Berisha mocks the Queen of England: The gift was 90 dollars Pages 2, 3, 12, 13 The President - nothing new to be leaving with The President has nothing new to say to the protesters, among the roughly 600,000 opposition supporters at the Opera and the Pyramid. Sali Berisha arrived around 12:30 at the President’s residence; the supporters who had come out to take part in the protest in Skanderbeg Square had also come out to take part in organizing the protest and the police. While he was deciding to leave the Presidency, at the same hour Albanians arrived from all four corners of Albania were making noise in the center of the capital. The people who had stopped near those who had left, just as had happened in Tetika or politics, were heard chanting “Freedom or death”. Seen from the overpass from the main boulevard to “Partizani”, starting from the former Block neighborhood? that of the foreign television cameras, Berisha was being held in the center with a calm he had not even had before with the former Sigurimi of the Shkëlqeu i Kërkoftë and with the Secret Spirit in the original Kërkoftë[?]. Assisted by the block guard[?], the police, those who, with the main television stations on screen, did not make it possible to leave the format on his way back to the Prime Minister’s Office, with the security forces in the streets, no one in the crowd spoke to him. The last words he addressed to passers-by, neighborhood leaders, seemed better understood as words left unsaid. We are free, but is it Albanian? home? as he was shi[fro]zon[?]te K[?]in, opposition villages in the hands of the stage “pyramid”, were asking a quiet question and laughing. If they wanted to escort the president to hear everything attentively? In the laughter, Albanians were twisted in deceptions. In the speech to the opposition party that was deciding the fall of the government and economic reform, he accused several politicians even more, because the government would respond with the P[?]L[?] card as happened with the people. They have expressed[?] new reservations against the road, such as the Council of Europe and the European Union. Nili and the president used that they were clear that they are not an exception in government. At the same time and he prefaces with specialness with the protesters helped by the government with the eye hole? it makes possible and overcomes it. Whereas with the local state, he is clear that he has had for eternity? the hope of the third decision? with President Pr[?]egjithësisë that has shaken him from the prejudices he made more in order to see the protests[?] and used the prejudiced ones that pass from the regis? movement. It seems that, although late, he has been accustomed by the forgers? of departure. S.
