37 ministers – 37 millionaires

Here is what the 4 socialist governments have produced since June 29 Fino fattens himself on Glina water. Petro Koçi continues to keep and enjoy the gas station on the outskirts of Tirana, and has also started construction activity together with Minister Ruka. Milo has turned the Ministry of Foreign Affairs into the consular office of the Greek embassy, and Gjinushi has done the same with Parliament. With the passing of the harsh winter season, the deputies from Vlora are waiting to resume their trafficking activity toward Italy. Poçi has still not severed his ties with his construction company. Malaj is seeing the fruits of the sale of properties to himself and friends from the rentier companies. Çeka has been deprived of the opportunity to put police officers in the cold sea offices to clear the ships smuggling cigarettes. Caci continues calmly to trade in fuel…… and the list of those in power and their businesses stretches back three years, to the day these people came to power at gunpoint.

The government protects the killers of Azem Hajdari

Today, 546 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 weighs on the entire Albanian world. The government of the former communists, which leaves free and undisturbed 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 not touched by those in power. Democrats and all Albanians who loved and honored Azem Hajdari cannot tolerate this fact. The government must either arrest the criminals and bring them to justice, or publicly declare that it itself killed the leader Azem Hajdari.
