The government protects Azem’s killers

Today, 677 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 involvement of Fatos Nano’s government in this successor of his in a crime that shook the entire Albanian world. The governments of the former communists who were in power at that time, and the unpunished criminals who took the life of the Right’s leader, show Albanians that they were and are on the side of the murderers, who have names and identities but are untouched by those in power. Democrats and all Albanians who loved and honored Azem Hajdari can never tolerate this fact. 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.

Everyone at “ZP” has gone mad

Everyone at the socialists’ newspaper is going mad. The alarm has also reached Nano’s headquarters in full force, but there everyone shrugs and says, “May God help them, because mere mortals are powerless to save them.” Some veteran contributors to the newspaper, going back to the time of Miti Tona, complained to their party chairman, Fatos Nano, that the newspaper’s team might bring the PS down too. “But what’s wrong with them?” Nano asked. “Well, they wander through the corridors talking to themselves, and one says that I am Nonda Bulka, another Petro Marko or Haki Stërmilli, but there are those who say I am Kadri Hazbiu, Mehmet Shehu, or Pilo Peristeri,” the veterans said in trembling voices. “I’ve seen that ‘madness’ in the newspaper,” Nano told the veterans, “but those at ‘ZP’ told me it was Dhimitër Shuteriqi’s pseudonym during the time of the League of Prizren.”
