Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been channeled by KESH and the former Minister of Privatization for the electricity grid, yet the country is once again in complete electricity chaos, so the прокуратura should begin investigations Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been channeled by KESH and the former Minister of Privatization for the electricity grid, yet the country is once again in complete electricity chaos, so the prosecution should begin investigations If Prime Minister Meta and Prosecutor General Rakipi want a strong rule-of-law state, then they should send all former ministers, ministers, and senior administration directors who stole the people's property to the cells of Prison 313 page 3

Dictatorship over irresponsible ministers

By Mentor Kikia To be a soldier with an extraordinary moral standard is what the energy season has demanded of us in a failed way. Suli has been brought down. More places. It demands extraordinary attention from the government. Moreover, it has tainted the energy season. Suli has been brought down. More places. It demands extraordinary attention from the government. More than words, deeds must begin. But as has happened with the madness over water. Shall we return to water, or to energy? Will the same description continue? Days have passed with things. “Wake up” for this country and for this people, who vote so quickly with their eyes on the strong governments of this and things need guns? for the government's individuals? The same fate? Do they go all the way to the strongest governments of the economy? Something else? This is the responsibility of the government and its ministers. What is more, we are in an Albania where every poverty day and night of energy and administration, work with the wonder of savagery! The waters and the state have turned it into an absurdity of daily life. An absurdity in the life of Albanian citizens. If Prime Minister Meta and Prosecutor General Rakipi want a strong rule-of-law state, then they should send all former ministers, ministers and senior administration directors who stole the people's property to the cells of Prison 313. They should be brought before justice because they are violators of this state and of the Albanian people. And we, as citizens, must no longer accept the old game with new excuses. This is a necessary dictatorship over irresponsible ministers. Only in this way can the country be rebuilt and people begin to believe they will rediscover their place within the rule of law. page 3

KESH blocks the publication of the main newspapers

Dr. Aleksandër Meksi explains that “Koha Jonë”, “Gazeta Shqiptare”, “Albania”, “PD”, “Sport Ekspres”, “Bota sot”, “Shqiptaria”, “Rilindja Demokratike” will not be published because the printing house “Mihal Duri” has its electricity cut off from the segment at the KESH cascades. The printing house's electricity is cut off because there is an unpaid bill of 6 million lek. Dr. Prof. Arlind [?] Hoxha said, he affirmed that with the wall of darkness, the inspiration to inform is also interrupted. page 10, 15
