Former chairman A. Bendo: "Minister Frashëri convicted for gambling" Interview with the former chairman of the Tirana Court, Mr. Agim Bendo Statement from the Ministry of Justice The Ministry will continue to monitor the courts Agim Bendo Hektor Frashëri The moment of conflict—the silence in Mr. Bendo’s report is clear regarding the accusations and statements of the prosecutor’s office. The other side is the statement from the Ministry of Justice. Yesterday, the chairman of the Tirana Court submitted his resignation. The explanation that public reasons make this resignation justified is not known; the real reasons are not known. Mr. Bendo himself states that he resigned without having been presented to the media by the government. For his part, Bendo says that he has judged the user of the use and condemns justice. He speaks about all the accusations and denounces Mr. Frashëri, whom he says is convicted for gambling. Another serious element are the ties with foreign services. Bendo mentions them, declaring that they have been manipulated by certain people. Meanwhile, in the statement from the Ministry of Justice, it is declared that all this noise is intentional in order to cover up the illegal activity of the head of the Court. It goes on to say that he has also committed criminal offenses such as failure to notify the judicial authorities. The Ministry will come and ask, will you take, will give us work.

Euro-socialists should not resemble the old socialists The correspondent of the newspaper "Koha Jonë", N. Lesi regarding a statement published yesterday in "ZP" Euro-socialists should not resemble the old socialists "Comrade" he has been condemned to German morality, ("ZP") and has apparently abandoned the publishing style as a refrain. Why? (because he has given up the soft language, as usual) made the socialist diary (a declaration in four columns) One example: "this appears here even for free and democratic" gave way to a deputy as democratic as he is, gave way to a deputy from the PD. And who asks him? ... It is about our fellow villager Josefin et [?]. On the second page of the daily of the PS, "ZP", I saw it, this time filled with irony, satire and slander (under the shadow of the morality and rotten style of the nomenklatura officials), which echoed a declaration also published yesterday in the newspaper "Koha Jonë", in which the eurodeputies of the group of socialist and social-democratic parties condemned the attacks on the free press in Albania. The declaration of the group of eurodeputies condemning this statement has nothing at all to do with what "ZP" trumpets, with parties and little parties, with German morality and slander. It has to do with press freedom in Albania, with the government's behavior toward the independent press, and with the political climate that is being created in the country.
