The government - the biggest pyramid of theft and fraud

The people have no confidence that those who caused the deep crisis can solve it Read on page 3 A call from the Socialist Party of Albania to today’s government policy, which is deliberately oriented by its decisions in favor of positioning clans in the alienation of national assets and their private exploitation in an anti-national manner. We say that this, linked to the destabilization of the state’s activity in the market, is the whole that today comes “masked” as an individual “miracle” of so-called “enterprise,” hiding the truth of the losses of the public interest and national assets. We say that all this, linked to the further rise in the government’s unpopularity among the people, is especially evident when it comes to important areas of financing, such as pensions and services, etc., in which the government acts with outright robbery and with calculated aims of further ruin for consumers. 1- To characterize the government’s theft and legal cunning regarding the bankruptcy of the Republic, with extension in question and especially with procedures for bankruptcy, making it wealthy in a situation not at all detached from ruinous calculations at the expense of consumers. Iavor e shkoqesive të pashm[?], të pasur e zgjas[?]sime të falimeve të kalkuluara nga ndihma ende të konsumatorëve. The Central Bank and all state banks incriminated in the deep destruction of their reserve fund, to the detriment of Albanian citizens, must be held criminally and civilly responsible. This path must be pursued with legal determination against criminal banking activity, deliberately flooding and releasing false money into circulation in the country, turning it into a national financial swamp. All this must be followed by the criminal and civil responsibility of the Central Bank and state banks and all state structures, up to the governmental justice of the type of a national criminal masterpiece. A full reassessment of the government’s destructive, banking, and speculative activity must be carried out and the artificial rise in prices without basis must be analyzed. 5- To make possible a change in the penal suffering of the year 1997 and the financial administration of the country.
