editorial Counterproposal By Sami NEZA When the Democratic Party drafted a platform calling for the restoration of the republic and presidential government, every clear-minded person in political circles should have called it a strongly critical act against the proposals of the Turkish and Slavic mafia-style plotters, which had no purpose other than to make the power of the prime minister stronger and more irresponsible. It immediately rejected this, considering it a branch of fascism and a discrediting instrument of the former mini-government. It is enough to say that some of his writings came from former Prime Minister Meta. The Pact for the Country was one of the proposed alternatives to the political situation of the PP for the worst trajectory of governance, which does not possess and institutionally, since the opposition and the leadership were not considered with the same anti-mafia and anti-crime stance in the country on page 3

Today marks 439 days since the murder of the Leader of December Today is the 1005th day of the government’s hatred toward the opposition. The government does not condemn even the killers of 12 September, but rewards them. This is shown by the absurd outrage brought about by the employment in the Republic Guard of at least 4 persons suspected of being accomplices in the organization and execution of the deputy Azem Hajdari, commanded and at the same time related to the prime minister. The prime minister himself has never called them the persons responsible for this murder, as he mentioned, and the Police as well, but he has not sued them for defamation. Was this a reprimand? Incredible! The opposition and the Democratic Party made all the denunciations and published the names with all the re-edits of the prime minister and the government. But where is the government and its independence? Has it publicly declared that this would not be allowed, or that such people should be stopped? The government should have investigated these serious defamatory acts against a prime minister who even publicly challenged anyone to prove them. Instead of doing this, the government has accepted the so-called Hajdari perpetrators as if they were innocent, made them part of the structures and, with a huge reward, also included them on the payroll of the law-enforcement bodies. These people, for one hundred and eighteen thousand lekë in monthly salary, do not find the time to publicly denounce these killers either. Such is the government of the hatred of 12 September and of these “beneficiaries”. Today is the 1005th day of the rule of hatred and the criminal order of 12 September in the country
