WE WILL USE ALL THE MEANS OF TRADE-UNION STRUGGLE UNTIL THE GENERAL STRIKE
Declaration
Presidium of the Republic 2
Sali Berisha
Speaker of Parliament Pjetër Arbnori
Chairman of the Council of Ministers Aleksandër Meksi
Chairman of the Confederation of Trade Unions of Albania Gezim Kalaja
7. All enterprises in Fier have begun to stop work one after another. In the days following yesterday's mobilization, the situation has worsened even more. Thousands of workers are without work, others without pay, while their families are in increasingly difficult living conditions.
The unions assess that the economic policy pursued so far has not solved the crisis and that the government must take immediate measures to protect production, jobs, and the interests of employees.
If their demands are not taken into account, the trade-union organizations declare that they will use all means of trade-union struggle up to the general strike.

As reported by our newspaper's editorial office in Shkodër, the platform for tomorrow's protest rally of the social coalition could not be set up in front of the prefecture as previously planned, because the police prevented this action. This happened yesterday before noon, and the organizers of the rally were suggested a series of changes to the location of the protest. Yesterday evening, according to the latest reports from Shkodër, the platform had still not been set up.

Empty statements from a police chief
The Albanian Television, since it has distorted and censored our article in the program “Forum”, we are forced to publish our note in full here.
On 26 February, in the TVSH studio, the Deputy Minister of Order, Kudret Çela, in the program “Forum”, expressed his “regret” for the demonstration in the center of Tirana organized by the opposition, but gave no sign of understanding the reasons that force people to take to the streets. Instead, he used old clichés about law and public order.

People need action, not only when we want their votes!
The order to continue helicopter flights to isolated areas is right, but delayed. The residents of these areas cannot be remembered only when elections approach or when power needs propaganda. A consistent policy is needed to connect with these areas, for supply and for health care.
