Albanians protest—the authorities turn to violence

The “Meta” government has days numbered

By Mujë BUÇPAPAJ The Meta government has its days numbered. Everyone in this country knows this very well, even the ministers in the Socialist cabinet accused of corruption, who are making their final transfers of money abroad or arranging visas to the West. If we look deeply into history, a moment comes when neither money, nor lies, nor the political police, not even God himself can save a bad ruler from the people’s anger on page 4

The government protects Azem Hajdari’s killers

Today, 497 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 his successor in the crime that shook the entire Albanian world. The governments of the former communists, who are free and unrepentant, show Albanians that they have been and remain on the side of the killers who have names, but are not touched by those in power. Democrats and all Albanians who loved and honoured Azem Hajdari can in no way tolerate this crime. The government must either apprehend the criminals and bring them to justice, or publicly declare that it itself committed the murder of Azem Hajdari.
