By Bardhyl LONDO The two months of failures in the Meta cabinet will leave Albanians with a heavy balance sheet in the end. It is leaving government with the same fanfare with which it was announced with great fanfare. Not because of the accusations and criticism of the opposition, which the leftists recognize as the usual motives of a competitor, but because of the harshest words coming from its own majority in power. As if never imagined before, it is becoming clear that the two months of the new left-wing government were in fact a continuation of what Albanians have known as the rule of gangs, but with even greater force than ever. These are concerns whose solution perhaps was not entirely disconnected from the time the socialists need to deal with the essential details of this governance, such as: who is the candidate for mayor in Tirana, who is prefect in Fier, who is deputy director in customs, and all kinds of such inventions in order to degenerate into government and governance.

The positions of the socialists in this case are displacements of a vector oriented toward the Athens-Belgrade axis, which does not give up on working to hinder the integration of Albanians into a clear Western strategic line. Speaking at the parliamentary meeting of the SP group, Meta sharply criticized the positions of the KFOR leadership in Kosovo, especially the actions of the KFOR spokesman, Jamie Shea, in relation to Kosovo. At least that is the impression, which cannot be regarded as a figure and must be taken as a grotesque scene. Both by government officials and by the interest group that runs it, Kosovo is being seen as a new and old small instrument to be used to attack the international credibility of Kosovo's institutions. Meta continues on the same path as his predecessors in the winds of the important when a democratic Kosovo rather than a powerless Kosovo on page 5 Today, 562 days since the killing of Azem Hajdari The government protects Azem Hajdari’s killers
