The elections were dictated by the PS gangs
Fatos Nano identifies himself as the head of terrorists. The PS leader tells the Greek press that the gangs of the South have promised him they will surrender their weapons after his party’s victory
The communist exploits criminal metals
Before the electoral bombings and before the next round of propaganda, the criminal mask of the Socialist leadership itself once again came to the surface. After closing the illegal operation of electoral manipulation through his own commissioners, the chief socialist Fatos Nano turned to the Greek newspaper “Vradini”, where he made the most irresponsible accusations against President Berisha for creating a situation of terror in the country through the “gangs of the South”, a situation that benefited only the opposition and not the Socialists. In an interview typical of a communist leader, in the Enverist style, the PS leader evades the essence of the Albanian crisis as a crisis caused by the Socialist Party with the weapons accumulated during its time in government, but instead analyzes the entire Albanian situation through the lens of communist terror behind the scenes. As a result, he tells the Greek newspaper that “he hopes the gangs will surrender their weapons after a Socialist victory, because they will understand that Berisha has lost.”
Nano declared in the most anarchic way possible for a party leader that “the Albanian crisis can be resolved only by the removal of Berisha and his entire administration.” The foreign press is laughing at the chief socialist’s madness, who considers not only Mr. Berisha but every Albanian state official to be “enemies”, since he clearly does not recognize our country as a state that has an administration and would replace it with Gjinushi’s gang. Nano considers Albanian representation created in the relevant administration to be terrorized, excluding the gangs and the freedom of anyone who does not obey communist terror.
Today he spoke as he has always thought, that “the Albanian crisis will end only with Berisha’s departure,” behaving not as an opposition leader, but as a member of the PPSH leadership. Sali Berisha has been and remains the only person for whom he still harbors communist resentment, and by labeling him as the head of criminal gangs he also assigns him the real functions of the head of his own commissions.
Nano did not dare to step out for even a second before international opinion to denounce the terror in the south, since he told the Greek newspaper that “the Socialists cannot control the armed gangs,” which is obvious for a political force that achieves its electoral victory through civil war. It seemed that this old statement by the chief socialist was emerging at this moment, while also arguing that these are the same gangs that burned hundreds of polling stations and terrorized the entire south of the country to death. Nano considers it necessary to remove Berisha’s people from the administration, just as the entire communist opposition in February 1997 demanded through organized crime not only the government, but also the administration of the Albanian state.
This ridiculous statement by the chief socialist is entirely aimed at preventing a serious analysis of Socialist terror over the 29 June elections. The future government will certainly settle accounts with all the centers of terror that destroyed Albania and its sovereignty during these months. Nano is still playing the old game of slander against Berisha, thinking that he is avoiding the main problem of the Albanian catastrophe. In all his statements to the foreign press, he speaks about the administration, not knowing that the functions of the administration are independent and that the Albanian political structure does not recognize the party-state. Although the entire independent media has repeatedly used this term in reference to the Socialists, they are now failing to understand the real cause of the collapse of their state.
Nano also spoke to the newspaper “Vradini” about the elections as “a Socialist victory,” without taking into account the atmosphere in which they were held. He declared that “the victory was not linked to the commissioners,” spectacularly showing the truth that voting and ballot flows have disappeared in Albania. From the Greek press’s point of view, this statement may be understood as a ridiculous claim by the Socialist leader, but it is not as ridiculous as it seems from the manipulation room into which he is leading the country.
If we answer the question of why all this electoral terror is so closely tied to Mr. Berisha’s departure, there is only one answer: the Socialists cannot manage to control the Albanian state and society without destroying the administration of pluralism. Bearing in mind that the PS administration was corrupt and failed in the most classic postwar way with regard to respect for freedoms and private property, it becomes clear that Albania is still in agony in the face of communist gangsterism.
