A major objective of the Democratic Party is achieved 16% growth of the Albanian economy Annual report of the UN Economic Commission for Europe Major achievement for Albania Albania records the highest growth among the countries of Eastern Europe. It has a 16 percent growth in the national economy during 1995. The figure exceeds the already high growth of 1994 by one percentage point. The UN has published a report on the economic development trends of the countries of Eastern Europe. According to this report, Albania had the highest economic growth in 1995 among the countries of Eastern Europe and the transition economies. Albania closed 1995 with economic growth of 16 percent, while the country in second place is Poland with 7 percent. According to this important assessment, which was made entirely by independent economists and specialists, without any influence from the Albanian government or other Albanian institutions, the Albanian economy recorded 16 percent growth during 1995. This is the highest growth not only in the countries of Eastern Europe, but also in other transition countries. Naturally, within the framework of this assessment, the Albanian government was ranked ahead of much more developed countries than itself. According to the report, the fundamental indicators of economic development were taken into account. During 1995, a 13 percent increase was recorded in total domestic production, but this growth must also be viewed together with other indicators, such as the growth of investment and exports. All these indicators were calculated in terms of economic development and in comparison with 1994 and the 1989 level. As can also be seen from the table published on page 4, Albania ranks first among the former socialist countries. With economic growth of 16 percent, it also leaves behind countries with a long economic history such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. This is a major event not only for the Albanian economy, but also for the country’s authority on the international stage. The economic indicators published in this report show that unemployment has also fallen in Albania and the level of consumption has increased. These figures constitute a strong argument for the continuation of economic reforms and for support for the policies of the democratic government.

According to “Tnumbyfoter Allgemeine” Albania recorded the largest economic growth among former communist countries, with 16 percent in 1995. The old world of top-down commands, control and collective poverty is being replaced by the market economy and political pluralism. This new atmosphere is also accompanied by the strengthening of the positions of the Democratic Party and President Berisha. An analysis published in the Western press notes that developments in Albania are moving at a rapid pace and that the upcoming elections will be a decisive test for the left-wing opposition. According to the newspaper’s assessments, the Democratic Party has increased its influence in public opinion and is entering the electoral campaign with a positive balance in the economy and public order. The article also notes that the consolidation of democratic institutions and the country’s opening to Europe are creating a new political reality in Albania.

Dokte denounces the PS: does not reveal their names above all of the PS candidates suspicion falls

A new column in our newspaper The newspaper “Rilindja Demokratike”, since one of its duties is to convey and amplify all the concerns and problems of political life, has decided, in order to better and more clearly identify the problems and what is happening, to publish the new column “Spies in Albania”. This column will publish the names of all those involved in arms and drug trafficking, “spies”, bandits and any kind of criminal activity. This column will publish the names of all those who, caught as “spies” at a young age, continue today to serve the left-wing parties and other anti-national and anti-democratic structures. Likewise, this column will include those who have stained their hands with the blood of innocent Albanians killed for political motives, as well as those who have enriched themselves by robbing the Albanian people. This column will also publish how and where people who once were connected to the former State Security or the old nomenklatura became owners, how they live and what they do today. If you have knowledge of such names, please send them to us. Our newspaper will publish them and will follow up with full responsibility on all information that comes from readers.

Today at the Tirana Court On 16 and 24 April, the trial of former senior officials of the PPSH, accused of crimes against humanity and corruption, will take place at the Tirana Court. This is a process of particular political and social interest and is being closely watched by the public and by the relatives of the victims of the communist regime.

In the assessment made, received from the Islamic Commission, responsibility has been marked as merit, which speaks of the poor organization of the PS. So all the lies of a figure with ambitions in France have ended up in yet another stance-move? of the former communist secret positions and has brought out ample information to the detriment of his comrades.

President Berisha honored Anastas and the Orthodox faithful for Easter The last five years constitute a period of turning point, reforms and visible achievements for Albania and Albanians. The old world of economic crises, the destruction of institutions and spiritual regression has given way to a completely new world of economic development, reconstruction of state institutions and the revival of the nation’s faith and spiritual values. The article on page 5 is entirely devoted to one of these values, the revival of faith in God. In this unsigned piece, titled “Why did Mr. Berisha make the sign of the cross?”, published in The New York Times, we find a metaphorical image of the man who is reviving Albania, but it is even more interesting to read the article not only as an American newspaper’s approach to President Berisha’s personality, but also as an outline of the path Albania has taken over the last five years. Albania had no religious institutions before 1991. Churches, mosques, tekke lodges and shrines had been closed and destroyed. People had become accustomed to living without faith in God. The choice of Marxist-Leninist doctrine as the country’s official religion was the violent right of the communists to destroy man spiritually and morally. If this destruction had been only spiritual, it would have had far fewer consequences, but in fact spiritual destruction had another effect, perhaps even more important: the atrophying of the nation’s moral values. Pushed to the extreme, this led to a lack of human solidarity, a loss of social responsibility, and an inability to respect and protect the property of others. Therefore, the spiritual revival of Albania and Albanians after 1991, placing man before God, was an essential condition for the moral and material revival of the country.
