E MERKURE 17 maj 1995

Let us confront the danger of left-wing politicization

LEKA TOTO, member of the PSH leadership, deputy "...The stage of realization, classically, the framework will be clear and spiritual. The revolution will even be complete; there will be flames and we will burn like in the evening at the gates. Corvi, 1984" In the current situation, Albanian society faces a twofold danger with serious consequences for the future. One is spectacle politics, which has generated a lukewarm and distrustful public opinion, creating the same mentality and the same psychology of submission as in the past. This has been expressed so far in the indifference shown toward democratic processes. The phenomenon has been evident in all the big and small movements in our country, but, regrettably, it has been especially marked among the right-wing electorate and among citizens who have actively invested in democratic processes. On the other hand, we are dealing with extremist and demagogic politics, which is feeding on and exploiting an artificially tense climate in order to gain and preserve political capital. This is a politics that places its hopes in nostalgia, primitive emotions, and a lack of civic maturity. This danger is great because its direct target is the democratic state and its institutions. It appears not only in violent rhetoric, but also in attempts to present pluralism as a source of chaos and to revive old models of rule. In this sense, political struggle cannot be conceived as class struggle, nor as the division of society into hostile camps. Albania does not need a return to the past, but consolidation of reforms, democratic culture, and institutional responsibility. Therefore, it is the duty of political forces and of public opinion not to fall prey to manipulation. Instead of the language of hatred, civil debate must prevail; instead of pressure, there must be fair competition; and instead of political mythologies, democratic realism must be supported. Only in this way can the danger of left-wing politicization that seeks to usurp public space and distort the meaning of the Albanian transition be averted. (Continues on page 3)

PS self-poll cannot protect or even slow the crisis of its inevitable disintegration

Deputy-fun, salam, scoundrel...

Through the spaces of political thought in the parliament of the state SAIT MILLOSHI The latest agreement regarding the solution of the property issue in Albania is taking on new dimensions of prolongation over time. And while the PS and especially its parliamentary group are presenting it as a "new road" for solving old "claims," in essence we are dealing with an attempt to relativize property rights and to lead the debate into a political dead end. For some time now, this party has made the government and the parliamentary majority the target of its criticism, trying to present itself as the defender of the public interest. In fact, its approach is a mix of populism and nostalgia for state control. In debates, its deputies use a language that belongs more to rally platforms than to the Assembly hall. Exaggerated rhetoric, labels, and personal attacks serve neither argument nor civic responsibility. That is why public opinion views with serious doubt the seriousness of the alternative they offer. Democracy is strengthened not by jokes, but by ideas, by programs, and by respect for the institution.

Albanian justice will melt the cauldron of left-wing corruption and the left-wing extremism of the left

Promotional analysis of reform and democratic processes Abitë i PEP, Dibasan, asks the Secretary General of the P[?] Party, Servet Pëllumbi[?] The political activity of the Albanian left has entered a new phase, where the clash between declared reformism and old practice is becoming increasingly visible. While the public speaks of modernization and integration, deep down there are clear signs of behavior inherited from the era of ideological centralization. This contradiction creates uncertainty and feeds the suspicion that behind the fine words lies a project to restore old influences. Albanian citizens have shown that they are committed to the path of pluralism and that they no longer accept going back. Political corruption, clientelist ties, and attempts to impose on public opinion a distorted reading of reality cannot be an alternative for a country aiming for European integration.

Kurti and the black saucepan

S. SALA In today's newspaper, the first article, titled "Nothing important is happening," stands out for the way it presents a state of lack of alternatives and public fatigue. The text uses the image of the "black saucepan" as a symbol of a politics that makes a lot of noise but cannot produce real solutions. Through irony and satire, the author attacks several stereotypes of Albanian political behavior: endless complaining, staged victimhood, and the tendency to raise alibis instead of taking responsibility. On the social level, the article points out that the ordinary citizen is no longer fed on slogans. He demands results, institutions that function, and equal standards. When these are lacking, disappointment turns into cynicism, and cynicism into withdrawal from public life. That is precisely where the greatest danger for Albanian democracy lies.

400 million dollars saved for the Albanian economy

the press pays the finances of a country of controls and collaborators - (Bledi KASMI) Public opinion has already been informed about a new publication of EC aid for Albania, which is being substituted both by the government and by the other means of information. This publication discusses the new payment scheme and the significant savings it creates for the Albanian economy. According to the data, this method avoids major losses and reduces unnecessary administrative costs. The latest scandal involving payments of the buit[?] and the propaganda of the Ministry of Finance[?] forces public opinion to ask about the way funds are used and about the transparency of the procedures. Referring to the experience of other countries and the support of international partners, analysts stress that the savings for the Albanian economy could reach very high figures.
