Pashk Tusha is gone, Sokol Bare is no longer vice minister After the terror that shook the country, Fatos Nano signs off late last night on the major changes Page 2

BY ALFRED PEZA Fatos Nano and the other terrorized members of his ruling class, after quietly losing control of the country in the past two Saturdays. This was perhaps the reason that forced today's decision by the socialists threatened in administration. Socialist deputies are asking for some Democratic Party deputies... The terrorized people of Sali Berisha proposed to us a Council, perhaps in the modern form they created on 29 June 1997; nothing like this had happened, not even in the time of the Kreshniks. They began calmly and embraced it calmly. The first purges started with the removal of the top police leadership. In politics now there are movements by everyone. The unrest dominates; despite the moves by government and opposition, at least in terms of function, mainly in the police positioning, such statements would not surprise the public, but it seems they are part of a Tirana political game. Nothing really changes except the names. All actors have been known for weeks and indeed some top police directors have fallen, but the changes do not touch the Minister of the Interior. “Delayed justice is denied justice.” The DP has no eyes on the SP, therefore Malko says, “The DP has no criminals to bring out.” In Tirana politics, nothing serves the country well. With the replacement of police leaders, a familiar ritual seems to continue: removing heads, not the system. Everyone expects more than new names. If the new state offers new accountability as well, then the public may finally trust order. Otherwise, everything remains another move in a long institutional crisis.
