Nano seeks Shkodra as a sacrifice

The Prime Minister takes revenge for the Shkodran memorial service: he did the same to the president, when the latter sneaked in unnoticed the muddy, crooked road in the city that had passed through the slaughter of 2 April The state of primitive revenge Worried Europe. Consensus is lacking The high-level delegation of the Council of Europe meets with PD leaders; a technical government and new elections are requested Prisa alone asks for conditional amnesty, PD supports him and asks for our consensus for improving the immunity of the chief prosecutor, while our consensus for the procedures of governance left to the Council of Europe 2. The neglected layer of the mass press, sensitively moved, a free text from everything. Voices before the sealed grave of 680 years, an altar desecrated by the new builders, and the place of the last politics and the honor of cholera. Arches in the background, 90 people from Shkodra were killed in the gravel of Kiri in 1997 and become witnesses to a bloody time. For those fallen, a crowd appears in the center of the city with banners and candles. This crowd, which walked on foot toward the Martyrs’ Cemetery, broke the bitter calm of the city and carried the message of remembrance. The government is alarmed. Its people appeared nervous. The police stopped the march at several points and patrolled on the boulevard. In the square, public buildings were placed under guard. The people of Shkodra saw this as revenge. Today, after several days of political clashes, the prime minister seems to be seeking a symbolic culprit. And that culprit is being declared to be Shkodra.

Protests across the country to defend the hunger strikers

The strikers’ health is at risk; former political prisoners warn the government The plan, implementation, and claimed speed[?], but to self-medicate is not enough to carry out a final act, just as they shake Albania with an earthquake over time, and the scale of the measure, evidence, the stick, the phone, in Tirana, Korça and elsewhere. At the end of the protest, it was not possible to determine precisely how the police had treated the strikers, but the total failure of the alleged arson plan. During the few hours they spent on the promenade, they tied themselves around various buildings, repeating their positions. Troops, violent police dispersal, uniforms in the streets, threats like in a dictatorship and other inhuman conduct were widely denounced during the evening hours. In Korça, the 11:00 gathering was accompanied by clear words about the Nano government and the determination of the social movement[?] to protect the strikers at all costs. In front of the stage, where the local head of the PBK had also spoken, several verses by the martyr poet Havzi Nela were read aloud. The organizers of a future protest moved the march toward the prefecture, but the police would not allow it to be held in front of its doors. In the evening, the demonstrators announced that such protests would continue. ON PAGE 2
