The Democratic Party warns of ignoring TV Citizens of the south abandon the Prime Minister The Prime Minister was received coldly yesterday in Memaliaj. Nano was forced to visit the town of Memaliaj. They put before him that a year of government has been very significant for this small town. Hundreds of unemployed people, miners’ wages unpaid, dozens of local government projects that have failed to reach central authorities. The citizens of Memaliaj said that the priority has not been set and the government of the residents is a big peak. In Tepelenë too, only 10 people shook his hand at the town telephone. Along the main road, many citizens asked him to leave p[?]arave.

By Astrit PATOZI The continent’s corrupt government is trying to soften the stain placed by important international institutions, by making anti-smuggling the topic of seminars and Nano cabinet meetings, while the Prime Minister and his ministers vomit the same high-level responsibility from the illegal business that is driving the country into costs. Disavowed by the World Bank’s conclusion, Nano and his close associates, who are distinguished as champions of smuggling, are trying to present themselves as fighters against this phenomenon. Prime Minister Fatos Nano delivered another speech against smuggling at the last government meeting, in which even the Minister of Finance, Arben Malaj, had stated before journalists that only after seven years could one speak of anti-corruption effects in Albania. And this mismatch between two high officials of the government and this even the lesser evil, as if this cabinet had even the idea of changing course from the gangrene that has seized the administration and the entire Albanian state. When Nano and his ministers end up as traffickers, they try to shake off the heavy burden of accusations, not by pulling themselves even slightly away from the greed of participation in smuggling profits, but by giving speeches and seminars. The Dublin Group reports in Athens that Albania is the drug paradise in Europe. In the Greek capital it is said clearly that Albania constitutes the traffic of white poison, from which fantastic incomes are said to be secured, while there is found a state and a completely paralysed police force. Before delivering speeches at hollow conferences or routine government meetings, Fatos Nano must answer why the police turn a blind eye to drugs and where the money that comes from trafficking through the ports of Vlora and Saranda goes. Likewise, he must explain whose property is the drug refinery which the Dublin Group says is located somewhere in southern Albania, where the Socialists also have old strongholds from last year’s uprising. It is hard to think of any government in the world that has broken so many bad records in such a short time as Fatos Nano’s cabinet. Now we are first in the league of crime, in smuggling and in drug trafficking. These are only findings confirmed and signed by the West, while there are many other facts that we ourselves know, living under the shadow of a government champion of evil. What stands out against the background of smugglers dressed in ministerial uniforms in the government coalition cabinet is the hostility that the press has begun to create for them. Fatos Nano, Arben Malaj, Bashkim Fino, Kastriot Islami and others are trying to tell Albanian people that the accusations against them are an exaggeration by the Albanian press, which, according to them, is trampling on its freedoms. But more than an alibi for their sins, this gesture sounds like a new threat against journalists who have had the courage to tell the truth about the latest truth. If, because of this show of force, some journalists will become complacent or will step back, the opposition will indeed put them on the trail of the mission of telling Albanians the truth, which, unfortunately, in many cases foreigners are telling them. Meanwhile, by definitively washing away the "decorations" for the records in corruption, criminality, smuggling and drug trafficking, the Albanian government has its own records that do not bear the signature of the Albanian press but of the World Bank, the Dublin Group or the European Troika, which visited Albania a few days a go. This government cannot fight corruption and smuggling for the simple reason that it cannot go against itself. If the Prime Minister insists that the most talked-about minister within the coalition, and the one most accused of corruption, remain untouched, this means that the main line of Evil must be sought in Fatos Nano himself. Everyone remembers the fact that Arben Malaj told 2 million Albanians that the Prime Minister had given away a "Rolex" watch, which costs at least 10 thousand dollars. But what can you expect from an administration, when the Deputy Prime Minister says that the fight against corruption is not the duty of the government, but only of justice. Kastriot Islami says this at a time when more than half of his colleagues, including himself, are under extremely serious accusations, and when unprecedented attacks have been launched against the judiciary by the executive power in order to place it completely under political control. The true findings of the West, which place Albania among the darkest of the continent, are more than enough reason to respond to the decision of the National Council of the Democratic Party for the final break with Albanian communists. Even if it had not been so harshly inclined toward the physical liquidation of the opposition, the opposition could not remain at a table and in a hall with the demons of crime, drugs and smuggling. When everyone is pointing to it as the factory of evil in Europe, the Democratic Party cannot remain silent as a wing of the government coalition as proof of a normality that has never existed since the rigged elections of 29 June. By striving to defend once and for all the illegal power from the start, the opposition does a great service to the country, because it focuses all the accusations and grievances of Albanians on the true perpetrators of their drama. This will make it easier and better for the West to understand, which, having its fixed principles, is normal for democracy, but which cannot work under regimes, nonetheless finds it difficult to accept boycotting institutions. In this case, it is the institutions themselves that are indebted, having been turned into generators of crime, corruption, smuggling and drug trafficking.

The Democratic Party press office responds to Nano The Prime Minister shares money with traffickers Albanian Prime Minister Fatos Nano, regarding his meeting with the Commander- in-Chief of NATO in Albania, General Clark, allegedly used the opportunity to attack the opposition with fabrications, accusing it as if its members were trafficking weapons. Lefterio S. of the Democratic Party, while welcoming the visit of General Clark to Albania and of NATO ships to the port of Durrës, stressed that this statement by Prime Minister Nano is in reality an outright self-accusation. This is because, if the Prime Minister knows which opposition members may be trafficking weapons, he tolerates it at a time when his own government organizes the distribution of profits and activities. For the Democratic Party, this means that those supposed traffickers are sharing the profits from trafficking with the Prime Minister and his collaborators in the armed forces[?].
