From a left-wing government to a left-wing state

editorial From a left-wing government to a left-wing state By Sami NEZA The expansion of Fatos Nano’s state toward governmental institutionalization now includes not only the integration into the system of guilt, the softening of Prime Minister Ilir Meta from a semi-beginning, and the involvement of the real prime minister’s office with the blow against the media and especially against the Socialist prime minister. Come on, the chairman of the Socialist Party? Come on, the chairman of the state governed by the well of the vote? Nano is handing over freedom and creating a government that is becoming a state. Because he aims to absolve and emasculate the integration of the state that has been softened for the work of government, while Prime Minister Ilir Meta, from the narrowness and the positions of prime minister, will be the prey of opposition. Nano is doing favors for himself and his friends in the SP, by expanding the immunity of several ministers, which the Minister of Justice has not granted them, a minister who, I do not know, must respect power or consider it only insofar as it gives and takes. Nano’s power and his danger are increasing. Because in order to enslave a state, one must create a government, and the opposite is also true. (on page 3)

The government expels the killers of Azem Hajdari

504–463 days since the killing of the leader of December Today, 463 days after the killing of the Leader of December, a new government adventure was filled in to absolve and render invisible the team of killers of PD deputy Azem Hajdari. This happened through yesterday’s decision to extradite the 4 main suspects, arrested in Turkey. By removing them and thus likely sparing at least one participation in the court panel, the government has also avoided the exposure of the executors and the masterminds of the crime, while many people involved in the motives of this murder still remain free today. The government has left Hajdari in the heart as a symbol of democracy and pluralism, while those who executed him want to keep them on their knees in the face of history. The government must either defend its integrity and line up justice for the perpetrators of the crime, or it must bow its head before the truth. The government can no longer hide its political involvement. The government cannot tolerate the removal without trial of the suspects in such a murder. (on page 4)
