The extremists have gone mad The failed slanders of the left only encouraged the growing number of citizens who are calmly withdrawing their money. In the streets of Tirana, as in the days of the communist dictatorship, the newspapers of the left-wing press continue to spread panic about the distribution of capital. As in Durrës yesterday, yesterday morning in the capital there were many people who had gone to the counters to collect their money. There is a queue of citizens of Tirana, led by employees of the administration, who benefit from the excessive noise about the distribution of money. This queue was kept calmly by the citizens and the distribution staff, which proceeded in an orderly manner. Throughout the day the managers of the firms Xhaferri, Populli, Cenaj and Sude stated that the distribution of money to depositors was continuing successfully and without any obstacle, according to the previously announced schedule. Likewise, at the counters of the firm “Populli”, payment of small amounts to citizens also continued. Until the late afternoon hours, bank personnel and the police carried out their duties meticulously to maintain order and avoid any incident. On Friday, further attempts by extremist elements to create panic and incite unrest were observed, but they found no support among the citizens.

As soon as we climbed to the office of this center, we found a very polite person. But, strangely, as a first visitor to the free press, the woman presented as the “director of the cabinet,” along with many others in the relevant offices, seemed shy in telling the truth. She began to explain what her “center” was, boasting that many artists waited for hours to sell their paintings. When asked why their works were not displayed and why their price was not made public, she replied that this was the work of specialists. The conversation also included references to the funds and those making the decisions, but in the end it became clear that transparency remained partial.

A pyramid of greed and stupidity Albanians have no reason to be deceived by the lure of easy money. So why are they tempted? -BY IAN BURREL- The attractive comeback of high-profit lending companies has gained even more credibility because the government has done nothing to stop the harmful financial adventure. They are not unlike the newly named pyramid firms, a panic that arose on Monday. Such companies continue to promise unbelievable profits, while the government handles the situation hesitantly. If we follow their reasoning, everyone should become rich. But that is impossible and the outcome is known: the loss of citizens’ savings. As soon as the trick is over, it works well, the scheme wins, but in reality people lose. Today the government must intervene by making it clear how dangerous these enterprises are.
