian Lleshi, the 28-year-old from Tirana, was killed by a bullet fired by a secret police officer. Yesterday evening, after a few minutes of conversation with the victim, at the door of the President’s house, a SHIK employee fired, causing the immediate death of the 28-year-old Lleshi. The news is made public by several employees of Police Commissariat No. 3 of the Tirana Police. It is learned that the perpetrator of the murder has been detained by the police, but the sources did not agree to provide his name or the district where he worked. It is not yet known whether the perpetrator was on duty guarding the President’s house, but from the dialogue between them it has been understood that the cause of the argument and the tragic end was which of them was stronger, and unable to make way for one another, they drew pistols. However, the real reason may be different, but as long as the official authorities do not provide information, one must guess based on the testimony of eyewitnesses to the event. Around 7 p.m. the victim was taken to the military hospital where more than 12 police officers guarded the entrance to the emergency ward from possible protests by around 50 young people, friends of the deceased.
