The boss of Italian politics and media, Silvio Berlusconi, will help promote and finance the PD’s campaign for the local elections Gramoz Ruçi: "Berisha should help Berlusconi win the elections in Italy, not Berlusconi-Berisha" page 3

BY MARTIN LEKA I recall a time that may seem to think it is still too early to do everything one wants. Here I am not referring to war and the forever that will be put in place, something possible because the dragging out of tasks, as happens quite often in not a few cases of government and state administrative submissions, may be coming. Meanwhile, to accelerate things to the point where nothing is left but evil or unnecessary idleness. So there is no need to become pessimistic if this is also happening in our case, only to be aware that whatever course a normal election campaign takes, understandable elections and our elections in order cannot be fixed, but change still remains unfinished. In this sense, carrying them out brings us face to face with the unknown, with unexpected accidents, and, being unrealistically attractive, they are now identifiable as what may hinder the normal course of this process. For this reason, first of all, we must be careful and put an end to the blocking of its progress. From the very moment the official campaign begins, with the local elections in Albania and the important parliament, one understands that. Whether a normal election campaign would make elections in our country ordinary, the Albanians may well prove this time too. That may be why Albanians’ eyes are again on Italy, where Sunday and the week ahead are synonymous with the struggle for power, and it is more than that. It is understood that the day, for its part, in favor of the opposition, also includes its pull toward capturing the majority which, although it has shown none of the blindness of the strong, with the anger of work and especially in state administrative submissions that may be coming. Meanwhile, to accelerate things to the point where nothing is left but evil or unnecessary idleness. Since even when a country is occupied by foreigners and the repentant Empire departs, the victors, even the defeated among those who leave, take.
