Today, 697 days since the killing of the December leader Every day that passes since the killing of Azem Hajdari, the symbol of democracy in Albania, makes it clearer to public opinion, both national and international. Nano is the first and the last in his government’s ranks to make defamatory accusations in order to deny responsibility for this killing. When we were asking for accountability, his government was accusing and threatening journalists with death. He deceives Albanians with vile lies that Fatos Nano had gone to England and that the President of the Republic was allegedly illegal. All this in order to avoid the truth of it. While the government killed Azem Hajdari, the symbol of democracy in Albania, it must either publicly declare whether it itself will take responsibility for the killing of Azem Hajdari.
