Terrorist Meta arrests the DP secretary in Krujë

Terrorist Meta ordered last night the arrest of the DP secretary for the city of Krujë, Arben Muho. He was detained together with the head of the Independent Union, Engjëll Kollaku. The decision to arrest the DP secretary for Krujë was entirely political and there was no other reason. Meta has thus taken revenge on the city of Krujë, which voted for the DP candidate in the October 1 local elections; only after continuous and unrelenting manipulation in the second round was it possible for the SP candidate to seize the mayor’s office by force. In this way, the Albanian gangster prime minister continues to inflict violence and terror on opposition opponents. Meta will not give up on putting the opposition in handcuffs and on the killings he began on Independence Day in Tropojë.

The government protects Azem’s killers

Today, 815 days since the murder of the December leader Every day that passes since the murder of Azem Hajdari proves the involvement of Fatos Nano’s government and its representatives in the crime that shook the entire Albanian world. The government must either finally bring the criminals to justice, or relinquish all power, since it is itself responsible for the murder of Azem Hajdari. Portrait of Azem Hajdari

Paul M. Weyrich: “Kolin Powell is a great friend of yours. We will do everything in our power. I very much agree with what we discussed, and I have a great deal of information about what is happening in Albania today. I have maintained ties with Berisha and continue to do so, as I often speak with him on the phone. I’ll tell you something that is no secret among us: the group we belong to is all with you, with democracy.”
