Here is who is killing Azem Hajdari again

Defending Hajdari’s killers means defending the socialists of September 12 The DP’s contribution to identifying Azem Hajdari’s killers is now well known and clear, as it has made public the specific names of those who took part in this murder. Nothing of the sort has been done, nor have they even made the effort to do it for a year, by any of the state institutions whose purpose is to protect citizens, politicians, public figures, or ordinary people, such as the prosecution, the courts, and the police. If this is considered protection of the killers by the current government, then what more should we say on behalf of the DP than to name Azem Hajdari’s killers, make public the plan for his murder, and level accusations in every form, with full responsibility, against the then former Prime Minister Fatsoj nano, Parliament Speaker Skënder Gjinushi, and SHIK chief Fatos Klosi. continued on page 2

Gjinushi, a pretext for attacking Majko

EDITORIAL Astrit PATOZI The governing coalition is showing serious problems and major rifts in its dealings with Kosovo’s political forces as well, demonstrating that its structure now has no solid pillars to keep it standing. Yesterday, Parliament Speaker Skënder Gjinushi accused Prime Minister Majko of pursuing a personal policy when he called Ibrahim Rugova the president of Kosovo, adding that even being called the leader of the LDK is too much for the latter. on page 3

The government protects Azem Hajdari’s killers

Today, 337 days since the murder of the December Leader Every day that passes since the murder of Azem Hajdari, the symbol of democracy and pluralism, proves the involvement of Fatos Nano’s government and its successor in the crime that shook the entire Albanian world. The governments of the former communists, who are free and have not brought the criminals who took the life of the December Leader to justice, show Albanians that they have been and remain on the side of the murderers, who have names and identities but are untouched by those in power. Democrats and all Albanians who loved and honored Azem Hajdari can in no way tolerate this fact. The government must either capture the criminals and bring them to justice, or publicly declare that it itself committed the murder of Azem Hajdari.
