Metta's career is ready; Bushati's rise is being prepared The issue is to simplify[?] the peasant and to play one against the other with the autonomists Page[?] Nano has opted for shrinking his government cabinet for[?] entirely personal reasons, in favor of his own clan, thus creating a new political configuration. Sources from the pink headquarters confirmed yesterday that at the beginning of the week two more ministers of the current government will be dismissed, namely the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, Luan Rama, and the Minister of Local Government, Fatos Klosi. The removal of these two ministers under the pretext of "downsizing the cabinet" is being done to free up places for figures closer to Fatos Nano. It is learned that one of those removed will be replaced by the current Minister of Finance, Arben Malaj, while in his place Kastriot Islami will be appointed. At the same time there is also talk of a political promotion for Ditmir Bushati[?] or a further rapprochement of Pandeli Majko with the decision-making center of the Socialist Party. In this political move, Meta appears as one of the figures Nano is seeking to keep close, guaranteeing him ground for a career. On the other hand, the reshuffles aim to weaken other groupings within the Socialist Party and strengthen the chairman's personal control over the party and the government. While public opinion awaits answers to the economic crisis and insecurity in the country, developments in the Socialist camp are being interpreted as an attempt at political survival rather than reform. Citizens seeking stability are left stunned, while the leadership is dealing with internal balances. ON PAGE 6
