Nano threatens Berisha

To the violence that is being prepared for 31 August, the police should respond with the violence of the law Why doesn't Meidani speak! Pages 2-3 Why doesn't Meidani speak BY BLENDI FEVZIU There are many people with the sudden astonishment of the approaches of PD deputies and the whispered rumors. Was the immaturity of staging the government's departure in the spirit of sabotaging order gone? Nanos and the bewilderment of all balances. Sensitive positions from the right to the bloody declarations of right-wing groups and individuals who threaten revolt over the killing of Azem Hajdari, and at the moment they declare that on Monday everyone will gather, armed, in front of the Prime Minister's Office. These days the entire opposition, and not only it, has fallen as if into a state of delirium. To take upon yourself organizing the gathering of armed militants and to explode on Saturday against peaceful, terrorized people, or to say that the Albanian state is no more in public. Almost in the right-wing expressions, the goal is achieved. Yes, but if it were not the president, why would he not decree the SHIK government? With a government that readily declares it has terrorists, anyone who is killed OR passes by. Here, no, there will no longer be a government and that is the end. Here there is a constitutional right[?], not to run the government and for Meidani to be made. If Berisha is summoned, would this be staged to be attacked and dragged away! I do not know whether the goodness of the situation is intolerable[?] nor the management of the crisis. We have entered catastrophic days, where the country is on the brink of a civil war. I do not understand why the president is silent! Undoubtedly, he too has the duty to stop all political forces and avoid any possibility. Today, they vainly seek messages[?] from foreign doors of those opposed to escalation. For them, the protection of parliament matters, not Albania! The president remains silent while the prime minister is condemning the right wing to severe consequences. Last night several PD deputies told Berisha that it would be a mistake to embark on an explosive street adventure. Meanwhile, he continues to inflame the government with slanderous rhetoric. That will not be enough to avoid Monday. On Friday they were told that OR passes. Berisha's request is to participate in the government meeting in order to remove the police leadership. According to the latest reports, this has not happened. This means that in the coming hours the country could be engulfed by serious incidents. Police surround the airport, no foreigner from Arab countries is allowed through Binasi is closed to Islamists 35 people are turned back, including some with Albanian visas, citizens of countries whose official religion is Islam[?] Photo ALIOS NANO Photo GENT SHKULLAKU
