BY BERRO ÇUPI Yesterday, the morning dances had gathered at the shoulder of one of the famous ones, because they ended on Tuesday or Wednesday of all those days, back in October 1991, when Albania awakened the vapors of democracy. The authorities were on the same path, just to keep giving it, again and again, like Albanians put into the right mood. “As long as, let us say,” became the mouthpiece of the press with the no. one of an Albanian. This had been hidden before, that the one who kept his army armed, in order to rise up and do great harm, no, but he did not serve the passion of the victor, but surely he benefited the Albanians. They had said as early as yesterday that he would leave. He could not leave. That was all. Meanwhile, while the news laughs at nature, his house would not even be closed. He showed two days earlier that he had left. The next day he said he had not left. But yesterday, both of these were seen in the sunlight: he had left and he had stayed. There is an older, unwritten grudge against this figure of that our famous one, but this has nothing to do with what these people say in their present-day language. This is an event that can be met with laughter and tears. In Albania, his departure is the opposite of free movement. He appears in public not simply as a man fleeing, but as one who leaves behind the invisible hand of a disorder. Instead of calm, he leaves behind the anxiety that he may have left the state in the hands of those who use it as a marketplace. Instead of an ending, we also have a bad beginning: the news that the last trust citizens have had in the state may also leave. And when these go away, the departure of one man becomes the departure of an Albania. [?] our with this name became the headline of many times and many days. The 11th of September of the conference ping. While US President Bill Clinton ordered the first attacks against Sudan, as retaliation for the terrorist attacks organized against the USA at the embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, here the spirit of quarrels and disputes appeared once again. Albania’s “departure,” for many, was no longer a metaphor, but a reality felt in every office, every queue, every family waiting for the next piece of news.

Starting from several former ministers and continuing in a full cycle, our propaganda of botovoj(?) [sic], senior officials and the entire administration, who under the guise of “democracy” created real estate at a time when they were in open conflict with the law and, as a result, a considerable number of them were under accusation. All Albanian officials of recent years, starting with the former prime minister and the ministers, have created not only in Albania, but also outside it, movable and immovable assets. Some of them have been part of investigative files, but for a long time this data was not made public. In the coming pages we will bring complete dossiers on the wealth of each official.
