The Presidency and the executive are in crisis. The power struggle between Nano and Meidani continues Last night he announced only half of Nano’s appointments. Bllokaj, Dade and Shevfi are still ministers. Only Ceka is leaving. Hoxhaga, Rama and others have suffered the prime minister’s replacement, but not the President’s. The PD condemns the killing of Bujar Suli. The communist clique continues its platform of physical liquidation of political opponents. State terror is killing citizens In this murderous event the roles have been reversed, now as aggressors and killers. This is proven by the fact that the victim and his two companions, at the moment they were hit by a burst of gunfire, were in their stopped vehicle and not on foot fighting with the police. This means that in any case there was a blatant violation of the law by the law-enforcement forces. The spokesperson of the parliamentary group of the Democratic Party, through a press statement, yesterday condemned the killing of Bujar Suli, as well as the wounding of his two companions on Thursday afternoon in Tirana. On behalf of the parliamentary group of the PD, Genc Pollo declared that the police forces had beaten and executed citizen Bujar Suli under the pretext of arrest and had seriously wounded two others, with the initials Sh. and R., thus turning the state police into murderers and criminals. According to him, from the elections of 29 June until today, Albania has experienced more than 30 armed attacks and explosive attacks against citizens, as a result of which 14 people have been killed. These attacks have not been uncovered by the Albanian police, which has shown incompetence, servility toward the government and has often been the cause of them itself. “In the latest case of the shooting execution of Bujar Suli and the wounding of his two companions, the police and the Ministry of the Interior have tried to present this as an accidental death during an exchange of fire. But the facts do not match the police version.” “The place where the incident occurred, the main street of Tirana, the entrance to the train station, and the vehicle blocked by a police car leave no room for doubt.” According to Pollo, investigations carried out at the scene clearly show that the car in which the victim and his two companions were traveling was found blocked by a police car, shot from all sides and with the doors open. The victim’s body and the two wounded men were found in positions that prove they were not engaged in a gunfight with the police. On the other hand, the police concealed the evidence and delayed the official announcement of the incident, increasing suspicions of a genuine execution. Media pressure against the journalists of “RD”, court summons, Demirxhi in investigation The denigrating pressure in the media and in the street against the journalists of “RD” continues. In recent days, new episodes of verbal and institutional violence against the newspaper’s staff have been recorded. In the middle of last night, a group of unidentified people blocked the distribution of the newspaper, while in another case journalist Demirxhi was taken in for questioning. This ongoing pressure is linked to the climate created against the opposition and the critical press. Street brawl. Photo [?]

The media worries about the journalists of “RD” The decision of the owner of the “Maritim” hotel, Robert Kurti, to forbid the “RD” journalist from entering the premises where a press conference was being held, was followed yesterday by other incidents no less significant, which clearly show the acute crisis of power. Around midday, the head of traffic in Vlora, Astrit Pilo, publicly and in a thug-like tone threatened the “RD” journalist, Bledar Milori, saying: “We will kill, we will wipe out you and your newspaper.” This scandalous act happened in front of citizens and is part of a campaign of psychological and physical terror against the independent media. At the same time in Tirana, the “RD” journalist, Eduart Demirxhi, was taken to the police station, where he was held for several hours without any legal reason. According to the “RD” editorial office, such actions are a sign of the degradation of the state and the lack of press freedom in the country.

Other episodes of pressure and arbitrariness against the journalists of “RD” were also recorded yesterday. After the order prohibiting the journalist from entering a public activity, the police then intervened by taking journalist Demirxhi to the investigative office. This action is considered by the editorial staff as a political revenge for the critical articles published by the newspaper. Instead of guaranteeing press freedom, the state is acting as a censor and a threat.

Jonde and Ahmeti have left in place the minister Quliamine have been replaced [sic][?] Kromë with a free brethlje from groups of experts and investors. The so-called prime minister of the majority, while speaking and justifying himself to the future, was trying to create a political alibi for the government’s difficulties, and he did not stop slandering the opposition and especially the former prime minister Berisha. Instead of remembering that in Kosovo, devastated and reduced to ruin at the peak of the times, a genuine anti-Albanian campaign has been carried out, in which Serbia continues to burn and kill, the Albanian state has been reduced to the role of spectator. Thus he and his prime minister seem to have thought of diverting public opinion’s attention by turning its eyes to the past. Mr. Nano came out yesterday in public with his insulting language toward the opposition. He called former President Berisha the man who seeks destabilization. But the reality of Albania shows the opposite. It is enough to recall the attacks, explosions, killings and the failure of public order to understand that today’s crisis is the product of his governance. In the Balkans, officials and diplomats are avoiding the Albanian government as an unreliable and insignificant factor.
