70 days after the murder of Azem Hajdari Citizens of Tirana! Let us all gather together on Saturday, November 21, at 16:00, in “Skënderbej” Square to protest against this government that continues the mafia and crime, this government that hides criminals, against this government that stands on the blood of the Hero of Democracy, Azem Hajdari. Democratic brothers and sisters! Those who murdered Azem Hajdari are trying to kill democracy every day; those who hide Azem Hajdari’s murderer are bringing the scarecrows of communism out into the squares; those who imprisoned Democrats are releasing bandits from prison. Therefore, let us all gather together to stop the hand of this criminal government, all of us to defend democracy!

. The Albanian government is warning that the referendum will be bloodied. So far, the Albanian authorities, through the Ministry of the Interior, have also identified the geography of the terrorist attacks. Thus, the Ministry of the Interior has decided to carry out destruction and terror in the country’s blue zones, such as Lazarat, Shkodër, Kukës, Laç, etc. The left-wing and official press have pinpointed these very places, turning referendum day into a day no different from the days of March last year, when the Socialist Party’s gangs burned, killed and destroyed institutions and people in every corner of the country. For days, the institutions responsible for public order and national security have been injecting terror into public opinion, thereby causing a national shock among everyone. For a week or more, the press close to SHIK, as well as the other left-wing press, has published Sigurimi-style scenarios according to which someone will wreak havoc on Sunday. What does this mean, and how can such a tragic prediction for the people be understood? First, the Ministry of the Interior and SHIK seek to create a climate of fear through which they will force many people to turn out for the referendum, to prevent any possible change. Second, in a climate of terror and insecurity, it is much easier for them to manipulate referendum turnout, an issue that is decisive for them. But announcing the geography that will suffer most from the government’s police terror and security measures undermines this plan, because the government is trying to keep out of the referendum all those areas where the anti-national draft constitution will receive almost no votes and, moreover, where turnout may be a single-digit figure, if not zero. What the government is trying to do to voters is no longer a battle over the constitution between political parties, but a battle between the government and the people. It is a battle between those who want peace and security in their country and a government seeking to stir up the country against the Albanians; it is a battle between the anti-terrorists found among all kinds of people—from the shahstari, the businessman, the investor—and terror, and the entire wing of the Albanian state: the Ministry of the Interior, the secret service, the government and the administration. This is no longer an ordinary battle over the anti-Albanian constitution, but a battle for the very existence of a healthy national conscience. The government has decided to destroy people not only economically, but psychologically as well. Someone wants to plunge this country into war, into tradition, into nationality, into dealings with the mafia, Balkan nationalist circles, gangsters, hired killers and those who kill in the service of anti-Albanian causes. The constitution cannot be voted on, if only because it represents the terrorist current within the left-wing government. If that is not the case, let its [unclear] know and let them act from their terrorist chairs. State terror was the method of Nazi groups in their early days and later on. Now, at the end of the century, it has again taken on the appearance of a communist effort in Albania. To terrorize the people of your own country psychologically when you are governing them is just like seeking their death. It is tragic, but this Albanian government is capable only of creating tragedy in every...

The International Pan-European Union strongly condemns the murder of the December Leader, Azem Hajdari European parliamentarians, led by Otto von Habsburg

European parliamentarians, led by Otto von Habsburg, denounce Articles 18 and 41 of the draft constitution Yesterday, the International Pan-European Union, which brings together hundreds of parliamentarians and political figures from across Europe, adopted a resolution on Albania, in which it strongly condemns the murder of Azem Hajdari and his guard, the government's undemocratic activities in the referendum process, and the serious shortcomings in the draft Constitution of Albania that will be put to a referendum. This resolution particularly condemns Article 18 of this draft constitution. The resolution states that they denounce the serious defects in Albania's draft constitution; Article 18 of which, say the European parliamentarians led by Otto von Habsburg, is an open violation of the European Convention on Human Rights and an article of political discrimination against Albanians. Article 41, meanwhile, permits the restriction of property through financial compensation and is intended—as the resolution emphasizes—to make these the basis of the cooperative system and to establish state control over it in agriculture and everywhere.

State masked men forcibly search the PD deputy in Fushë-Krujë Numerous masked police officers at the entrance to Fushë-Krujë stopped the car of Pal Dajçi, a member of the PDSH leadership, yesterday at midday and forcibly searched him. After communicating with the masked force, which had no commander, the deputy came under a hail of shots from masked police officers, and Mehilli Fufi, a citizen from Mamurras and father of three children with no criminal record whatsoever, was forcibly taken from the deputy's car. Deputy Dajçi insisted on the legal warning, according to which he could not be searched, much less subjected to force by having a Kalashnikov pressed to a deputy's chest. ON PAGE 3

Today, 67 days since the murder of the December Leader Every day that passes since the murder of Azem Hajdari, the symbol of democracy and pluralism, proves the involvement of Fatos Nano's government and his successor in the crime that shook the entire Albanian world. The government of the former communists, which [text unclear] and does not disturb the criminals who took the life of the December Leader, shows Albanians that it has been and remains on the side of the killers, whose identities are known, but who are not touched by those in power. Democracy and all Albanians who loved and honored Azem Hajdari can never tolerate such a fact. The government must either capture the criminals and bring them to justice, or publicly declare that it itself committed the murder of Azem Hajdari.

The Venice Commission has examined the July draft, not the October project The President of the Venice Commission, Antonio La Pergola, said yesterday that the constitutional draft examined by this commission was the July draft, not the project approved in parliament in October. In this way, La Pergola disavowed the misuse of his name and that of the institution he heads by today’s rulers, who are trying to use the authority of the Council of Europe’s Commission to justify the falsifications and anti-democratic and anti-national amendments to the project, which is expected to be overwhelmingly rejected by Albanians on November 22. The Venice Commission assisted in drafting the main constitutional provisions, as well as in the process of drafting the 1994 draft constitution, but it has never recommended anti-democratic and anti-national articles for the fundamental document of the Albanian state, such as those inserted into the draft “passport” of the left-wing coalition government. The Venice Commission’s position, publicly stated by its President La Pergola, attributes to Gjinushi, Imami, Godo and the other criminal entourage currently ruling the country the articles they want to use to bring back to Albania the ugly models of the regimes of Enver Hoxha or Fidel Castro.
