EC: Nano government under investigation

Foreign analysts: Developments in Albania, a coordinated response between far-left political groups and mafia groups as well as the state Cirkulimi of the PS; some withdrawals of Nano again in prison Crimes were not committed by us, the crimes were committed by the criminals! Nano has done it, declare Linoj? and Fatos’s little colleagues The media in the Strasbourg trial Albania was a ray of hope for Albanians. What incrimination of the PS some living ones declare By F. M. V. Albania was rapidly entering the path of reforms, democratic statehood and a market economy through the implementation of agreements signed with international institutions and the strengthening of law and public order. The country’s political and social stability and the strengthening of state authority were reflected in increased foreign investment and the creation of a calmer climate for business development. After these positive developments, in May of this year, Albania turned into a country of chaos. Against the backdrop of this turmoil, foreign analysts see a coordinated response between far-left political groups and mafia groups. In a piece published by “The Sunday Times”, and in other foreign reports, events in Albania are presented as the result of an organized political and criminal action. According to the analysis, the pyramid schemes served as a pretext for the outbreak of a crisis that led to the collapse of state authority, the arming of the population, and the creation of an atmosphere of insecurity. The analysts note that state structures were systematically targeted, while the then PD government faced a violent wave of destabilization. According to them, this was not merely a spontaneous revolt, but part of a broader project to seize power outside the institutions. In these circumstances, the return of the Socialists to government with Fatos Nano at the helm is viewed with great suspicion. The article underlines that the Nano government is under close observation and investigation by international circles for possible links to the developments of the violent spring. The article continues by mentioning the role of foreign media and the interest of European institutions in the situation in Albania, as well as the need for those responsible for the chaos, murders, destruction, and robberies to be brought to justice. The analysis emphasizes that only the restoration of order, the strengthening of the rule of law, and the punishment of the perpetrators of violence can pull the country out of the crisis and give new hope to Albanian citizens.
