Those who experienced the destruction of Albania now defend corruption

THE PLENARY SESSION OF THE CC OF THE PSSH DEFENDS CORRUPTION STATEMENT BY THE PD PARLIAMENTARY GROUP Those who experienced the destruction of Albania, now defend corruption THE PLENARY SESSION OF THE CC OF THE PSSH DEFENDS CORRUPTION STATEMENT BY THE PD PARLIAMENTARY GROUP The Albanian Parliament, which is the place where the normal activities of the country should be conveyed, has been met by the defenders of corruption before the Albanians with calls for irresponsible political confrontations. They fully understand that the current government is firmly committed to the fight against corruption and economic crime, and this is where their obvious concern lies. If an interference and opposition to the actions of the government and parliament by the PPSH administration through its paid militants is being observed here, this is an irresponsible and anti-national act. The old members of the communist governments once never considered corruption and crime to be anything condemnable. This is a bitter historical truth that today forces them to take corruption under their protection. The attempt of the general organizing committee of the PPSSH is a search for the security gained through the labor of the people’s sweat. People must know that the democratic government is under strong pressure from the old clans to avoid the application of the law and the punishment of the guilty. This also explains the political uproar they are trying to create. (Continued on page 2)

NANO is plotting against the Albanian-Italian humanitarian mission

NANO IS PLOTTING AGAINST THE ALBANIAN-ITALIAN HUMANITARIAN MISSION With such a high level of interest from both domestic and Italian public opinion, the humanitarian mission of the Italian organization "Publia", which arrived aboard the ship "Vega" to distribute aid from Italy, is being followed in our country. Meanwhile, certain circles of the left are trying to present this mission as a suspicious activity, unfairly linking it to political interests. In particular, the latest reaction of the PS chairman, Fatos Nano, has fueled polemical tones against this mission, bringing an atmosphere of distrust into public opinion. According to the Italian organizers, the aid is intended for families in need and social institutions, regardless of political beliefs. In statements made by representatives of the mission, it is said that the sole purpose is humanitarian and that any attempt to politicize it runs counter to the spirit of solidarity that the mission has brought to Albania.
