Vatra: The Nano government must go

The Albanian diaspora in America is alarmed: The communist clique is establishing dictatorship in Albania Visit to the megalomaniac “The attitudes and actions of the current rulers belittle the aims and turn them hostile toward the people for the dismemberment of Albania and the hope of Albanians in Kosovo. And also in other occupied areas” Prime Minister Fatos Nano, in the highest office in Albania, is untouchable in speeches and statements, but when he has to act, his courage fails him. He does this with great difficulty and hesitation, hindered on one side by Serbian and Greek pressure, and on the other by the lack of will to defend Albanian national interests. Instead of being the voice of the Albanians of Kosovo and other Albanian areas, he has set narrow political limits for himself and has often adapted to the demands of foreign circles. Prime Minister Nano still has not understood that his duty is not to appease Belgrade or Athens, but to firmly defend the Albanian cause. With his wavering policy, he is not only damaging Albania's interests, but also undermining the Albanians' trust in their state. This behavior has caused a strong reaction in the Albanian diaspora in the USA, which views with concern the country's slide toward authoritarianism and lack of transparency.

PP, government of low taxes

PP proposes an alternative that can satisfy both the state and the individual. Lower taxes for Albanians. A 7% tax on food products and 15% on luxury goods “The VAT rates, the percentage applied by the government of “Nano” hold 25% of small businesses, 110% inflation, the disappearance of 3,800 foreign investors and 70,000 unemployed; the consumer demand increases and the direct tax falls”

Visit to the megalomaniac

Prime Minister Fatos Nano governs through the communist chairman, a Greater-Serbia megalomaniac and anti-Albanian from Tivar. Through this arrangement he was elected prime minister on 26 July. The Albanian parties were shaken and the candidacy changed. Various international circles were on the scene that supported this solution. Prime Minister Fatos Nano is incapable of understanding that he is not the prime minister of Belgrade or Athens, but of the Albanians. This lack of state sense has led him to move without a political compass in a very difficult period for the Albanian nation. Therefore, his visit, accompanied by unclear statements, has created deep dissatisfaction in national opinion. What should have been a working visit turned into a display of servility and lack of political dignity. Albanians expected him to firmly defend national rights, but he chose to avoid historical responsibility. This is why the criticism of him has increased both inside the country and in the diaspora.
