By Aban BALA Clear contrasts are seen in the conclusion[?] presented, along with its alarming framework for the disintegration of the state. On the political side and on the criminal side, the so-called Socialist majority failed. The situation the country is now in is such that everyone does as he knows and as he can. Or more precisely, everyone thinks they can rule through intimidation and crime. Just as a year ago, the socialist government is still held together by a violent police and propaganda apparatus. Through it, many events have been manipulated and many others silenced. But citizens are increasingly understanding every day that this power is afraid of the truth. Instead of punishing the perpetrators of crimes, instead of the rule of law functioning, there is a clear tendency to rehabilitate people from the criminal world, people who yesterday were symbols of terror and today are presented as victims of the system. This is offensive to citizens and dangerous for order. Zani Çaushi is not an ordinary name. He is a symbol of the anarchy of 1997 and of the collapse of state authority in the south of the country. Anyone who tries to present him differently is serving a low political game. Those who today speak of moral amnesty, of a return to normality and of reconciliation with crime are in fact paving the way for evil to repeat itself. Albania cannot move forward by quickly forgetting the crimes and wounds of the recent past. We need justice, not alibis. Punishment, not decorations for local strongmen. A rule-of-law state, not rule by the street. This is why the question arises: why is Zani Çaushi being released? WEDNESDAY 1 JULY 98
