Fatos Nano FIGHTS IN THE ENVERIST "WEAPONS"
- The tribune is mentioned in accusations and murders, the media in question; - Blessed is he who is rocked by society, they say.
As long as a parliament of communists, social democrats, legalists, and republicans is gathered to the end, which makes history with some divided vote of the people, it has been created with a communist mentality and culture. By making himself out to be the son of salvation, not a socialist or a communist, Mr. Nano is, with this history, raising the tribune like a magic wand. He confuses history with the present, with the future and the past. By making himself anti-communist, he is using the opponent as an enemy of the people. On his tribune, everything finds a place: former prosecutors, former judges, former old leaders, and others who built the system of violence in Albania. He dresses these people in the garb of victims and reformers. In this way he tries to create a new psychosis, like what was once called class struggle, but with new political and propaganda tools. The tribune becomes the place where insults against opponents replace the program, where insinuations become arguments and where anger is sold as an alternative. This is the Enverist weapon: the fabrication of the enemy, the glorification of yesterday, and the use of fear to seize today.

Thousands of Albanians sold themselves for a Greek "jewel"
- Joint press conference of MHP and MLP -
Yesterday, at a press conference, representatives of MHP and MLP denounced the pressure and provocations that, according to them, are being exerted against Albanians. They said that thousands of Albanian citizens are paying the price for a discriminatory policy linked to Greek interests. According to them, behind the rhetoric of good neighborliness lies an unfair practice toward Albanian workers and emigrants. At the conference, institutional reaction and protection of citizens' dignity were called for. The representatives stressed that no political "jewel" can justify the humiliation of Albanians and the violation of their rights.
