Gjinushi made a law for his 10-story building
Merdani, Apostoli, Shuli and other officials involved in the speaker’s scandal, from which millions are illegally gained
The law was approved on 17 September last year, only three days after the events of 14 September, when the country and the former SHIK chief himself for the PD anti-communist governments were in crisis, today the regime attacks and does not [bri?] with this approval such a law
The law was approved on 17 September last year, only three days after the events of 14 September, when the country and the government itself were in crisis. Many of the majority’s MPs not only did not know it, but they also had no idea that such a law had been approved. The government still hides Azem’s killers. The week in the country: the murder of the leader of democracy, Azem Hajdari, and of his bodyguard Besim Çera on the evening of 12 September 1998. As it was spilling blood and terrorizing Albanians precisely in the hot summer of that year, all foreign tourists had left the country, while diplomats were leaving in large numbers. The murder of Azem Hajdari deeply shook the country and the Albanian people. It marked a dark stage of the Fatos Nano regime, which was accompanied by a series of scandals and illegal acts to the detriment of national interests. At the height of the popular revolt and the shock suffered by the socialist regime because of this event, the government and its administration found time to deal with a private affair of the speaker, which had to do with the approval of a law to legalize Skënder Gjinushi’s 10-story building. The law was approved on 17 September 1998, only three days after the events of 14 September, when hundreds of thousands of Albanians had filled Tirana’s main boulevard in protest against the regime. At a time when everyone was focused on the difficult political situation and crisis management, the socialist majority and its allies found time to vote for a special law for a private interest. This shows not only a lack of moral and political responsibility, but also an open abuse of power for personal gain. The special law is directly linked to the construction of the chairman of the Assembly’s 10-story building. The benefits flowing from this decision are in the millions, while the path followed runs counter to the spirit of the rule of law and to the public interest. The government of the time, involved in numerous scandals, according to the article, used power to protect and enrich its own people. Corruption, clientelism and the capture of institutions are presented as traits of the regime of that time. Continues on page 2
