SOCIALISTS CANNOT TOLERATE THE PREMISE OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS

- The mechanism of legal proceedings is the punishment of the Meksi government. - Prime Minister Meksi may govern by means of police orders, but political imprisonment. - The threat of the police state will end with the failure of this anti-popular regime and not with the intimidation of our opposition. The document, the confirmation of the withdrawal of the appellate prosecutor from Mr. Nano's file before the court session for the presentation of his claims in the Court of Cassation, clearly showed that the accusations raised against the Chairman of the Socialist Party are lies and that justice has been placed under the pressure of power. This staged political process is increasingly revealing the character of a state vendetta. All this atmosphere shows that the government has no legal argument at all, only political orders. This is why every day we hear more and more statements, threats and arbitrary actions aimed not at revealing the truth, but at frightening the opposition and the citizens who do not agree with the regime. In a democratic country, the prime minister cannot decide the fate of political opponents through the police and subjugated courts. Prime Minister Meksi may temporarily govern by means of police orders, but he cannot justify political imprisonment as a means of governance. The threats of the police state will fail. They will end with the failure of this anti-popular regime and not with the fear of our opposition. Socialists cannot tolerate a prime minister who violates freedoms and human rights, who uses institutions for political attacks and who seeks to silence opponents with fabricated proceedings.

Why Does Albania Not Have a Constitution?

From the work for all: As presented on this page, this article also addresses one of the fundamental problems of the Albanian state: the lack of a genuine constitution. The country continues to be governed by temporary provisions, political interpretations and acts that often conflict with democratic principles. Under conditions in which executive power expands and independent institutions are weakened, the absence of a constitution makes abuse of power easier. This directly affects citizens' rights, the functioning of parliament, the relations between branches of power and legal certainty itself. A constitution is not only a legal text. It is the fundamental contract of political coexistence. Without it, the state remains unstable and democracy unprotected. That is why its delay cannot be seen as a technical matter, but as a deeply political problem.

My better half is not imprisoned

- Interview with the chairman of the socialist group and distinguished deputy Fatos Nano given to the newspaper "Populli Po" - Interview with the chairman of the socialist group and distinguished deputy Fatos Nano given to the newspaper “Populli Po” Po: When did the idea of mocking the figure of Fatos Nano arise? Mr. Nano: I have been connected in the last 10 years with knowledge of the Albanian political scene. In 1952, at the age of 9, I started elementary school “Kongresi i Permetit”. But I do not believe that the interview we are conducting is the appropriate place to go into biographical details. It would be more appropriate to talk about the political climate in the country, about justice and about the challenges facing Albanian democracy. Po: What version do you bring us? Mr. Nano: In Albania there is a deliberate attempt to replace political debate with criminal accusations, the opposition with the accused, and democratic competition with administrative pressure. This is not only a personal matter. It is a problem that affects pluralism and the future of the country. Po: What worries public opinion is that… Mr. Nano: Public opinion has every right to be concerned. When the prosecutor's office and the courts are placed at the service of politics, every citizen feels insecure. That is why our response is not only personal defense, but a stance in defense of democratic standards. Po: Then how do you see the solution? Mr. Nano: With the return of law to law, justice to justice, and politics to free representation. Without these, Albania cannot move forward.

Tax for the television set even for those who do not have a television

In the “according to the people” column, one of the fiscal absurdities of the time is addressed: the payment of the television tax even by families that do not have a television set. This kind of administrative arbitrariness is becoming an example of the way the state burdens the citizen with obligations without logic and without verification. For many families, this is an open injustice. The administration is not content with collecting obligations for real services, but also charges fees to those who are not users. This creates outrage, a lack of trust and the conviction that the citizen is treated only as a paying object.
