Albanians celebrate the great feast of Independence and the country’s Liberation At the Flag Square: “We want ours back”, “you drowned our people at sea”. Italian television channels expose Teloizotit t’ Nano PP: We do not celebrate with those who desecrated the Flag Square The Democratic Party celebrates and is ready to celebrate in Vlorë. The Serb trumpet is sounded in Vlorë by the socialists Vlorë and Tamur Pesku boo the government officials and present the grand spectacle of the 85th anniversary of the raising of the flag of Skamarrës. Everywhere in the state of Ila-Vlorë there were socialist officials who arrived there with those to say that it was more than enough, that it was all too much. They managed to desecrate the commemoration of Independence in the most barbaric way, with gatherings, celebrations, killings and crime. Arian Agalliu and a group of young sympathizers led by the forces near PSM responded fiercely with “We want ours back”, “you drowned our people at sea”, “we want our money back” and more. Later, as soon as Nano and the government left, the celebrations began again with dances and songs for Vlorë, which were interrupted the moment the former Interior Minister Shaqir Vukaj returned to the podium. This interruption was not the only sign of the anger of the people of Vlorë toward Nano and his government. Throughout the ceremony, they greeted the officials with whistles and cries of “Down with Nano”, “Down with Socialism”, “Down with the government”. Is the other independence party being altered? On the day of the celebration in Vlorë, the Democratic members of the municipality of Vlorë, the legal team of the PD, refused the government’s invitation to celebrate in Vlorë. The Serb trumpet from the socialists abandoned in Vlorë, were more abandoned than ever by the nation and the Albanian world Berta of “Rilindja së...” [?] Democrats inside Vlorë, of the Democratic Party, pay homage at the Cemetery of the Nation’s Martyrs. PP: We do not celebrate with those who desecrated the Flag Square The Albanians of Vlorë must celebrate the date of the proclamation of the national flag and the independence of the country in a celebration with foundation and hundreds of others, with the solemnity and brilliance of the past victories of Vlorë and all Albanians. Upset by the official celebrations and the distorted festivities of the local authorities and the government, the majority of the people of Vlorë decided not to take part in the official activities organized today on the occasion of 28 November. The Democratic Party branch and the Vlorë Municipal Council refused to take part in the official ceremonies, which were attended by Prime Minister Nano and Assembly leader Gjinushi. Well-known figures of the Albanian intellectual and political elite were also absent, while the central rally began with a poor turnout. “In no case can we celebrate in front of the Monument of Independence, where eight months ago the socialists turned the square into a battlefield and the Kosovo war, blown up along with the symbol of Vlorë,” declared representatives of the PD branch in Vlorë, adding that they would commemorate the proclamation of Independence in a separate gathering. Italian television channels expose Teloizotit t’ Nano Along with the national celebration ceremonies, a long report on the Otranto tragedy and the efforts of Nano’s government to manipulate responsibility was shown last night and today on Italian television screens. The television footage showed episodes from the event, testimony from survivors, and direct accusations against Albanian and Italian authorities. According to the report, the Albanian government’s theory of an “accident” clashes with the facts presented, while the victims’ relatives are still seeking justice. The patriots and the branch of the Democratic Party in the Democratic Party paid homage at the Cemetery of the Nation’s Martyrs
