In five decades of Pol Pot Hoxha's rule, so many monsters were bred in Albania that they turned the communist half-century into a monster age. Now that Albanians have finally broken away from such an era, the monsters, who still want to survive in order to remain useful, have been drawn into the monster politics of the party of the legacy, have usurped its leadership, or serve this leadership. The projectors and deliverers of genocide The Parliament's verdict horrifies you In five decades of rule under Pol Pot Hoxha, so many monsters were bred in Albania that they turned the communist half-century into a monster time. Now that Albanians have finally broken away from such a time, the monsters, who still want to survive in order to remain useful, have been drawn into the monster politics of the party of the legacy, have usurped its leadership, or serve this leadership. Being the common denominator of all moral, political, human and intellectual defenses, such monsters, by virtue of the compromise phenomenon, take on the role of closeted breeders of hatred, become interpreters of evil, advocates of crime and find shelter in the most compromised political headquarters, which reek of the anarchy of scandals, corruption and filth, of the world of black money and calls for civil war, bloodshed and plunder. In this same vein appears the old and new symbol of chief judge Brozi in the PS headquarters. The defense that the PS newspaper "ZP" gives to Chief Judge Brozi is the same defense that the old political class gives to the legacy of the past, to the remnants of the secret police, to the communist nomenklatura that has penetrated the very core of the judiciary, in the framework of Brozi's "initiative" for the foundation of "independence" of the Albanian courts. The concept of "independence" that Brozi has for the institution he heads is wretched, since he seeks independence from constitutional laws and values, drawing on the atavistic legacies of the State Security that used to be directed from the PS. In this context, the "ismati"[?] of this miserable "politician" with attempts at political manipulation of justice in the country, which raised democracy into a system, which he seeks to bring back into the chamber of a headquarters, the editor of "ZP" once again reveals the complexes of the legacy, the involvement of the Socialist leader with the past of crime and genocide, the capitulation of the socialist tribunals before the structures of the Security service, which, if it has been reduced by the action of democratic institutions, has remained untouched in the heads of the deficient and the delusional. In your period of persistence[?] not only in the years '90-'91, when you sought to prolong the life of the Dictatorship through murders in the scenario, but also now, in these three years of democracy, there are persistent positions that, sometimes with arbitrariness and sometimes with unconstitutional faces, sometimes with oppositions from Strasbourg and sometimes with constant objections to the laws passed in Parliament, have shown and still show that you sought at any cost the return of the structures of the old world, which brought the Albanians to the edge of existence. For the sake of this awakening, you have built in the shadows a political column of thieves-heroes, mercenaries and crime leaders, former State Security agents and prostitutes, pseudo-dissidents prepared in Alia's offices and constitutionalists of hobbyism, "reliable" and compromised heads, irresponsible and fanatical boulevard people, nostalgic veterans without honor, always monsters of evil serving it for a high or symbolic price. Among the amalgamated witness assemblies, you have also recruited the suspected judge Brozi, who, in his desperate awakening, through the service he performs for you, sees the persecutor of the man and the irresponsible one who continues, and has been devoted by his arm crushed by the old crown. At the disposal of this strategy you have placed black money and scandals, the old and new funds of solidarity[?], the wealth of the poor people you robbed, humiliation and massacre. Under the title "shame", the editorial of "ZP" once again reveals the complexes of the legacy, the involvement of the socialist leader with the past of crime and genocide, the capitulation of the socialist tribunals before the structures of the Security service, which, if it has been brought down by the action of democratic institutions, has remained untouched in the heads of the deficient and the delusional. You are the protagonists of the executioners of genocide, protagonists of its end, who still continue to carry lists of terror, and who envisioned Albanian nights of St. Bartholomew, dreamed of and turned the medieval Inquisition into the eve of the 2000s, in the crucible of freedom and of great hopes. Your hysterical lamentations in Parliament for civil war, raving from the freedom of the demons of pathological revenge, are the fuel of violence from which you must absolutely not break away. You marked[?] what the end will be of the much-talked-about visit that the President of the Republic will soon make to Washington; and you forget that whatever this journey may be, it will be judged not by the most powerful dimension of the democracy of the Albanians, and never by the centers of your perverse hopes for a St. Bartholomew of Albania. Shame is yours, projectors and executors of genocide, who in the shelter of excess freedom still have not answered for the crimes committed. That justice is slow but does not forget, while the hour of the mercenary pseudo- judges and their archaic patrons will become entangled with the feeling of oblivion. Your recent attempts at[?] desperate, and in despair, the quarrels and the frustration remained irresponsibility; politicians lose contact with reality, hallucinating swelling, their overreaction, masks of the Brozi type, turn into court jesters. Both sides share the same fate: failure, with outcomes that show that monster politics, which takes monster protagonists under its protection, has a monster ending. All this activity and the joint action of the former State Security hierarchs and their traps with Brozi, the calls for the night of St. Bartholomew, the illegal rallies, the psychological terror of "ZP", all of this has an immediate cause: the forthcoming verdict of the Albanian Parliament on you, projectors and executors of human and cultural genocide. It is precisely this verdict that horrifies you.

As is known, Belgrade has drawn up plans to settle Serbian columns in the house where the League of Prizren was founded. Serb columns in the house where the League of Prizren was founded As is known, Belgrade has drawn up plans to settle Serbian columns in the house where the League of Prizren was founded. This was made clear in the warning that the Serbian director Natasha Shutakoviç of the League of Prizren Complex gave to the Albanian employees, telling them to remove all exhibits from the building, because according to her Serbian refugees would be settled there. This is an open attack on the history of the Albanian nation, a serious provocation showing that Belgrade aims to achieve perverse political goals by settling Serbian columns in Kosovo.

President Berisha received a full briefing on Albania's achievements and commitment on the path of reforms toward building the rule of law and the market economy. President of the Republic Sali Berisha received the delegation of the Foreign Policy Commission of the National Assembly of France, headed by the Secretary of this commission, Jean-Claude Marquis Yesterday President Berisha received a full briefing on Albania's achievements and commitment on the path of reforms toward building the rule of law and the market economy. He expressed gratitude for France's help as well as President Chirac's personal support for the victory of the democratic forces. The interlocutors expressed concern about the situation in the region. President Berisha said: "I want to greet President Chirac, who has brought a new moral, political and military dimension to France's stance toward our region, which is significantly influencing Western policy. His insistence on preserving the integrity of Bosnia's borders is vitally important to preventing a series of other conflicts. In this respect, the permanent settlement of Kosovo on the path of talks, within the framework of a comprehensive solution to the conflict, is also of particular importance. Albania also encourages dialogue between Greece and Macedonia in the interest of stability in our region". President Berisha also touched on the problem of minority assimilation. "We think, he said, that Albania has the most liberal education system and this stems from its policy. Minority pupils in Albania have the right, where the numbers allow it, to open their own schools or, where this number is not reached, to open classes where their mother tongue is taught, or to open private schools, or to be provided with transport to the nearest school". Mr. Jean-Claude Marquis highly praised Albania's surprising achievements in such a short time, describing the Albanian economic experience as wonderful for its results and calling Albanians extraordinary. France is following with interest the progress of the reforms in Albania and supports them. He also assured that Albania will have the parliamentary support of the deputies for its Association Agreement with the European Union". Press and Information Office at the Presidency

Mr. Arbnori received Mr. Marquis The Chairman of the Presidium of the People's Assembly, Pjetër Arbnori, received yesterday morning the parliamentary delegation of the National Assembly of France, headed by Mr. Marquis. In his presentation, Mr. Arbnori focused on the democratic changes and the reforms of our country at the national level. "We have neither made nor will we make any political trial, but we will condemn communist genocide according to the law," Mr. Arbnori emphasized. Regarding Albania's foreign policy, it was pointed out that today Kosovo has had its borders erased and all the rights provided for by the 1974 Constitution have been denied, with the ethnic cleansing of 2 million Albanians from the colonized territory being demanded insistently. With Macedonia, Chairman Arbnori noted the problem of education, the use of the Albanian language within Parliament, as well as the right to participate in the political life of the country, stressing that the Albanians there play a stabilizing political role. Regarding Greece, he said that relations have improved, and that we have not followed the principle of reciprocity in the treatment of minorities. In closing, Mr. Arbnori asked for greater commitment from French investors to help the country's economic development. Mr. Marquis said that Albania lacks France's help and that he sees the prospect of closer relations between the two countries.

Work has begun to implement the most ambitious plan for this year on the Albanian railway: the reconstruction of the Durrës-Tirana line, which is going beyond all expectations. Work has begun to carry out the most ambitious plan for this year on the Albanian railway: the reconstruction of the Durrës- Tirana line, which is going far beyond all expectations. This concerns the reconstruction of one of the most important railway lines, which characterizes the vital and modern connection in the movement of goods and especially of passengers. The reconstruction foresees the complete renewal of this line, including replacement of the tracks. This will mean not only doubling the speed, but also increasing safety of movement. The aim is for the movement of goods and passengers on this stretch to approach European standards. Upon completion of this major work, those from Durrës and Tirana will be able to travel to and from each other in less than 30 minutes. Here, at Sukth station, where the machinery and equipment of the Italian side have been installed, our specialists and the Italian ones are working at a fast pace. It is expected that at this pace the task will be completed in less than eight months, and if we take into account the speed at which work is being carried out here, and the perfect way in which the General Directorate of Railways has organized this activity by creating a special enterprise with a specialized budget, it gives confidence that the above deadline could even be shortened. The old, worn-out sleepers from use are being replaced with new ones. The rails are being welded one after another. Everything is changing. Modern machinery has been put into operation.

In recent days the Albanian press has published a series of articles and analyses concerning the presence of Marx's doctrine in the PS program. Imagination and unfounded insinuations In recent days the Albanian press has published a series of articles and analyses concerning the presence of Marx's doctrine in the PS program. It is the press's right to address and choose the topics it deems fit, especially when it concerns matters central to a party's program. But in these writings the authors have allowed themselves, with their own assumptions, to involve the President of the Republic in a somewhat similar way, linking him to the PS leadership group or even speaking of pressure from the President on that party. Asked to comment on the insinuations in these writings, the President's spokesman declared: 1- The President of the Republic, while keeping unwavering respect for all parties and political forces within the constitutional arc, considers the presence of Marx's doctrine in the program of the PS and of any other political party to be an entirely internal matter of that party, but also a matter for the political life of the country as a whole and a historical irresponsibility with such dangerous consequences for Albania's present and future image. The doctrine of Marx and Lenin, also described as the gate of hell for Albanians, is the philosophical doctrine with which Enver Hoxha for nearly 50 years justified the dictatorship of the proletariat, the ban on freedom of speech and belief, movement and thought, expropriation and total collectivization. It is the doctrine that served as the theoretical basis for persecution, repression, prisons and concentration camps, and class hatred, in which poor Albanians were killed, shot and interned. It is the doctrine that, through indoctrination, destroyed the cult of the external enemy, the enemy of the class, the enemy of the Party, the internal enemy, on the basis of which brother denied brother, wife her husband, children their parents. It is the doctrine that divided the Albanians, splitting them into "us" and "them", into city people, kulaks, bourgeois, revisionists, etc. This doctrine served as the basis for Albania's severing from the Western world and its plunging into the deepest isolation it has ever known. Marx's doctrine legitimized the destruction of religious institutions, major cultural and national values, private property and human dignity. To appeal tonight to this doctrine is a complete lack of responsibility and an absurd attempt to justify the national tragedy, torture, violence, terror, hell, misery, impoverishment, deformation that our country experienced. To put it in the program means aiming at a new isolation of Albania and at destroying the Western and civilizational path, your enduring values, and the future of our children. To serve Albania today with alternatives based on Marx's truth means to serve it enemies of the democratic, human and national values of the Albanians. - The President of the Republic does not interfere in the programs of parties and does not exert pressure, but he cannot fail to denounce the dangers posed to Albania by Marxism and all totalitarian ideologies. He would welcome the removal of Marx from the PS program, which would be a liberation from a great sin, and he calls on all PS members to show civic courage on this issue. He is convinced that this is the opinion and desire of the Albanian electorate, which on 22 March voted against this philosophy, as well as of hundreds and thousands of other citizens whom the fruits of democracy later convinced, only for them to become disappointed by the absurdity of its own time. The spokesman also stressed that although the President encourages and regards as truly positive the stance against Marxism and the denunciation of the theory of Marx by some MPs of the PS leadership, claims about coordination of these positions are simply imagination and unfounded insinuations.
