Monika reinstates the compound on the Durrës beach

Monika is inheriting the compound Enver built The prisoners of the governing Meta couple A story among the most sordid has begun to be spun by the governing Kryemadhi-Meta couple at the compound near Durrës beach. Monika’s objective: nationalization of the privatized villas or a return to “Enver’s Compound.” Greek songs sung by government officials, with the Chinese ambassador as conductor, on the day Luan Hajdaraga fell from the fig tree. Who ordered the guards to keep quiet about the compound?! A “fine” for anyone disturbing the peace of the Meta couple’s offspring!

The government protects Azem’s killers

Today, 700 days since the murder of the December leader. Each passing day since the murder of Azem Hajdari, the symbol of democracy and pluralism, proves the involvement of Fatos Nano’s government and his successor in the crime that shocked the entire Albanian world. The government of the former communists, which leaves free and unpunished the criminals who took the life of the December Leader, shows Albanians that they have been and remain on the side of the killers, 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 arrest the criminals and bring them to justice, or publicly declare that it itself committed the murder of Azem Hajdari.
