Socialist ostriches Yesterday, in the conference of the heads of the parliamentary groups, there was an insistent demand that the session on the motion of no confidence against the government, targeting Prime Minister Meksi, be held. The Democrats did not accept this request, but insisted that the motion session be held against the government. This is because the motion of no confidence against the government is in line with the Constitution and the rules of procedure of the Assembly, whereas a motion against the Prime Minister in particular has no legal or constitutional basis. The leaflets, the shouting, Mallko[?] and the other socialist leaders served to manipulate public opinion and other confused socialists, suggesting that this would be a conflict between an already weakened government on one side and parliament on the other. In reality, it was about toppling the right-wing government through yet another socialist provocation in these troubled days, very similar to the case of Kosovo. The same scene of a press conference by socialist representatives in front of the Assembly, with little funding, at one point scheduled in advance for the vote on a motion against the government, was repeated yesterday. It also preceded yesterday’s parliamentary session. The left’s scenarios had built around this motion a campaign portraying the government as detached from parliament in order to reach the big lie that the right-wing government had fallen. The socialist leaders did not deny that fabricated account by certain public journalists and other newcomers. According to their statements, at that time the PS was being turned into a tool for carrying out the scenario that further insulted and battered it with events. It seems that neither the truth nor the yellow paint on them, swollen like redness, nor the pig’s paint on them, nor the pig’s paint on them, nor the pig’s paint on them, nor the pig’s paint on them. The same sentence was repeated in all the morning newspapers and became the day’s and the news bulletins’ leitmotif. They were used frantically to lie with this substance to the scattered crowds and scenes. In the case of the vote leaflets of recent years in Albania, a refrain was repeated among the same political actors: the government has fallen and the socialists are waiting for “their hour.” All the socialists did not deny that fabricated account by certain journalists and others. According to their statements, at that time the PS was being turned into a tool for carrying out the scenario that further insulted and battered it with events. It seems that neither the truth nor the red paint on them, swollen like redness, nor the pig’s paint on them. Knowing in essence that their vote on the motion would not return the government to parliament, yesterday their improvised move was made in the light of another, previously envisaged action. The PS now has[?] another move in the Assembly, but again does not want to make it with its motion. And this time it seeks to benefit politically from the government that is (again) voted for and considered unquestionable on the eve of a new scenario. In any case, the real object of the motion of the socialists and their allies, according to what is being developed and carried out, is for the government to be overthrown from the pig’s paint on them and the face reddened by the red paint. The PS seems to be moving between this truth and the swelling of the red paint in public. Therefore, in yesterday’s session they demanded by every means that the motion against the Prime Minister be voted on and not the one against the government. This was clear both to the journalists and to the deputies. And with this truth the PS have incited that channel have incited those

PS in a press conference on usury The socialist leaders did not answer a single question from journalists concerning the role of their own offices in creating pyramid schemes. Knowing that their concealment (according to the accounts of two PS victims) was carried out on orders from the anti-usury voice, they instead encouraged them
