The ruralism of today’s government officials

By Bardhy LONDO On a television program, Foreign Minister Paskal Milo had summoned an employee of a private television station to dictate an “interview” to her which, although it was of no importance whatsoever to either the television station or the viewer, was important to the minister himself and sought to preserve his lost honor.
