UNDERLINE Not perhaps the last but the first attempt at slander, dressed up under the guise of “indignation,” a purge from within the ranks, in fact meant to defame and to prompt slander against impurity. Slanderers are something else; they are trying to split and disintegrate the left, using and accusing as such a weapon. On this basis, no healthy relations can arise. “Zëri i Popullit,” not even in the case of the deception of the magazine “Rilindja Demokratike,” would be eclipsed. Precisely, it would not censor, to put into circulation, while hiding or at the same time setting aside what is called information, since in the last days of the week various institutions have published matters on different issues. Only those who come out with such accusations want to take this matter there. To call the editorial “Whom does his arrival serve and to whom is it needed?” or to connect it with their adventurers, with woolly experience, in order to take such a decision. Never and nowhere should such insinuations, even if they are the same as those of his lawyer.

If we are all on the same side, we must underline that the accusations being made are not for everyone. We have never reached such a point, to keep, they should have died as victims, but we war his lawyer.
