Scientific rationalism calls every truth into question, even the truths of the PS, which are arbitrary and dogmatic. F. S. was officially alarmed by the prospect of two prime ministers being set head to head, as if the position of the two number ones in relation to one another had already been determined by Bujku, so as not to be called truncated and monist. The unmatched socialists, the Babylonians of socialism and the orthodox Marxists have proclaimed as the height of democracy the unification of the post of PS leader with that of prime minister, the isolation of dissent within the party, using party committees, basic organizations, etc. for this purpose. So, Prime Minister Nano and his government were not supposed to move a single thought at any time, according to F. S.’s platform; they were supposed to implement the PS program exactly. Otherwise, Nano and his government should have resigned, because they were acting contrary to the official policy of the PS. Despite being staged and invented, this statement by F. S. clearly contains two important things: 1) that the PS faithfully adheres to monism and the famous article of the Constitution of socialism on the leading role of the party, that is, that it reserves for itself the governing functions over the state and the government (political leadership); 2) that it is not a modern and progressive political force, that it still thinks, speaks and behaves with a Bolshevik mentality. Apart from being ridiculous, F. S.’s concern about two prime ministers is completely outside the Albanian realist context and comes across as a delirium of open conflict with number one. M. N. may be a member of the government and prime minister without being a deputy at all, not even a member of the PD presidency, or even without being a member of it at all. Likewise, he was appointed prime minister by the President and not by any political forum. F. S., on the other hand, came to the head of the executive as a deputy of the leadership forum of the PPSH, not to mention its other name here. Mr. Berisha was not appointed to the post of President by any political forum of his party but by popular referendum; this was the reason for the symbolism of the famous change of the President’s office with the office of the head of a political party. Here the head of state of a democratic country also differs from the Chief of State in a monist system. To date, Mr. Berisha has been purely formal in the post of party chairman, elected in a brief transitional moment, until its forums could gather. However, we know very well what the truth is in the PS, when only Mr. Nano could resolve the issue of the chairman of the PS and when his government was fully in line with the decisions of the congress, etc. This deformation in establishing the role of the party over the state and the government, an old Enverist postulate, is one of the main reasons why Enverist socialism in Albania failed and why today’s attempts by the socialists to reform it are doomed to fail. The PS elite cannot free itself from the mentality that the party has all the rights and that the state is its instrument. This is precisely the new variant of Enverist Bolshevism.

- AUSTRIA WILL GIVE PRIORITY TO RELATIONS WITH ALBANIA - - FROM THE VISIT OF THE AUSTRIAN PRIME MINISTER, FRANC VRANICKY, TO MR. PETER AMBROZY IN AUSTRIA - Vienna.

At this time, the thousand hours of Mr. Nano’s isolation in prison 313 are approaching, while the number of hours he has spent in pre-trial detention has exceeded 2,000. Counting a total of around 3,000 hours in isolation, this is a significant figure for the fate of the former prime minister. Sources close to his family state that Mr. Nano’s health and psychological condition has worsened. According to these sources, he continues to be held in a separate cell under a harsh regime. Family members have expressed concern about the lack of regular contact and the restrictions on communication. Meanwhile, Mr. Nano’s lawyers are demanding respect for procedural rights and treatment according to legal standards. They have pointed out that the measure of prolonged isolation does not help clarify the case and worsens the human condition of the accused. Political opinions on this case remain divided. Supporters of the opposition call this a political blow, while representatives of the majority insist that justice must follow its own path. In any case, the number of hours of isolation is becoming a symbol of the debate over how political figures are treated in transitional Albania.

Reply to "ZP" Mr. Li has violated the well-known absence of the crafted intellect in "ZP" (Regarding an article titled "Suarë’s extraordinary response to government accusations" in "ZP") P. J. Hoxha, through a polemical piece, has reacted to the way the newspaper "ZP" handled a political and personal issue. According to the author, the article in question is full of insinuations, distortions and attempts to hide the truth. The author points out that instead of argument, the piece uses labels and denigrating language. He says this shows the crisis of critical thought in the pages of "ZP" and the inability to face public debate in a civilized manner. Furthermore, the response focuses on several specific points of the debate, contesting the claims of the article and demanding accuracy in quotations, in the presentation of facts and in the treatment of the persons mentioned. In the end, the author considers it essential for public polemics to be conducted with ethics, argumentative culture and without slander, because only in this way can the reader be informed and not manipulated.
