The anti-corruption platform does not address government corruption
By Ridvan BODE
In recent days, the government announced the so-called platform for the fight against corruption, which was scheduled to be completed on January 15 of this year. Judging by its contents, this platform represents a new attempt, using the demagoguery of the fight against corruption, to safeguard the positions of the ruling clans, which, in the nearly three-year period of their rule, have transformed corruption from a prevailing short-term trend into a structural phenomenon of governance, placing the Albanian government among the most corrupt on the continent and in the global corruption elite

The bastardization of the concept of civil society
By Bardhyl LONDO
The open disagreement between the opposition and the majority over the electoral law is causing the wider public to learn even more about what the battle over this fundamental law of democracy entails: the basic concepts held by the government of the left-wing majority and by the president elected by that majority regarding the building of an open, pluralist society

Today, 585 days since Azem’s murder
The government protects the killers of Azem Hajdari
Every day that passes since the murder of Azem Hajdari, the symbol of democracy and pluralism, proves the involvement of the government of Fatos Nano and his successor in the crime that shook the entire Albanian world. The government of the former communists, which leaves free and unpunished the criminals who took the life of the December Leader, shows Albanians that it has never been, and is not now, on the side of the killers, who have names of their own but are not touched by those in power. Democrats and all honest, worthy Albanians cannot tolerate this farce of guilt concerning Azem Hajdari. The government, which must assume and demonstrate responsibility, must either publicly declare that it itself committed the murder of Azem Hajdari.
