The real opposition will be absent from the gunfire-filled celebration of the bloodiest parliament in the world Today Albanians will see the first head of the Albanian state, who will then sit in the seat of honor in parliament beside the one called prime minister, while guards and some of the most dangerous bandits stand near both of them. Imagine the chamber of parliament even without the deputies listed in criminal records and convicted of extortion and kidnapping, of murder and robbery; from today our parliament is a caricature of democracy with weapons. The accusations with which foreign banks now describe Albanians as a risk to investments are perhaps no less unbelievable than this very image of today’s parliament. For the first time in our modern history we have a political representation elected under the threat of weapons, under the authority of local gangs and in a climate where the state has been unable even to protect the vote or ensure order. If the representatives of the real opposition will not be there today, that is not because they are absent from the country, but because the current political process has pushed them out of play. Instead of a parliament that would serve national reconciliation, the country is entering a chamber where shots will echo more than reason. And this is the worst news that can be given to a people exhausted by months of violence and insecurity. The new parliament votes unanimously for the "Nano 3" government
