Rilindja Demokratike

12 February 2000

The CEC, the government and the opposition

Shemsi PEPOSHI The Socialist government postponed approval of the law on the CEC and the Electoral Code, which it had planned to pass in Parliament this week. The reasons for this postponement are not only the mounting international pressure to prevent the current composition of the CEC and the Electoral Code, because even the Socialists understand that this is impossible. on page 5

The government protects Azem Hajdari’s killers

Today, 513 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 its successors in the crime that shook the entire Albanian world. The government of the former communists, who have left 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 situation. The government must either apprehend the criminals and bring them to justice, or publicly declare that it itself committed the murder of Azem Hajdari.
