How Pashalimani Was Attacked

Those responsible for opening the weapons depots and for holding the Greek flag How Pashalimani Was Attacked The destruction of military units and one of the largest naval bases in the Mediterranean The time of historical division By Asim Plakoti With the sarcasm of a teacher at an American university in 1997–98, Albania could be baptized with the public name of chaos and the last. To understand how ridiculous the statements of the government leadership are, it is enough to take a look at the arbitrary nature of the spontaneous actions of that time. In this context, we are not exaggerating anything if we say that in the complete seizure of power in Vlorë and Sarandë by armed crowds, a ridiculous and bungling role was played by former Prime Minister Fatos Nano. If the thirst for power had not blinded him, he would not have taken upon himself such an action, which only deepened the catastrophe and anarchy. To understand the situation more clearly, it is enough to remember that the Pashalimani base, threatened since 1997, was the most important remaining facility of the country’s military-naval forces. On March 5, the NATO military mission had arrived in Durrës and Vlorë to obtain detailed information about the possibility of the presence of a rapid intervention force in case the crisis worsened. However, another logic prevailed in political Tirana. Nano, in a strange hurry, did not wait to see the country in a war state, but on March 11, 1997, ordered the suspension of Operation “Alba” and the withdrawal of the police forces gathered in Fier. Only a week later, when the situation had completely gotten out of control, he returned with a “peace plan,” which in fact meant the legalization of the rescue committees and the surrender of the state. One of the most important naval bases in the Mediterranean was thus left at the mercy of the crowds. In Pashalimani there was not only a shortage of weapons, but also of infrastructure, specialists, and an entire military tradition built over decades. The attack on this base was not simply robbery; it was a symbolic blow against the Albanian state. Berisha: Repentance cannot be refused A renewed welcome to the signatories of the committees of the gangs and committees "A great punishment with the gathering of the guilty and failures. They are giving the repentant of the committees of destruction, logic and justice."

They also discussed a number of issues related to the electoral processes and the political situation in Albania. At the center of the conversation was support for democratic political forces and the need to restore institutional stability. Debate on slander at the EDU Economic Conference Vintoniak: A new political solution is needed The chairman of the PD, Dr. Sali Berisha, at the forum of the EDU Economic Conference held a series of meetings and took clear political positions. He stressed the need for a new political solution in Albania and criticized the double standards applied to developments in the country. According to him, stability cannot be built on the manipulation of institutions and the exclusion of the opposition from decision-making processes. Gangsters kill 2 police officers in the city of Burrel Crime strikes the state again Another serious criminal act was recorded in the Burrel district, where two police officers were killed. The event caused strong reactions and raised new concerns about the state of public order. The authorities launched an investigation, while public opinion called for immediate measures against the perpetrators. Nano, 1.2 billion USD from usury Bundo takes 50 thousand dollars from Silva The director of INSIG, another godfather of the pyramid schemes The director of INSIG, another godfather of the pyramid schemes. Not every ideologue of the dark past was only a statesman. Some of them, on the eve of the system’s collapse, turned into architects of new predatory schemes. Along this path, many public figures became tied to financial relations, favors, and political support. In this context, the names of INSIG leaders and their links to usury schemes are also mentioned. According to the accusations, the gains were large and involved wide clientelist networks.
