EDITORIAL The invisible defeat By Edi PALOKA The bewilderment of the Albanian administration[?] dominated[?] the impudence of the p[?]shkri[?]tarë[?] openly[?] of the government’s work and of all the other state institutions magjistrive[?] q[?] that pleads in the e[?]ducation of the crisis. It is not easy. The rulers, with its mind[?]. Since the moment its subordinates became officeholders, the Albanian state was replaced by the PS, but the truth is that so far the reflections of reality have been brought by the people of all kinds[?] and governance has had only one aim: registration and illegalization[?] of irresponsibility. There is a continuous effort by the government to sell to public opinion a control[?] over what it is unable to guarantee. The strategy of this government has been simple. To close its eyes to the truth, to hide failure and to blame someone else for every consequence. By doing this, it has lost not only the battle to govern, but also the ability to understand the reality in which it lives. This is the invisible defeat, but the heaviest one. on page 5
