Special report from day to day Nano is preparing the place and the posts for his successor. In these days steps are being taken for the restructuring of the government led by Prime Minister Nano. Thus, according to sources close to the government, the government is working to replace some of its ministers. The developments of the last few days show that the struggle to seize the vacant posts that will be left and the new positions that will open is unfolding according to a predetermined сценарio. These moves seem linked to Mr. Nano’s plans to further strengthen his positions. More specifically, it appears that work is underway to ensure that the new government will not include names that are not fully trusted by him. The restructuring of the cabinet appears intended not only to fill the gaps created, but also to reaffirm political control. On the other hand, in political circles there is talk of deals and secret agreements in the division of posts. This climate has created the impression that the process is not driven by reform needs, but by narrow power interests. Many of the moves are being interpreted as attempts to neutralize internal rivals. While the public awaits concrete solutions to the crisis, attention remains on the names and the balance of power. Against this backdrop, the restructuring is seen more as a political deal than as an improvement in governance. ON PAGE 2
