The government protects Azem’s killers

Today, 668 days since the murder of the right-wing leader Every day that passes since the murder of Azem Hajdari, the symbol of democracy and pluralism, proves the complicity of Fatos Nano’s government and its successor in the crime that shook the entire Albanian world. The governments of the former communists, which left the criminals who took the life of the Right’s Leader free and undisturbed, show Albanians that they have been and remain on the side of the murderers, who have names and surnames but are untouched by those in power. Democrats and all the Albanians who loved and honored Azem Hajdari can under no circumstances tolerate this fact. The government must either capture the criminals and bring them to justice, or publicly declare that it itself committed the murder of Azem Hajdari.
