Those in power are accusing one another: Who handed the documents to the chairman of the Democratic Party? He knows everything about the Ministry of Public Order, the banks, the government... page 7

By ENTON ABILEKA It has been less than two years, and the pain over what the brothers left behind when they crossed over the vote and departed miserably into the underworld of this world was terrifying and shocking, hard to describe. With aggressive and harsh steps, they confronted what is happening before the ragged Albanian people and Albanians. In order to secure the dark weight of tears and chaos. Perhaps Berisha’s dream, that he would be a popular government, could not be that of someone who would come and put back on their feet those who had fallen. With his past before him. Albania, once again, is not rising. Throughout the campaign for the return of the votes of 29 June and after they were taken along with them, the socialists put themselves on display. But after Sunday, Berisha may be a tragedy turned into a tragedy before the youth. Berisha is caught in a noisy blur, the outcome of his party’s exit into the political terrain, first as president and then overthrown by the uprising of 1997. Over 60 percent of Albanians for the socialists’ rift. After eight years Berisha continues to judge by instinct, found in every village, in shops, on roads, at bends or on walls. Sali Berisha’s Albania failed in its needs and in the absence of a future. His successor builds on the terror and hunger of the ordinary person. Therefore, simple, civic logic makes it clear: Berisha has gone. Berisha has been replaced. If he had that same kind of opposition, since 1991 he found it impossible to turn it into an alternative. What came out in Vlorë, a result of the demon of pain, shows Berisha’s duplication in the right vortex. If the opposition is not clear about the lack of a platform, it drags itself along as well. If Berisha is a candidate who will create a victory against the socialists, on Sunday that was verified in Vlorë. Berisha today presents himself as the solution. But that is against common sense. Albania in these months is his leap. In Vlorë, the socialists are in charge and bear the country’s responsibilities. To escape this, if he gives and gives Albania. The socialists are governing and bear the country’s responsibilities. Berisha there looks like a spirit from the past. If he does not know responsibility and in 1991 he made it number one party and president for as long as he was in office, he is equally convinced that he will return. Albania today is not the Albania of 1991. Nor is it the one of inequality. The return does not return. Time does not stop. Events lie beyond this. Berisha pushes everything forward with a spirit of revenge. Vlorë was swept by harsh accusations and the loss of family and memory. Again, the same aggressive rhetoric. Again, the same contempt of yesterday. Therefore, Berisha in Vlorë was a victory for the PS.

“Koha Jonë” has been a newspaper with its own mission ever since it entered the press market. It began its work with the first issue published on 11 May 1991. It has always had the mission of informing, commenting on events, and serving as a public school for debate. “Koha Jonë” has been an independent newspaper. It has always denounced the state’s wrongs and abuses. It has opposed power at every turn. It has also paid a price for this line.
