KURBAN/ The chairman of the PS analyzes more than 20 public figures in his book What he says about Ilir Meta and Fatos Lubonja. Impressions of journalists and politicians in the book The news In Edi Rama’s Kurban, many figures are not mentioned. But more than 20 of them have been carefully analyzed. Shqiptarja.com brings what the head of the PS thinks about the people he has worked with over all these years. Here are some passages from the book. By EDI RAMA Kristaq’s advice Kristaq Rama: Nothing is more valuable than leaving behind a good memory Edi, how they see him Was there another Edi Rama or was it me? Of course it was me, but I am no longer that person, Andi Bushati would say About Albert Brojka We have no funds to fix the ceiling, said predecessor Albert Brojka as he sat down beside the bucket, lifting his eyes with half-open mouth toward the sky I lost Fatos Lubonja from politics Because I forgot the swamp beneath the balcony of the house. How could I forget it, I have it right there, given the land and how long after the end of this account it will still be there, the other side of the medal of success, the other image of the story of change, indeed the truth itself, Fatos Lubonja would say sarcastically. Fatos is a dear friend whom I lost when I entered the political arena.

Later, with the nakedness at first a very respectful one, the perversities turned into an instrument of political struggle during the catharsis and the infamous KPD of 2001, and then the unbelievable surprise of his flirtation with the frivolous and...

Coffee with Edi BY ANILA BASHA Hopeless Kurban Two days ago the doctor received me in his office. Yesterday, the meeting was with the PS chairman in opposition. Me: Hello, chairman. I came to talk about Kurban. I read it in one sitting. After all, 400 pages in two months do not make either editorials or Facebook or Twitter posts. I read the book. I also saw the note you wrote for me in the book. “Mashpresë”.... I have many dilemmas about the hopeless dedication. Someone told me that after the kurban, not after your Kurban, but after the ram slaughtered at the feet of the municipality, where the militants, while the building was collapsing, celebrated the victory of the new chairman belonging to the DP, where the new lists of jobs in the administration were drawn up, where you left the administration open because all the directors resigned without anyone asking them; there, in that municipality where to this day the buildings for businesses that want to continue their activity should not be burdened, but the head of the construction police places them as he pleases because he does not care about Lul or Bash, so right there, in the municipality you just left, chaos is happening. Many right-wingers today are disappointed with the way Tirana is being governed. You, chairman of the PS, no longer make even the courtesy call when you react to these things happening in the municipality. Not because you have not heard publicly what I am saying, but because you have made no reaction to them. Not one! You have dealt with a kurban. With a ram slaughtered at the doors of the municipality. Simply, it is hopeless, if the mentality of governing our capital does not change. But we are not hopeless. Because we think that tomorrow things will get better. He: Ms. Basha, I know the problems you just mentioned, but I am not the mayor. The people voted, Sashenka stole, the internationals decided. Me- If you define this country with Sashenka’s words, I can say that even the Kurban itself is hopeless. (The conversation with the PS chairman is imaginary)

DOCUMENTS ARE REVEALED Facsimile from the archive of the Ministry of Interior BY MAKS VELO The interrogation sessions, unexpected and shocking, followed one another. Having no previous experience, I tried to collect myself in the face of the continuous psychological blows dealt to me by the Shkodër investigator. During those months, I somehow got used to his manner, but what I heard that morning at the end of March shocked me. He read me the expert report drawn up by Kujtim Buza, Foto Stamo, and Skënder Milori. Two of the... On page 14
