Secret police, former Sigurimi, receives secret funding from Belgrade
Objective: to help the victory of the former communists in the spring elections
The well-known Italian weekly “Panorama” reports:
Bread with a castle rampart?! A phrase mentioned by the sharp eyes of Tirana’s pro-communists and their harsh demonic bias. Sari? Yes, yes, with work and with trinkets. The trip is, writes “Panorama”, which speaks of the penetration of an Albanian communist party secret police? According to “Panorama”, 81 percent of the funds of this organization comes and 67 percent is secured from old threads.
But who supplies it with money? At least they say they are foreign and millions. If they were official, they should appear in the party’s balance sheets. But no such document exists. “Panorama’s” suspicions fall on the Serbian secret police and its agents. The Italian newspaper says that this organization also operates in Greece, Macedonia and Italy and maintains links with the Albanian former Sigurimi.
It seeks to control the old security apparatus and its dismantled structures in order to help the left return to power. Panorama writes that special funds have been secured for propaganda, infiltration into the administration, and manipulation of public opinion during the spring campaign.
In this framework, names and suspicious ties to circles in Belgrade are mentioned, which according to the Italian magazine have provided financial and logistical means. According to it, the aim is to destabilize Albanian political life and create an atmosphere of insecurity before the elections.
“Panorama” stresses that the former Albanian communists cannot rely only on domestic sources and are therefore activating old networks of influence. The magazine refers to its own documents and investigative sources.
30.5 percent of preference, have surpassed the spring elections.[?]
14 newspapers have evaded the tax law
Statement by the spokesperson of the Ministry of Finance
Public, we greet you, and in continuation of the misrepresentation by Albanian neo-communists and pseudo-democrats that the Ministry of Finance discriminates against certain press bodies, it is necessary to underline the following.
Regarding the stoppage of the newspaper “Koha Jonë” of 14.02.1996 with the title “Koha Jonë was forced to stop publication because of the bankruptcy of the government”, and in response to the slanders and accusations of Mr. Edi Rama at the press conference of 14 February 1996, the Ministry of Finance clarifies the public as follows:
According to Law no. 7926, dated 20.4.1995 “On taxation”, Article 8, revenues from the periodical press are exempt from turnover tax. This means that the press does not pay turnover tax on the sale of newspapers. But this does not mean that the press is exempt from profit tax, social security contributions, and other payments provided for by law.
In circumstances where a considerable number of newspapers have not respected these legal obligations, the tax administration has taken action to enforce the law. This is not a matter of political discrimination, but of respecting fiscal obligations that apply to everyone.
In this framework, debtor newspapers have been notified according to legal procedures. Failure to pay obligations brings consequences provided by law, including seizure of goods or blocking of activity until the obligations are settled.
The Ministry of Finance reiterates that it will not allow evasion of the law or political pressure on the tax administration.
PS:
In order not to create the impression that these measures were taken only against “Koha Jonë”, we inform you that in 1991 and up to now the fiscal police has taken similar measures also against other newspapers, including “Republika”, “Aleanca”, “Atdheu”, “Rilindja”, “Telegraf”, “Shqip”, “Dita Informacion”, “PDS”, “Bashkimi” and others.[?]
Nikolle Lesi and his newspaper “Koha Jone”
Analysis
EDI VLAHOKA
In 1991, precisely at the time when democracy in our country was being consolidated and developing freely, the old PPSh was creating a new newspaper, “Koha Jonë”. More concretely, the then secretary of PPSh for Tirana, Gafurr Mazreku, when asked by a group of journalists and chief editors why he was encouraging employees of “Zëri i Popullit” and “Bashkimi” to leave their jobs and move to “Koha Jonë”, replied: “We are making a newspaper, and you yourself understand who will be our political ally in the future”.
Thus, both the owner and editor-in-chief of “Koha Jonë”, Nikollë Lesi, as well as his entire staff, are people who came out of the old communist structures and ties. His newspaper was initially presented as independent, but in fact, according to the author, it was put at the service of left-wing forces and groups opposed to democratic reforms.
The article continues by emphasizing that “Koha Jonë” has used slander, media pressure, and distortion of facts as political tools against the government and institutions. According to the author, this newspaper has become a center of attacks against the Democratic Party and a supporter of the left-wing opposition.
Further on, episodes from 1991-1992 are mentioned, ties with former PPSh officials, as well as a role of the newspaper in creating a climate of political tension. The article presents the figure of Nikollë Lesi as closely linked to the political legacy of the former regime.
In conclusion, the author argues that the reader should see “Koha Jonë” not as a free and independent organ, but as an instrument of old political interests that seek to slow down or distort the democratic process in Albania.[?]
