On Monday, the chairman of the Socialist Party, along with his colleagues from the leadership and family members, were at the prison. After they left, around lunchtime, they were given an initial piece of news: the escort was transferring the prisoner from one prison to another. The uproar, protests, and the outburst of complaints from the many people who had come there to ask about their party chairman were natural and justified, even though no answer was expected from anyone. For now, only two things are clear: first, that the removal of the chairman of the Socialist Party from one prison to another is a normal administrative action; second, that at the same time, given the scale this transfer took and the uncertainty surrounding the escort, it has cast a large shadow of doubt over the way the Nano case is being handled. The Socialist Party has not asked, nor is it asking, for preferential treatment for its chairman. It is only demanding the enforcement of the law, the protection of human rights, and the avoidance of any arbitrariness. This is not only a political demand, but a civic one. In this sense, the Nano case has moved beyond the limits of an individual or a political force and has become a test of the rule of law itself. In Albanian public opinion and beyond, the question is being raised whether justice is acting independently or is being influenced by political interests. This question cannot be left unanswered. Even less can it be met with anger toward those who demand transparency. Every evasion, every ambiguity, every official silence feeds mistrust and seriously damages democracy. Fatos Nano is the chairman of the largest opposition force in the country. Every action taken against him has unavoidable political resonance. Therefore, state institutions must be aware that their responsibility is greater than usual. The issue is not privilege, but standards. Against this backdrop, the reactions of socialists, intellectuals, and many citizens cannot be called either excessive or unfounded. They express concern that a necessary democratic balance is being disturbed. If the opposition is struck beyond the law, then it is not only the opposition that is struck: the democratic game itself is compromised. Therefore, the Nano affair is not a matter of one individual and one party. It is a key issue for Albanian democracy.

- The Conservatives have not dimmed the shine of the English left in halfing - The British Labour Party elected its new leader on Wednesday, Tony Blair, 41, who takes the place of John Smith, the former chairman who died suddenly two months ago. Blair received 57 percent of the delegates' votes, while his opponent John Prescott won 24 percent. Tony Blair thus became the youngest Labour chairman in the history of the party. Blair, who enjoys broad support in the trade unions and in the urban electorate, is considered the new face of Labour and one of the most promising figures in British politics. His program aims to modernize the party, broaden its electoral base, and bring the left closer to the center. The Conservatives, although still in power, do not appear calm in the face of this change. The British press immediately noticed that with Tony Blair, the Labour Party is trying to regain the lost ground and the shine of earlier years. (Continued on page 9)
