N. Enton Abilekaj He said it, too—the last word. He will turn the PD into the “Liberation Army.” There is nothing left for him but to come out now wearing the torn shirt of a “freedom fighter,” with a red band across his forehead, carrying one of those Kalashnikovs distributed a year ago, and sit down at the table of the parties to ... [cut/unclear section] ... the constitution, but at a meeting with the ambassador of ... the USA, or, why not, at the long-awaited meeting with Nano. It is clear that Berisha put an end to pressure on the Judiciary with yesterday’s statement, as well as to civilian participation in politics. His distressed face at yesterday’s PD rally, where, contrary to his call, the police did not strike any of the demonstrators and left no victims, could not fail to show his total loss of patience. And in the sadness that caught up with him at dusk, in the PD building, the sight of those people who can hardly wait to return to the police, SHIK or customs forced him to announce the party’s recruitment into an army. A few days ago Berisha himself had declared that all sympathizers should be turned into artillery. There is no doubt that he had today’s recruitment in mind, since he was abandoned by the West, by the police’s firmness, and by Everts’s mediation. And when he returned from Germany and saw all this at the rally, he issued the call to arms from the top of the PD, openly declaring war among Albanians. Not only because he wanted to do this, but also because he no longer has much to offer those crowds, who were so adept at committing crimes when they were in power. But, together with those crowds, Berisha is trying to recruit all the people who, perhaps through no fault of their own, still believe that the PD is a democratic force worthy of their vote. After all the appeals, after all the attempts to bring him back, made even by people whom he himself had politically persecuted, yesterday came the demonstration of this government’s actions. Those threatened by the declared war, and across the country ... Shkodër becomes ...
