Since ’97, the mechanism of values has been broken

By Jozefina TOPALLI In the Socialist Party family album, it is worth adding a photograph of the 100 days of Meta’s government, with the appropriate annotations, of course. Every government stakes its success on the front of economic results on page 2

Majko’s “heresy” and the opposition’s mission

By Astrit PATOZI Former Prime Minister Pandeli Majko opposed the formula in the law on the Central Election Commission, creating the first split in the governing coalition bloc, which hopes to steal votes by the shovel-load in order to remain in power once again. Majko thus becomes the first opposition politician to join the growing concern among responsible figures in Albanian politics and the international community about the country’s future after the elections on page 5

The Theater Law, Edi Rama’s shrewd business deal

Parliament’s approval of the Theater Law was yet another punishment for artists throughout the country, as well as a great humiliation for them. Prime Minister Ilir Meta and Minister of Culture Edi Rama devised a business law for art, kicking Albanian artists and national artistic institutions in every direction on page 5

The government protects Azem Hajdari’s killers

Today, 512 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, who are free and untroubled, and the criminals who took the life of the December Leader show Albanians that they were and remain on the side of the murderers, 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.
