President Meidani has today become a major problem for Albanian politics. Since he also holds the country’s highest office, he now constitutes a national problem, which neither Parliament nor the Constitution can resolve; given that he controls all the branches of the judiciary, the Meidani problem cannot be resolved by the courts either.

The “Reformers,” the government’s crutches

The government is protecting Azem Hajdari’s killers
Today, 495 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 servants of power...

Government officials and former communists of their line, and their criminal followers [?], who took the life of the December Leader, show Albanians that they have been and remain on the side of the killers, who have names and identities but are not touched by those in power. Democrats and all Albanians who loved and honoured Azem Hajdari cannot under any circumstances tolerate this fact. The government must either arrest the criminals and bring them to justice, or publicly declare that it itself carried out the murder of Azem Hajdari.
