The six-month anniversary of Azem Hajdari’s murder is commemorated with grandeur. Thousands of democrats return to “Skënderbej” Square Democrats march along “Dëshmorët e Kombit” boulevard to gather in front of the PD headquarters. On March 22, once again in “Skënderbej” Square. Free elections to revive hope /photo: on the “Skënderbej” steps/ Everyone is in the square. The steadfast men of honor and loyalty. Women and girls, young men and grown men. Everyone gathered in a protest march that begins at the headquarters of the Democratic Party and pours like a river into “Skënderbej” Square, in the center of Tirana. In everyone’s eyes there was a silent but powerful call: “Down with the government, no vote for the socialists, Freedom-Democracy.” More than 100,000 people, in complete silence, walk the path of civic protest. They are the people who have come to honor the memory of the tribune of Albanian democracy, Azem Hajdari, and at the same time to show that they are ready for resistance and endurance. They are all there. Young people, women, students, merchants, the unemployed, residents of the capital, but also people from the districts. United and determined. Silent and with calm, somber faces. No one is hurrying. No one is shouting fiercely. Only the weight of longing, of pain, but also of a belief that freedom does not die, can be felt. At the head of the crowd are officials of the Democratic Party, deputies, members of the Presidency and of the National Council. The march passes through the boulevard and stops in front of the monument to the national hero. There, under the heavy March sky, an entire city returns to demand a solution. Tirana today calls for a solution. It calls against the crisis, against fear, against the rule of violence and poverty. It calls for free elections, for normality, for the rule of law. On March 22, once again in “Skënderbej” Square. Free elections to revive hope. photo: in “Skënderbej” Square

Azem’s memory leads us toward victory By XHEMAL GJUNKSHI [...] we have united in the ranks of the alliance. Because we, the supporters and sympathizers of different parties, have a common ideal: freedom and democracy. Today, when Albania finds itself at the crossroads of a historic turning point in which its very existence as a free state is at stake, the need once again arises for a strong nationwide unity that will involve even more broadly the ordinary people, intellectuals, students, the business world, women and young people, in the fight against the police state, corruption and poverty into which this political class, which came to power through manipulation and terror, has plunged Albania. To make this unity ever more effective, greater commitment and responsibility are required from each of us. Because those who desecrated Azem Hajdari’s blood, those who tried to kill Albanian democracy on its darkest day, September 14, after failing in their first attempt to overthrow the opposition by force, are now returning to the old and familiar сценарios with which they рассчитывать on dividing and weakening us. But they are very much mistaken. The experience of these years has proven that whenever there has been division among democrats, the only beneficiaries have been the communists and their bastards. [...] because being a democrat does not mean only winning a parliamentary seat, but above all being ready for sacrifice and ideal. [...]
