PD wins, its construction alternative

The survey conducted in groups by the Sociology-Philosophy Department at the Faculty of Social Sciences once again proves the calm strength of the PDSH platform, while the PS and its satellites are thrown to the ground in an electoral uproar, and attacks and denials suitable for democratic development and the highest adaptations of the country. PD wins, its construction alternative The survey conducted in groups by the Sociology-Philosophy Department at the Faculty of Social Sciences once again proves the calm strength of the PDSH platform, while the PS and its satellites are thrown to the ground in an electoral uproar and attacks and denials that are worthy of democratic development and of the country’s highest adaptations. How has it responded to the intense commitment for the full realization of the Program. It is exactly its construction alternative that has made people aware of the historical mission of a political force. It is a moral and honorable force that is bearing fruit in a broad effort in which the overwhelming majority of citizens support PDSH. PS is engaged in reforms-President Sali Berisha and the Democratic Government are deeply committed to the rule of law, expanding the free space of individual liberties, while the opposition and its electoral supporters deepen the crisis and the disappointment caused by the key laws of the reform in Albania, with the fruits of freedom having been devoted entirely to the construction of that system which socialism had destroyed for 50 years in a row. Naturally there are still many problems that need to be solved, but what matters is to work toward solving them, and PDSH is fully committed to solving them. That is why 65% of Albanians rate the government's domestic policy as successful, and support for its politicians stands at 53% compared with only 18% for the left-wing politicians of the failing PS-PSD-PAD triad. The survey results are a consequence of the justice and the PD alternative, of its progress. The Albanian reality after March '92 bears the name of democratic thought, of the alternative that transformed Albania from a land of hunger, from the Somalia of Europe, into a land of rapid development growth, into the land of the spectacular lowering of inflation, into the land of major processes of development. The Albania of 1995 stands with Albania of 1991 as day stands to night, as construction to destruction, as progress to regression, as the new to the past; therefore 82% of people are optimistic, believe in the PD, believe in the democrat, in the Democratic Government, in the leader of the democratic processes Sali Berisha. Therefore Albania cannot go backward.

He also thanked them for the position of the German government on Kosovo. The Secretary of State for Defense, Mr. Wilz, said that the expansion of military cooperation between the two countries was a step forward and not a mere formality.

We have done a truly scientific piece of work

Kliti Ceca, 28 years old, graduated in mathematics, has been working as a lecturer for 5 years at the Department of Mathematics in the Faculty of Natural Sciences. We have done a truly scientific piece of work Kliti Ceca, 28 years old, a graduate in mathematics, has for 5 years been working as a lecturer at the Department of Mathematics in the Faculty of Natural Sciences. A mathematician-statistician specialized in this field at home and abroad, he carried out the processing of the data collected by a permanent working group set up by the lecturer of the Sociology-Philosophy Department at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Mr. Aleksander Kocani. The conclusions of the survey carried out by this working group are not only now public to the public, but have also been placed at the center of the media, without even escaping gossip and prejudice. Mr. Ceca, setting aside the technical side of this survey, which is less debated, but at the same time a realization of this kind gave this interview for RD. - What do you know as a specialist about surveys in general and specifically about those carried out by Mr. Kocani and his group? - Put very simply and in very general terms, statistics has to do with the handling of a set of data. As such, a survey, for whatever problem it may concern, having its own key stages in information processing, belongs to the work of the statistician. As for the survey in question, it is the first time I have worked with this working group, but it is not the first time I have contacted lecturers from this Faculty. What has characterized this collaboration is simply the professional side and the entirely scientific criteria with which the work was carried out. On the other hand, through more personal experience with the arrival and bringing of information in several rural areas, I can say that I was fortunate to be part of the group that made it possible to obtain the information. We have done a truly scientific piece of work. - This survey has been called a “ghost.” What was your comment? - (Smiles) Mathematics is an exact science and I have devoted myself to my profession. I do not believe there is room for ghosts in science, let alone for a researcher to devote himself to such things. In fact anyone who meets Kliti Ceca will notice his great concern for science and his preoccupation with carrying out scientific projects. The noise of politics has remained far from him, all the more so the noise of the press, which is proof of the greater reliability of this survey. Prepared by: ILIRIANA ABAJO

Panic in the ranks of the PS

After the results of the survey Panic in the ranks of the PS Ruçi threatens to fire the journalists of “ZP” An emergency meeting of the small leadership of the PS and of the leadership of Ruci to fire several journalists of “ZP” are the latest reactions of the PS after the announcement of the poll results, which showed a new victory for the right-wing forces in Albania. The deputy chairman of the PS, headed by Ruçi as well, have gathered in the presence of several other people, precisely to decide how they will react to this survey, which of course could not be ignored since it was carried out by specialists. Dokle has not been concerned about the results and the truth they reveal, nor has Ruçi. Their concern has been how to eliminate the credibility of this survey. Meanwhile it was Ruçi himself who still in the leadership had ordered the journalists of “ZP” to urgently set out to uncover “some trick” in this survey. “By any means it must be proved that that survey is not standing” — the Secretary General of the PS ordered by telephone from his office before hanging up on the people around him. Pelumbi, who does not know that the initiative of Ruçi had been proposed, there is no need to comment on this survey, supported also by other deputy chairmen of the PS, but Ruçi’s orders for “ZP” were clear: it had to be proven that no such survey had been conducted, otherwise not only would the fraud of the surveys devised in the PS headquarters come to light, but it would also damage the already conscious belief that there will be no change in the country’s governance after '96 as regards the political blocs. Thus Ruçi and company would find it harder to create tension and artificial clashes among people or to create the impression that the opposition people are gathered to show their “love” for the PS. But Ruçi will remain disappointed by the journalists of “ZP”. Apart from the threats against the authors of yesterday’s poll, Ruçi had not managed to carry out any of the assigned tasks. Unaware, Ruçi preferred to blame the journalists for this, and he even threatened to have them fired. “They are not even fit to be secretaries,” Secretary Ruçi said of them. However, it is not the fault of the activists of “ZP” if the survey is real and conducted by specialists. Ruçi would be well advised to look for the fault in himself and in the others who make PS politics today. N.D

Berisha received Minister Kovalov

President Berisha praised the recently signed relations between the two interior ministers for establishing, on a legal basis, the relations between our two countries, contributing to the strengthening of friendship and cooperation between our two peoples. President Berisha asked Minister Kovalov to convey his best wishes to President Yeltsin for a speedy recovery. Minister of Justice Kovalov expressed his satisfaction at the achievement of this agreement, which should encourage cooperation not only between the two relevant ministries, but more broadly as well. Likewise, meetings and agreements at every level give new impetus to cooperation between our two countries. Minister Kovalov congratulated President Berisha on the great and visible changes since his last visit in December '94. He repeated the Russian government's invitation for an early visit by President Berisha to Moscow. Press and Information Office at the President's Office

The names of noble people like Manol Konomi cannot be tarnished by “ZP”

The names of noble people like Manol Konomi cannot be tarnished by “ZP” "I cannot give a valuation of the anti-genocide law," has said the well-known jurist Manol Konomi, withdrawing from the judging panel that was to evaluate the constitutionality of this law, approved by Parliament. The respected Konomi recalled that he had once been Minister of Justice and for that reason he considered it appropriate not to give assessments of this law. A truly noble gesture by a man who in 1951 had the courage to slap the dictatorship in the face with his honesty. As Minister of Justice until 1951, Manol Konomi refused to sign the death sentences of the innocent, accused of placing a bomb in the Soviet Embassy. However, it is precisely this symbol of honor and courage who today makes a truly noble act, indirectly accusing those who still have their hands stained with blood and who every day continue to defend genocide. Manol Konomi is of course not included in the anti-genocide law, just as other Albanian personalities who knew how to stand up to the dictatorship, regardless of the posts they held, are not included. The clause of the law that excludes those who, of their own volition, left the positions they held, has in mind honest people such as Manol Konomi; nevertheless, he is once again carrying out a noble act against the perpetrators of genocide. Meanwhile, the charlatans of “ZP” seek to speculate on this act by presenting it as a protest against the anti-genocide law. Not the militants of “ZP”, the act of Manol Konomi is an accusation and a protest against you and your bosses, who not only did not think of resigning when they became the authors of crimes, but today also have the shamelessness to continue defending genocide. So do not soil the name of honest people like Manol Konomi and speak calmly! EDI PALOKA

The results correspond to reality

The publication of these serious polls, which place PDSH at the head of the political parties that will compete in the upcoming elections, with 53% of Albanian votes, is a challenge to the politics of return and to politicians without moral right, who wave their cloaks like unworthy apostles. The results correspond to reality LUKAGJ HATA How much, in a crisis of howling, can we be made to understand through the lenses of the school of crime, if the symbol of the persecutors, of the experimenters, of the political experiment (whole) of the Marxist laboratory of Albania, is an unforgivable misfortune. Within this laboratory, the infamous former chief of the Kuk Ruci, but the dirty labors of yesterday were recently elevated to the status of an agenda of PS motives, an analafish joke that fills our mind and that pseudo-names fabricated over the years of the laboratory are a reality that should be taken seriously by the grandmother of Albania, who has no doubt that the name of the school of "escalated socialism" is Albanian. Meanwhile, outside political matters, groups of various people, who calm the economic and psychological hardships of politics, have made clear that the publication of yesterday of the alphabet, of villages and of the roads, and of the slop is filled to the brim by the black-ink press known as "ZP"... The publication of these serious polls, which place PDSH at the head of the political parties that will compete in the upcoming elections, with 53% of the votes of Albanians, is a challenge to the politics of return and to politicians without moral right, who wave their cloaks like unworthy apostles. Albanians never clearly distinguish the color of these cloaks; they have seen them emerge like flowers under the black smoke of the destructions, burnings and rapes of the cursed year '91, with the mournful gloom of blood shed at the border, in battle, resulting with chosen leaders, after the masquerades of our writers and April's pain, and what did not appear one beautiful, freshly shaved morning, with a load of democratic hats, with our miserable garlands named "political security of the future" etc., etc. Then, in order to prove that the fairy-tale and lily-white morality, which the wolf may feel for its child under an old nobleman’s curse, is not fanciful, they have proclaimed that the lovely shadow is not for the snow-white socialists, who in the name of flock happiness are ready to swallow skulls, break bones and lay down (On page 2)

International chamber music festival in Tirana

These days at the International Center of Culture the International Festival of Chamber Music is taking place. This festival brings together European chamber-music orchestras from France, Italy, Croatia and the host country Albania, which will be represented by a chamber orchestra by composer Skol Kono, and will conclude with a concert of Albanian music. A central theme is the musical values and contemporary level of the works performed, as well as the high professional mastery of the musicians in performance, with which the capital’s music-loving public is delighted. It also has the special importance of exchanging experiences and interpretive values between the orchestras and musicians of the participating countries; this is also achieved through the discussions held at the Academy of Arts among the participating groups regarding the values and trends of their music. A special merit for the organization of this chamber music festival belongs to composer Skol Kono, president of the chamber music association. He is an assistant professor of music at the Academy of Arts, and a composition student of Cesk Zadeja at the Prague Conservatory. The contribution to the festival’s development through sponsorship comes from the Ministry of Education, the Municipality of Tirana, Soros, and several embassies accredited in Tirana, while in the coming days [??] and domestic institutions have been welcomed.
