Political dialogue based on the Council of Europe resolution Yesterday around midday, at about 1:30 p.m., the chairman of the Democratic Party, Dr. Sali Berisha, met with the Austrian ambassador in Tirana, Dr. Peter Grubmayr. During the meeting, Dr. Berisha stated that the Majko government, with its ministers and the prime minister, shows no serious sign of change. In the government are the same individuals who, through orders, decisions, and other acts, run a country of state terror and smuggling. Meanwhile, the new prime minister has placed in the cabinet PS personalities with a record of anti-opposition and anti-democratic conduct such as Rexhep Mejdani, Arta Dade, Ylli Bufi, Servet Pëllumbi, etc. Berisha informed the ambassador of the PD’s assessment of the political situation and of the need for political dialogue based on the resolution of the Council of Europe and the demand for a technical government. Sali Berisha also informed the ambassador about the terror being carried out against protesters, about the killings and arrests, about attacks on the headquarters of opposition parties and the free press. At the same time, he expressed concern over the majority’s ongoing manipulation of institutions and of the democratic process. At the end of the meeting, Ambassador Grubmayr reiterated the need to lower political tension and to engage in dialogue.

Analyst of the judges’ base of the Study Center (?) Qaqo had no right to sign contracts as minister. This constitutional and procedural determination destroys the alibi with which Apostoli and his collaborators have tried to justify a series of questionable tenders. The documents obtained prove that in many cases procedures were bypassed and payments were made without final approval. It also emerges that the orders were issued during a period when ministerial powers were limited or suspended. Under these conditions, political and criminal responsibility falls not only on the executors, but also on those who benefited from the scheme. Specialists emphasize that millions of lekë from tenders were directed toward companies linked to the political clientele and that real competition was avoided. According to the documents, the names of the companies and the value of the contracts will be published later.

Today, 22 days since the killing of the leader of the December movement With each day that passes since the killing of Azem Hajdari, the responsibility of those behind this crime grows, and sufficient evidence such as the testimony of the wounded, film evidence, witnesses, and the public statements of family members and relatives make the accusation increasingly serious. The government and its institutions are accused of protecting the killers and obstructing the full clarification of the case.
