The Democratic Party proves the crimes

Today, Berisha’s former ministers before the military court / All in one prison The Democratic Party proves the crimes Over 6 hours in the courtroom, here is what the accused said Page 2 Cleaning up politics BY FATOS LUBONJA At a time when things are increasingly escalating and Albanians have had the conviction that those responsible for the unrest and disorder we went through in the foul summer of the failure of the obstacle of innocent people are dealing with what is due to them: secondariness, and yet to the apostle as far as the maturing of their whole and of the whole participation of Berisha, the arrest and the fact of the time, something is not right. Nano-Berisha is a well-known name. In fact, there is talk. No one has been left out. And the question echoes everywhere? The answer has been given in guesses. Nevertheless, the best-known instigators and speakers for a Nano-Berisha, of course, are not the opinion-makers. But another part of them think emotionally. Because of the misunderstanding they do not want to mention any name at all and go after it with a cannon; which is understandable, since such a thing does not exist. Because even the use itself has been a challenge. These things make the question spoken. Should it be heard? The answer is on our middle page. It has to do with the atmosphere before the elections and with every kind of inequality in the state that is being built. Certainly the possible currents of pressure are not few. In any case, if a new state functions on the tracks of the law, distortions and deformations cannot be ignored. Otherwise, the very fair criticism of what is happening and what is expected loses its value. From this point of view, where are we going? If the justice system, directed by authority, takes on the appearance of an instrument used according to the need of the moment, ignoring and freeing in the same way according to political interests, then it loses the ability to be judgment. This applies to yesterday as well as to the past. It is not enough only to punish the opponent. One must have the maturity to punish oneself as well for one’s responsibilities. Otherwise, the cleansing of politics remains only a slogan. Photo GENT SHKULLAKU Vlorën Çela, escorted by police, entering the courtroom yesterday
