The government protects Azem’s killers

Today, 670 days since the murder of the December leader 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 its successor in the crime that shook the entire Albanian world. The governments of the former communists, who are free and untroubled, while the criminals who took the December Leader’s life remain so, show Albanians that they have been and are on the side of the killers, who have names and surnames but are beyond the reach of those in power. Democrats and all Albanians who loved and honored Azem Hajdari can in no way 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.
