A charity concert for the Prime Minister

By Sami NEZA These days, as never before, art and all Albanians who value it are on one side, and the government is on the other. Solidarity with the striking artists is a great example of citizens’ civility, just as it highlights the government’s barbaric conduct and its distance from national ethics and aesthetics on page 5

The government protects Azem Hajdari’s killers

Today, 499 days since Azem’s murder 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 that of his successor in the crime that shook the entire Albanian world. The government of the former communists, which leaves the criminals who took the life of the December Leader free and unnamed, shows Albanians that it has been and remains on the side of the murderers, who have names of their own but are untouched by those in power. Democrats and all Albanians who love and honored Azem Hajdari cannot tolerate this fact under any circumstances. The government must either catch the criminals and bring them before the courts, or publicly declare that it itself committed the murder of Azem Hajdari.
