2. Restrictive observations of the decision are removed; it is proposed that the law be urgently reviewed The chairman, from yesterday's official visit to Kavajë and Durrës, after a meeting with residents and local leaders, stressed the need for the earlier restrictive decisions to be reviewed as quickly as possible. According to participants, such measures have created discontent and have worsened the economic situation of families. In the discussions, there was talk of shortages on the market, transport difficulties, and supply problems. It was proposed that the existing law be urgently reviewed, adapting its provisions to the new conditions of pluralism and the market economy. It was also requested that the administration not use punitive measures against private entities that operate according to the law, while controls should be exercised only over concrete violations and not over free economic initiative.[?]

— If this law is delayed for political and electoral reasons, that is an unacceptable and anti-democratic stance — To continue today's outdated struggle against the free press and the opposition press means denying pluralism and the development of democratic processes. These were the views expressed at a special meeting of the leaders of pluralist newspapers, regarding the situation created by the delay in parliamentary approval of the law on the press and the media. The meeting concluded that such delays also hinder the creation of a clearer climate for the holding of free elections. In this context, it was emphasized that any kind of obstacle to the independent press must be avoided and that all media must operate under equal legal conditions. It was stressed that pensions and social problems cannot be used as a pretext to block important laws of the democratic transition.[?]

They say that the true socialist is the one who does not lose reason even when he loses power. And in that sense, the political climate of recent days is proving that in the country not only parties are clashing, but also different ways of understanding the state, the law, and free speech. Those who until yesterday called pluralism an irreversible victory now appear worried as soon as the free press begins to ask questions about the responsibilities of government. The ordinary citizen asks for bread, work, peace, and law; politics, by contrast, often offers noise, bitterness, and delays. And when parliament delays laws, when ministries react with unclear orders, when the pensioner waits and the journalist is threatened, then satire has the right to say that something is wrong.

At yesterday's session of the Assembly, several issues were discussed related to public order, the activity of extremist groups, and international cooperation against terrorism. Various speakers called for Albanian institutions to step up vigilance and cooperate with European partners to prevent destabilizing acts. The debate also mentioned the need to clarify the responsibilities of security bodies and to avoid the political use of accusations. It was said that the fight against terrorism must not become a means of restricting civil liberties, but rather a legal duty that protects life and constitutional order. (Continues on page 9)
