Thatcher: Social Communists, dangerous for civilization The PD deputy chairman talks with the former Prime Minister of Britain Pollo meets Thatcher Thatcher: Social Communists, dangerous for civilization An important international meeting took place on Thursday in London, during his visit to Great Britain, between the deputy chairman of the PDSH and head of the party’s Foreign Relations department, Dr. Genc Pollo. At the center of Mr. Pollo’s talks with the former Prime Minister of Britain, Mrs. Margaret Thatcher, was the political crisis in Albania and the threatening stance of the social communists. Mrs. Thatcher expressed concern over the recent actions of the Nano government and the socialist majority in Albania, considering them dangerous for democracy and civilization. The political struggle is also at the center of attention for other British personalities with whom Mr. Pollo met during his visit to London. According to a statement from the press office of the Democratic Party, he held separate talks at the British Foreign Office, as well as with well-known figures from the country’s political and academic life. What about a meeting in Kosovo? Mr. Pollo talks with former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

By Ali MATOZ Albanian macroeconomics assessed around 400 armed, crazed, and drugged-up people who entered Albania at night on 14 September to overthrow the constitutional order. In this case, while yesterday’s prime minister Fatos Nano tried to present the event as something ordinary, pressure from public opinion and the international factor brought his political responsibility to light. The course of subsequent developments, including the way Azem Hajdari’s funeral was handled, further increased the political crisis and showed that the government had lost control of the situation. The choice of Pandeli Majko at the head of the executive was presented as an attempt to avoid escalation, but without providing any guarantee of real change. Instead of bringing the opposition closer and giving signs of reconciliation, the new government began its mandate with exclusionary language and with a program that left no room for political cooperation. In these circumstances, Nano’s departure was not an act of political will, but the result of a crisis that had already worn him down. (continued on page 2)

The U.S. calls on Majko to reach out to the opposition The government must end the conflict The U.S. calls on Majko to reach out to the opposition “Protect the future from the government of today”?[?] declared the spokesperson of the U.S. Department of State, James Rubin. He said that the Albanian government should seize this opportunity to promote political reconciliation and to include the opposition in the democratic process. According to the statement, the priority should be the restoration of constitutional order and the creation of a more stable political climate. Voice of America
