Who pays the price of the status quo?

By Sami NEZA The government’s and Albania’s highest officials’ efforts to preserve the country’s status quo are among the sources of distress and pessimism in Albania.

By Edi PALOKA Albanian banks are on the verge of being declared bankrupt, but those in power remain silent about it.

The government protects Azem Hajdari’s killers

Today, 103 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 government of the former communists, which leaves free and unpunished the criminals who took the life of the December Leader, shows Albanians that they have been and remain on the side of the killers, who have names and identities but are untouched by those in power. Democrats and all Albanians who loved and honored Azem Hajdari cannot tolerate this fact under any circumstances. The government must either capture the criminals and bring them to justice, or publicly declare that it itself committed the murder of Azem Hajdari.
