New political elections, hope for Albanians

On 22 March, a large rally in Skanderbeg Square ALBANIAN CITIZENS! "...join together for democracy!" [?] in our power to move the wheel of history after 7 e- [?] of the sigh of socialist rule, which in 2 years and 4 months destroyed [?] in the economy, the hopes and the most vital national interests. From the collapse of public order and the state administration; from the deep degradation of law and morality in the country, from corruption in power and government, from high unemployment and prostitution, from the massive illegal departure to the West, from the lack of drinking water and electricity, from the trafficking of children, women and narcotics, all the way to organized and industrial crime, from day to day the ugly and anti-national face of the new government of Albania is becoming more and more apparent. After 7 years of political and media pluralism, during the rule of the left in Albania, poverty among the majority has fallen and continues to fall, corruption has risen to the sky, every link of the state has been broken, fundamental human freedoms are being violated, and violence and crime are spreading alarmingly. Where has the Socialist government with its leader, Fatos Nano, taken Albania? It has revived class struggle, revived revenge on regional and political bases, and is dividing us into south and north, into winners and losers, into left and right. It continues on its path of turning the people against the state and the law, is leading the country toward bankruptcy, and is making life insecure and hopeless. All this means that today Albanians stand before a decisive moment for their country and for the future of their children. On 22 March, at 3:00 p.m. in Skanderbeg Square, let us all come together to give the country the hope it deserves. JOIN THE GREAT RALLY OF 22 MARCH! Defend your interests and those of your family!

The government will keep its promises on 1 April

120 million dollars from the usury schemes were stolen by those thieves in power Those owners of TVSH [?] and bunkers [?] were favored; but the creditors took them [?]. In other prisons they were tortured. In certain cases, one million is being verified [?]. [?] Here in Vlora, where the Socialist government, which came to power with the promise of compensating the very last penny of the usury schemes, is showing its failure more clearly every day. The citizens of Vlora and of the whole country have no hope of recovering the lost money. According to concerned citizens, since the Socialists came to power no serious verification of the thefts and looting of funds has been carried out. Likewise, according to them, only those creditors who were party militants of the ruling party or close to its leaders have been paid. The great majority of citizens continues to remain without compensation. ON PAGE 5

The "Murati" flour from Brazil condemns the big fish of corruption [?] The "Murati" flour from Brazil condemns the big fish of corruption "The coffee smuggling is done by the officials" The International Conference on Kosovo, the interpreter and coordinator for Kosovo in the European [?], gained its importance. "The firms are in the hands of the government, and if we look at which people they deal with and what relations they have with the government, this problem becomes fully clear. Coffee smuggling is done with the blessing of the government. The people who import coffee tax-free are linked to the leading firms and to the administration. In fact, the smuggled coffee is often escorted by the police." [?] Bardhi asks him what is happening with smuggling and the small fish? "They are not small fish. They are big fish sitting in armchairs in government." ON PAGE 5
