The return of property is strongly opposed Socialists bare their fangs of the mother party THE RETURN OF PROPERTY IS STRONGLY OPPOSED ... and the stressed ones, shall we steal this farmer’s land? Yes, so that this will not be the case. Autumn until[?] it will be corrected. For this reason, fellow villagers and acquaintances and relatives have begun to show silent solidarity, doing everything possible to relativize at all costs the court’s decision to return the inherited land. Such a case is worthy of every attention, since it could become a precedent for our still independent[?] justice, but also for public opinion, which at all costs demands that the law on the right to property, recently approved by referendum and voted on in the People’s Assembly, be respected. ... a poor mother now lives in her sister’s house and with her little son in a difficult economic condition. She has won by court decision the right of ownership over the land, but she faces the resistance of those who do not want its return. (Continued on page 2)

SPEECH OF MR. PETER ARBNORI IN THE PEOPLE’S ASSEMBLY Honourable Mr. Chairman, Representatives of the Albanian people, Today we will examine the draft law “On the status of former political persecuted persons and those sentenced to imprisonment for crimes against humanity”. Let us clarify the words. Wealth may not deviate — for[?] intervention, creating the idea as if several governments or states had passed into responsibility. On this issue, we have a clear picture, but I will speak briefly, because we all know what Albania was like before and after the war. The state before the war was an independent state, a state with a stable population, a market economy, and a certain cultural development. After the war, a totalitarian regime was established that destroyed political freedoms, the market economy, private property and a large part of the national elite. In this sense, former political persecuted persons and their families are victims of a criminal system. They must be rehabilitated morally and materially. This is an obligation of the democratic state. (Continued on page 4)

PS - a party that defends the interests of its leaders and members — Agreements, deals, differences...[?] 2 - Return properties with special...[?]... but known 4 - Failure of governance...[?] In my country I became a cooperative member, and later the rights I had were taken away from me as well. Today we are seeing how some former leaders seek to protect their own interests and those of their political circle. They speak of equality and justice, but in reality they oppose the return of property, the rehabilitation of the persecuted, and the moral punishment of the crimes of communism.
