Chief Prosecutor Rakipi: “Implicated persons, official work leads them to the top” Page 3

The opposition has no alternative BY GAVROSH LEVONJA Despite the fact that there is talk that since Monday, over in Pogradec and in Tirana [?,] the PD chairman, Berisha and Pjetr Arbnori had found the Pyramid money or some other profitable plan of the opposition, these would not do much and for a long time; in short the PD would not do much if it were to come out in public with new alternative programs and ideas. The lack of alternative ideas on the right, their alternative leaflets and [de?] — their work has been characterized by a lack of alternative ideas in their political work and is being felt by the public with concern — does not mean that there is much noise from the positions and the rest of the opposition, including the far right. Thus, even when it has criticized various parts of the government’s inverted organism or some other government, the opposition has never managed to articulate clear and consistent alternatives for solving the problems. The inability to argue the moves made on the political stage; inability, impossibility, ignorance; the inability to argue the content of the changes or the other established position of the opposition, will not do much in this direction with detailed [and?] clear alternative programs. If two weeks ago on the occasion of the PD congress, Sali Berisha delivered a ridiculous and hopeless speech, in which there was nothing [at all?] about solving the crisis; if before Sunday and [sa?] the young [Mesila?] of the presentation, his calls [in?] with [nar?], whether [to whom?], whether to others but [more?] than [like?] citizens, institutions or ministers of the ministers, [were?] a meaningless confusion, [under?] [notes?] [and?] [purposes?] [not?] [distinguishable?], then it is clear that the Albanian right, or its segments, still has not managed to do anything [valuable?]. If it were otherwise, it would have articulated at least one worthwhile and clear alternative for the economy, public order, the administration or a reform of the [state?]. That these are missing among the opposition people is also shown by the hunger for political declarations by [Nano?], [Meksi?], [Arbnori?] and [the?] [others?], [which?] are [being?] presented in public opinion and in the media as a substitute for real programs.
