Shall we really let them steal our future?

In March of this year Albania is entering a new chapter in its history. It is the day when the overwhelming majority of Albanians will decide, with a free and democratic vote, what kind of society they want to live in. This is the day when the Albanian people will finally part ways with the communist past and with the system that impoverished, isolated and denigrated it. On these days we must remember everything this dictatorship did to our people. It kept Albania in extreme backwardness, destroyed the economy, turned the country into a huge prison, denied fundamental freedoms and stole the future from citizens. The Albanian people now hold their own fate in their hands. They must choose whether to leave it again in the hands of those who brought the country to this condition, or to open the way to a new democratic life. The free vote is the most powerful tool citizens have to punish the wrongs of the past and build the future. Every vote for change is a vote for freedom, for bread, for dignity and for Europe. We must be united and determined. The future is coming and no one can stop it.

The Democratic Party strongly denounces the grave economic and moral situation into which the communist regime has led the country. It declares that free elections must be a clear break with the past and a determined step toward genuine democracy. The Albanian people must not be deceived by empty promises and propaganda. They must judge on the basis of what has happened in these years and on the concrete responsibilities of those who have governed the country. The Democratic Party calls on all citizens to take part in the elections, to vote for freedom, the rule of law and a market economy. Only in this way can a developed, open and European Albania be built.

The Albanian Shell Bank in the years 1993-87 prostituted ricka per 1000 dr with a fox has been a killer? Today, in free and fair elections in a free and impartial society, those measures that have been taken in Albania are beginning to be implemented; we hear about these measures every day on the radio, on television, in various branches of our lives. I am truly happy, although from the very beginning I was convinced that these changes would come. But to tell the truth, I was the one who underestimated them in terms of the time when these changes would take place. Regarding this, it must be emphasized that it was very important that all these actions were carried out calmly and without consequences. However, there have also been cases where particular people suffered, but fortunately for our country and for the lives of our people, these have been few. Today's Albania is at the beginning of its changes. Here I want to say that these changes were truly necessary and were put into effect at the right time, without delay. Measures have been taken that must be valued. However, one must not think that everything is over. On the contrary, we must remain vigilant and careful so that everything proceeds along the right path.

15 days after readers had been told that an "accident" had happened to the press office, we readers were informed that the scandal of the missing weapons was more of a propagandistic invention. In the other newspaper, this matter was written about at length, but there too the lack of convincing facts was evident. The issue remains unclear and readers are waiting for full explanations.

These days a material has circulated in which the names of several political figures and past events are mentioned. The author tries to create a link between today's positions and former stances. At the center of the article is Mysa Nusi and his role in political developments. However, the text is presented as incomplete and without sufficient documentation.

REFLECTIONS We are only one week away from 22 March, the long-awaited day when our people will have their say through the free vote. These elections are not merely a procedure, but a historic test for Albania's fate. Every citizen must think responsibly about their own future, their family's future and the country's future. Those who for years led Albania into poverty, isolation and misery are once again seeking to hold on to power. But the people now know the truth and can no longer be deceived. If we want freedom, well-being and dignity, we must vote for change. There is no more time for hesitation.
