TELEGRAM TO COMRADE RAMIZ ALIA SECRETARY OF THE CC OF THE PPSH The executive committee and the workers of the copper mines of Rubik, with deep concern, have learned that in the conditions of democratization of life in the country and political pluralism, some demands have been raised by a part of the youth that run counter to the program of the Party of Labor of Albania and conflict with the feelings of the majority of our people. They not only do not represent the wishes of the broad masses of our workers, but also seriously undermine the great achievements and successes of socialism, above all the stability of the socialist order, which were fulfilled with so much sacrifice and blood in the struggle for national liberation and the building of socialism in our country. We demand that stricter measures be taken against those who organize these actions, so that they do not happen again. We are in favor of the further democratization of the country, but this must be done within the framework of socialism and not destroy it, as is being demanded by a part of the students. 12.2.1991 Adil Faco from Rubik
