New political developments on the eve of the elections An unprecedented case: the country's leadership discriminates against the public. A leadership shrouded in fog is afraid of public discussion. TVSH erases and reforms the last fabric of pluralist debate. It ignores the field of parties that are truly needed. The crisis of the fool and the pigeon? Altin. Mulo. Luan Shefqet Pëllumbi and Gjushul. The socialists' attacks continue to be low against the spokesperson of the PDSH leadership, Alfred Lela[?], who publicly denounced the lack of open political debate on Albanian television. With uncontrolled and open nervousness, against Lela's[?] denunciation, which was based on figures and arguments that cannot be rationally disputed, reacted the editor of Albanian state television, Gjelil Gjoncaj[?], who deals with covering party activities. In an exchange unworthy of a journalist, he tried to reduce public debate to a small trinket, characterizing the democratic spokesperson's denunciation as a personal attack on him. Hiding behind taboo, in the power-holding form of "ZP" and despair bordering on masochism in defense of RTSH—a sickness from which the gentleman in question seems not to exclude himself even in the way he writes—cannot erase the fact that the PS and the social-democratic PDS are still under the fever of rejecting television debate. This refusal by the socialist leader and the PSD has now become a public concern and is turning into a kind of scandal of the times. The "case" is turning into a characteristic record.

Spas Bujumi for the elections of 26 May, the coming ally of the socialists—Vlas Xhixha, Teco[?], from generosity, the current TGS[?], in the unpaid tricks of TVSHA[?], a final annexation is flourishing. Bujumi tells us about the PROCES scheme on the new roads for 250 thousand dollars allocated for their propaganda mission for the walls of the nation. E.B
