A bunch of spies from the PS are published in the RD newspaper only because their names were published. Meanwhile, the President of the Democratic Party, Nëntan Ceka, noted the threats that will be made against Albanian journalists on May 27: all the threats will send you to prison, he told journalists at yesterday’s press conference, which he also gave with the Political Center. Ceka did not fail to show his gratitude toward the imprisoned journalists, to whom his people, naturally Çopi, Zogaj, Peshkëpja, Yllaj Teta, etc., would send a pack of cigarettes each to express their goodwill, so that in the future they would meet all the conditions for going to prison. Prepared to be a spy, he encountered the great lack of a nickname, and a journalist seeks to expose the wrongdoing of the authorities that do not blame him as well. Indeed, he is nevertheless determined to defend the disgraced members of his party and is even ready to declare himself a spy voluntarily. Regardless of Ceka’s shortcomings, his threat that journalists will go to prison whenever [unclear] is neither accidental nor a natural consequence, while his people will become organs. The man summoned to Ramiz Alia’s office to betray anti-communism and destroy the democratic movement in Albania is [unclear] of great political [unclear]. He is an addition to Kastriot Isai, who uses May 27 as the day of the Albanian [unclear], along with Mojkom Zego’s constant threats against Albanian intellectuals. What will happen to Ceka when he does not win a single [seat] on May 27, not even in those areas that the PS has given him? What will this man do when the prisons are left without journalists and will also be [unclear] and quiet in the evenings? Where will he take the cigarettes? What will he do as a candidate for deputy for Elbasan when even the elephants will tell him that he is a belated lesson? Nëntan Ceka has one option. Even though he has not been declared a spy, as the candidate for deputy for Elbasan, the people of Elbasan will tell him that he is a belated [unclear] too. Nertan Çeka has one option. Even though nobody has declared him a spy, nobody will call him one—not even his brother?—[unclear], the party door [unclear] by spies, and he himself can take the bright road home or to a friend’s place, where he can still enjoy himself, somewhat easily, without being transported to Germany. He can talk about a newspaper sent by the embassy of the former Yugoslavia in Tirana, very close to the newspaper filled by Serbs, “Rilindja,” [unclear], and ask them to forgive him for the absence of his victims. He will remain indebted to the Albanians and Albania, because he has time to eat Ceka’s grass too? If he wants, let him show a pane of glass or steal with his eyes? [unclear] to go to prison too, if he does not reveal some scandal that is not clean even there. Journalists have one more option: not to listen to Ceka and his victims, who are the remnants of communism divided into three heads, the ideology on the right, and who can then use the cigarettes for something. They are [unclear] of Ceka’s materiality, to erase every [unclear]? He does not have the punishment of a man who has been [unclear] to leave the field where the clown is playing. Just as he has known how to insult? their defeat with the dignity of? communism, former spies, the accusations of one and those of the old ones. However much the past’s teeth prevail over the Albanian press and journalists, whether from the PS, the PAD, or another red zone in Albanian politics, the more the Albanian press will be able to convey and denounce them to the end—the colors of the warm elbow? [unclear] and Albanian journalists have been covered to make them defenders, and the efforts of communism have also been covered up along with the period and its consequences. The free press is in the hands of neither politics nor the front. It is free.

The leaders of the Political Center clash with journalists The man who bore Hitler’s name until after the Second World War wants to resemble him The leaders of the Political Center clash with journalists Ceka: “We’ll put you in prison” The man who bore Hitler’s name until after the Second World War wants to resemble him The press conference held yesterday by Gjinushi and Ceka on behalf of the Political Center, on the occasion of the disclosure of the eight PSD spies, turned into a real “brawl” with journalists. Almost all the journalists who stood up to ask questions heard nothing but insults and threats from Hitler Ceka. The high point came when, for the umpteenth time, Ceka publicly threatened that after he came to power, “RD” journalists would end up in prison. The “astute” Ceka even made a joke, telling the deputy editor-in-chief of “RD” that he would send him cigarettes after they had put him in prison.

-“I have no intention of pointlessly wandering around the offices of the Court of Cassation” -Only a few days earlier, he had publicly called for “his file to be opened” What was expected happened: the current number one of the PS, Servet Pëllumbi, publicly declared yesterday through the newspaper “ZP” that he has no intention of appearing before the Court of Cassation to obtain confirmation of his “deeds” in collaboration with the former State Security service. Only a few days earlier, at a press conference, he had announced that he was ready to open his file. Bearing this in mind, “RD” suggested to Pëllumbi the legal route and procedures to follow if he really wanted to open his file, but Pëllumbi’s response was immediate and negative. of the Court of Cassation,” the PS vice-chairman told “ZP,” as the course of events gives the impression that someone has led him into this [trap]—surrendering definitively in the face of the facts. If Pëllumbi “did not trust” the competent bodies, why did he publicly call for his file to be opened? What stands out in Pëllumbi’s case is “ZP”’s insistence on discrediting him. Immediately after “RD”’s suggestion, “ZP”’s journalists put their vice-chairman in front of a microphone and then published his statement on the front page, in the most prominent position, a declaration that discredits him completely, giving it the ridiculous headline “Nothing can shake our belief in victory.” The course of events gives the impression that someone lured Servet Pëllumbi into a trap from the very beginning. The press conference, the public request to open his file, and then the defeatist retreat appear to have been orchestrated at the suggestion of someone seeking Pëllumbi’s complete elimination. In practice, Pëllumbi has been eliminated; he has been burned in front of everyone. Pëllumbi thought he would get across the river with his demagogic statement that he was ready to open his file, but he did not think he would actually be asked to open it, and so he fell into the trap his “friends” had prepared for him.
