- At yesterday’s meetings between Socialist Party deputies and the people, great dissatisfaction with the Government and support for the Socialist Party were expressed. WHILE PRESIDENT BERISHA DECLARES: “The Government got through the winter...” True: The Government got through the winter in warm offices, in warm houses, in warm airplanes and airports, with warm pockets... WINTER IS FOR THE PEOPLE THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC CHANGES THE OVEN MEKSI Yesterday, leading deputies of the Socialist Party of Albania zotos Namo began, by the end of the day, meetings with the people to discuss and explain the situation created in Albania after the continuing economic-political deterioration. There is a broad and highly spiritual bond between the people and the Socialist Party, but it could also not fail to be noticed in these meetings the anger and impatience of the people toward irresponsible, incapable and corrupt officials, of such a nature that they are driving people to extreme actions. In these meetings, the idea of the urgent need to remove the Meksi government was forcefully expressed. As you will also see from our reports being published, in most of these meetings, with many spontaneous outbursts, the people demand the government’s resignation, on the grounds that it was this government that caused this unacceptable poverty, not only through its incompetence, but also through deliberate acts. There are people who rightly ask: since no one has been exemplary punished for the scandals and speculations, what kind of will is this against scandals and speculations that continue and increase without pause? For a head-of-household mother or a pensioner, the problem of survival is tied to bread. Yesterday’s reports show that today in Albania the main question anyone can ask is: is there bread? Of course there is no bread. In fact, there are many people who do not even have money to buy the bread that is lacking. Therefore, the impatience, revolt and irritation of the people against these frivolous rulers, with whom anger keeps growing, are understandable. The declared step toward liberalizing prices has created even more shock, insecurity and uncertainty than solutions. Only those who think that the market is liberated by decrees, and not by goods and production, can take such decisions. In our conditions, the shops are empty and every day fewer people have money to buy expensive goods. The situation in Albania, for the poor and the majority, is such that one does not dare fall ill, because one cannot buy the medicine. A woman wept bitterly at the Lapraka meeting because she had no money to buy serum for her little child. For people who have no money, the PD government shows once again that it is doing even more for the privileged strata. Meanwhile, the head of state declares that “the government got through the winter.” True, the government got through the winter in warm offices, in warm houses, in warm airplanes and airports, with warm pockets. Winter is for the people. It is enough to listen to the voices of the people at these meetings to understand that the vast majority of the people demand the government’s resignation.

A few days ago, in the meeting hall of the united cooperative of the village[?] ... Socialist Party deputies held a meeting with residents of the area. At the meeting, the great economic difficulties, the lack of bread, rising prices and unemployment were discussed. Many participants said that the current government is not solving people’s daily problems and called for urgent changes. The Socialist deputies were asked to do more to defend the interests of the people.
