The last force of the Kalashnikov parliament. The rulers of crime, trafficking, smuggling, corruption, and trigger-happy rule want the opposition thrown in prison again Final break with the killers in power The last force of the Kalashnikov parliament. The rulers of crime, trafficking, smuggling, corruption, and trigger-happy rule want the opposition thrown in prison again On Thursday, a big rally in “Skënderbej” Square against the criminal government Yesterday, Parliament continued examining the Prosecutor’s request to lift the immunity of MP Azem Hajdari. Opposition MPs were asked to declare whether they renounced their right to speak so as not to take part in the debate. The session chair conducted the assembly arbitrarily, limiting the time for discussion and giving the session a prejudiced political tone. During the session, MP Hajdari declared that this could not be considered a normal parliamentary procedure, since, according to him, the case had been raised on political grounds. He said the majority was using Parliament to criminalize the opposition and strike at its leading figures. In his view, this was an act orchestrated by the government to cover up its failures and scandals. In his speech, it was said that the current government has brought the country to a severe economic, social, and moral condition. Corruption, trafficking, smuggling, and links to crime were mentioned as features of governance. Likewise, the use of violence and state institutions against the opposition and critical media was denounced. At the end of the session, the opposition called for citizen mobilization and a democratic protest. It was announced that on Thursday there would be a large rally in “Skënderbej” Square, as a response to what was described as an attempt to imprison the opposition and establish a repressive regime.

Statement by the Presidency of the Democratic Party The Presidency of the PD suggested that the National Council finally support the contribution of the match and the final arrest in the scales of the prime minister and the face of Albania, hidden by the government of Bashkim Fino. Today, in parliament, the arrest of Azem Hajdari is unacceptable, with his parliamentary immunity being lifted for a fabricated “criminal act.” The Presidency of the PD considers the decision entirely politicized. The Presidency of the PD accuses the government of using state institutions to eliminate the political opposition and establish a repressive regime. According to it, this poses a serious threat to democracy and pluralism in the country. The statement says that the opposition will react with all democratic means and will mobilize citizens against this attempt to annihilate it. ON PAGE 11
