How many ministers, deputy ministers, ambassadors, police chiefs have been spies for the State Security? Nano has not signed the vetting of the new socialist officials' profiles The head of the Vetting of Profiles denounces high-ranking state officials The Socialist Party brings back Enver Hoxha's clock The Albanian parliament yesterday approved the return to the dictator Hoxha's islands, while setting the change of the liberation date from 28 November to 29 November. This inversion imposed on Albanian history is the result of the entire historical inversion that has fallen upon Albania since March of this year, when the communist uprising began, up to the latest decision, which punishes history and opens the way for writing it according to Marxist methodology and its ideological function. People who entered Parliament according to the principles of partisan warfare would naturally return to the sentiments of dictatorship, to the falsification of facts and dates, to the ideological shaping of holidays. It has already been historically argued that 29 November was not the date of Albania's liberation but simply the ideological date of a myth, closely tied to the internationalist principles of Hoxha's regime and the sense of vassalage toward the communist leaders of Yugoslavia. But today, inside the premises of the Albanian Parliament, it is not shameful to feel nostalgia for the dictator and the dictatorship, just as it is not shameful to call again the history written by him in the service of further historical falsification. Ultimately, the burning of the Kalashnikovs of the Vietnamese brothers in the office to turn the country pink again. Despite historical realities, yesterday the country was returned in one of its dimensions to the year 1945, erasing all historical objectivity in an ideological subjectivism. The Parliamentary Group of the Socialist Party, with ignorant mischief, untethered from Albanian history so as to despise it even more, to subjugate it, to use it, to slaughter it, and to pass it into their partisan conscience. No one can blame Dritëro Agolli, Memo Komsiku, for his interference, but no one has the right to steal from all those people who have not passed through the vapors of alcohol under their nationalist boots and nations, who have not dissolved the blood of the martyrs of their counterparts and Dritëro's chiefs into fat. The same can be said of another socialist tracker, who for years has drunk alcohol and researched in the laboratories of the Faculty of Natural Sciences, like Leka Gjinari, while two émigrés like Mumfi also argued for changing the date of liberation. The irresponsibility of this man and of the more than 120 deputies who falsified what the Albanian Parliament has is a permanent danger for what has gone and what has not yet come; it is a danger for extending falsification even to the very existence of the Albanian state. Yesterday's event is a major overturning: the star can also be brought back onto the Albanian flag, the dictator's birthplace can be declared an official holiday, the port of the sentiments and idols that seemed so disrespectful to the country and until today? Man, The change made to the liberation date, in 1993, was part of a revision that was made to Albanian history as a whole, so badly falsified by the pseudo-historians of the dictatorship. That meaning was conventional and, apart from the contents of the library, had no partial political element, only elements of the restoration of the national clerical spirit.

What television is doing today is a crime that risks pushing Albania toward civil war, because this country is losing its integrity, which cannot be understood without the weight and voice of the opposition Where is Nano's information terror taking us? What television is doing today is a crime that risks pushing Albania toward civil war, because this country is losing its integrity, which cannot be understood without the weight and voice of the opposition Albanian Television is the place, at the forefront of a fierce revenge against the opposition and free and alternative thought, mocking and carrying out a separation death of tensions with extremely serious consequences for the fate of democracy in Albania. It took two blows from the chairman of the Democratic Party for the power installed by Nano to be dismantled, and at least formally to guarantee the possibility of showing opposition opinion on the only state television, which rises from the money of Albanians. The mandate of Europe, dead very near death in its sublime sacrifice, caused informational terror on the small screen, chosen as one of the methods of the Nano regime to bring out the public opinion of Albanians. But the approval of the Arbnori amendment, which was called a historic victory of the opposition, did not at all solve the problem of relations between the opposition and the alternative environment and the institution directed by Nano's people, ardi Mazi, Fatos Nano's functionary in Albanian Television. He is clear on the matter of fertility of the agreement of the parties, in April two days, and he said he could have given the place so that these members of Parliament from the Democratic Party could be interrupted, while the viewers were repopulating the Albanian public with frightening progression. The man who had just gone to his office set in motion the opening of control violence, or otherwise censorship, which is the greatest kind of historical lie of this institution, declared last night that he does not receive orders from the party, but will apply this law. This denounces free thought in such a way that all Albanians who wait to watch the truth on screen, what is happening in Albania, having before them both sides, both the government and the opposition. If there is a man in Albania who should not be in such a law, it is precisely Eduard Mazi, who, because he has trampled upon atoms with his feet, has twice forced opposition deputies in school up to the sacrifice in the attacks to put an end to the internifor- m that the legitimate power of Nano Demokrat and PD Eduard Mazi still threatened the Albanian society. What television is doing today is a crime that risks pushing Albania toward civil war, because this country is losing its integrity, which cannot be un- derstood without the weight and voice of the opposition.
