Facing Majko, the “doe” Meidani and the “wolf” Nano

If the prime minister loses out against the President and the parliamentary group, he may resign and the country will enter a political crisis. After that, early elections would follow The British prime minister’s trip has brought the situation to a critical day in the upheaval of the socialist camp. Tomorrow Mr. “Koko” will go through the “sieve” of the Socialist parliamentary group, where the assembly expected to erupt in the socialist camp may upset the current balances and unsettle the socialists. This day, the penultimate one before the start of NATO’s intervention against Yugoslavia, and the penultimate in line with the country’s circumstances and the balance of forces in the PS, seems to him just as important as the others. Prime Minister Majko is in a difficult position. He is unusual in parliament, and in the face of the forces that have launched a political offensive against him, President Meidani’s name is being mentioned loudly. This figure is becoming the center of moves aimed at slowing the continuation of the current government. In recent weeks, the prime minister has moved between two poles: that of compromise and that of confrontation. If he loses out against the President and the parliamentary group, he may resign and the country will enter a political crisis. After that, early elections would become almost inevitable. Majko is trying to survive by maintaining the balance with the party structures, but on the other hand his opponents are lining up clearly. In this context, Fatos Nano’s name is mentioned as the presence of the “wolf,” while Meidani is the “doe,” in an attempt to create the figures of an internal Socialist battle.
