By Shemsi PEPOSHI
The Socialist Party has begun an electoral campaign devoid of principles. The party-state has set the government, state institutions and the entire state administration to work for the election campaign. Several urgent meetings, groups of people who say they are specialists appearing on screens and in newspapers in support of this campaign, as well as in districts, villages and other inhabited areas, to conduct election propaganda

The plight of Albanians and the vilification of the West
By Nebil CIKA
For several days, the pro-government press has been trying to play with the statements of representatives of the international community, who are seriously concerned by the extreme escalation of the political situation in the country, which is culminating in the deadlock in talks between the ruling majority and the opposition over the electoral commission

The government protects Azem Hajdari’s killers
Today, 571 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 leaves free and unpunished the criminals who took the life of the December Movement Leader, the leader of Albanian youth, because they were and are in the circle of the murderers, who have names and surnames but are not touched by those in power. Democrats and all Albanians who loved and honored Azem Hajdari cannot tolerate his killers. The government must either capture the criminals and bring them to justice, or publicly declare that it itself carried out the murder of Azem Hajdari.
