Terrorism does not shake the Democrats’ victory

Everyone with us today at the great rally for the victory of the Democratic Party and its allies The PD National Council sets the milestones for the election campaign of 29 June The PD chooses peace, the extremists choose terror The National Council of the Democratic Party reaffirms the decision to take part in the elections of 29 June. Yesterday the National Council of the Democratic Party decided that it would take part in the parliamentary elections of 29 June. This decision was announced yesterday at a press conference by the spokesperson of the Democratic Party, Ferdinand Poni. The statement says that yesterday’s meeting of the PD National Council discussed the most recent developments in our country during the pre-election period. According to the statement, the council considers the decision to take part in the elections to be an important act in the service of advancing democratic processes and swiftly restoring order and calm. The PD National Council also states that the situation in the country remains highly tense and insecure because of the conditions created by the armed gangs, which, through electoral terror, are trying to hinder the election campaign of the centre-right forces. According to the statement, hundreds and hundreds of people are being discriminated against, threatened and mistreated because of their political beliefs; the homes of right-wingers are being robbed and burned; economic terror is being used; forced gatherings of people are being organized so that they can forcibly express their political orientation. The National Council of the Democratic Party is convinced that this political terror neither shakes nor dims the opposition spirit of Albanians, the spirit of their rebellion and outrage against the falsification of democracy and the return of the country to rule by sticks and police. The council calls on all citizens to join the magnificent rally that will be held today at 6:30 p.m. in Skanderbeg Square, as a manifestation of the imminent victory of the Democratic Party and its allies.

Fino selects the bombs

The government does not meet to examine the attack on President Berisha He has never closed down the government to show that he was building a state. Fino watched the formal recording carried out by the bandits who attacked Berisha. The PD and Albania. The government of the PD and Albania, despite the statements made on the occasion of the failed attack that it would meet to condemn the act, held no meeting of any kind, but regarded the event as an act worthy only of police statistics. It is clear that the concern of Fatos Nano and his executive government of the so-called “National Reconciliation” was not the blow dealt to the head of state, but the interruption of the concert with a cassette tape. For Prime Minister Fino, the life of the President of the Republic is apparently only a damaged cassette, or rather he is treating it as if it were a “thank goodness” that nothing happened to him. It is time for everyone to understand that with such a government there is no security either for the head of state or for the humblest, least supported citizen. ON PAGE 3

The terrorism is buried and subdued by free elections

President Berisha meets Albanian politicians who do not make statements Accusations with accusations, with scenarios linked to the President of the Republic. Sali Berisha. Unfounded and hasty accusations. Astonished people will not understand them. The spokesperson for the president said all these phrases yesterday at a press conference held at the Presidency, in which he condemned the attack on the president and asked Albanian politicians not to make speculation out of this event. According to the president’s spokesperson, these accusations are nothing other than political pressure directed against Mr Berisha. ON PAGE 3

Nano remained on PS posters

Nano remained absent from the campaign, together with their promised revolutionary fist. The PS’s concern, in order to deceive and confuse people in yesterday’s statement by its leadership, was to cement some kind of link. According to this yellow, pseudo-victimizing link, supposedly an attack is being carried out with the Democratic Party at its head and behind it. ON PAGE 3

In a written statement concerning the failed attack on the President, the two leaders of the PDU described the attack as an act of terror. The killing of President Sali Berisha with automatic weapons, as part of the election campaign and the presentation in the city of Elbasan, is an open challenge to the constitutional order.
