“Yes men,” or vassal politicians

At first the seduction began with scholarships for the children. Then jobs were found for the leaders’ women. It continued with the construction of villas, especially in the outskirts of Thessaloniki. (There are also photos that will be published when the time comes, and the “owners” will be ashamed. Well, Mr. Mitro! They have shame on their bread (Bukë), spread with dr.rami.) Not to mention the millions in five-star hotels and abengier at buzqil! The record was broken by the former socialist opposition, which today has taken the reins of the state on page 7

Only Luan Pobrati was missing

They gather at the Academy of Arts to insult the DP Yesterday, in a half-full hall of the Academy of Arts, a handful of people who had left, been sent away, or been expelled from the Democratic Party at various times gathered to insult it; Nertan Ceka regards them as self-proclaimed “reformers.” The speakers who took the floor noted with satisfaction that their Movement had managed to wrest 3 percent of the votes from the Democratic Party, which, according to them, had gone to the Socialist Party. Although invited, the former persecutor of many of the participants, Luan Pobrati, who held important posts during the dictatorship, was absent from the meeting. According to the program, all for the good of the DP, today the meeting is expected to continue at an important venue and receive wide coverage in all the government media.

Arabi and Kadriet will never escape responsibility

The DP spokesperson responds to the slanders made by the head of the pyramid schemes The Democratic Party spokesperson responded yesterday in this way to the slanders made by the head of the pyramid schemes, Farudin Arapi, published in the newspaper “Koha jonë.” Arapi, the black sheep of the pyramid schemes, announced that Berisha had received 57 million dollars and that his family had benefited from large sums from Gjallica. The fabrications by Arapi and his associate Kadrija will receive the response they deserve in accordance with the law. No member of Berisha’s family has had any kind of connection with any of the pyramid firms. The fabrications concocted by Arapi, who is mired together with his family in the muck of the pyramid schemes, and by Kadrive and Shemsive, with which they seek to lighten their own heinous crime, will never save them from legal responsibility.
