January 21, yesterday and today!
By Elvi FUNDO
On January 21, 2011, the then opposition led by Edi Rama, organized a protest, or a demonstration, as the Prime Minister would call it today. Thousands of people gathered on the boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, there were violent events, the police were massacred by protesters, according to political orders given by the leaders of the Socialist Party.
Republican Guard forces then tragically kill 4 innocent people. The first person in charge and the first organizer was Edi Rama. 10 years ago he took people there, abandoned them on the boulevard and ran away by himself, didn’t stand at the top of the crowd, and didn’t turn out to protect his supporters.
He allowed them to clash and for almost 5-6 hours with the police, the use of an unstoppable violence from the crowd on the police, and then from the police on the crowd. Edi Rama is today the Prime Minister of Albania, and today after 10 years, there is still no justice. So he got what he wanted, the power! He became Prime Minister but didn’t bring justice, prosperity or development as he promised his supporters at the time, but sowed corruption and PPP, after the alliance with Ilir Meta. Ilir Meta was at that time Minister of Economy, taking the place of Dritan Prifti, while was published the famous video of the bribe of 700.000 euros for Gimi, a video interception carried out by Dritan Prifti against Ilir Meta.
A video that showed quite a bit how the structures of the SMI functioned, its leader, the ministers, and where the Albanian state had degraded. The video provoked a harsh reaction from Ilir Meta, who called Edi Rama the head of the spy sect, drug users and the like, but forgot any accusation. In fact, the people in that protest were brought out by Edi Rama for Ilir Meta’s bloc, but Rama also forgot Meta’s bloc. The two formed an alliance after 2 years, and came to power receiving almost 1 million votes, over the blood of those killed, over the January 21 bloc, and over spies.
And here we are today. Ilir Meta is the president elected by the socialists, that is, from those who came out in protest for the corruption bloc of Ilir Meta. And today Ilir Meta wants to overthrow them from power, and with whom does he want to do this? With Lulzim Basha, Minister of Interior of January 21, the man who didn’t came out from his house for hours and days. At that time he was very scared, and surrendered to the office of the former Minister of Interior, then Minister of Transport, Sokol Olldashi.
He was scared and shivering, his face was yellow. He was the man in charge of the police force that had killed 4 people, 4 innocent victims, supporters of the Socialist Party who had come out to demand the punishment of Ilir Meta for his corruption, and they were killed on the boulevard while Basha was Minister of Interior and headed the Republic Guard. Today, Lulzim Basha is in opposition, and he has taken Ilir Meta in the coalition together with his bloc of corrupt affairs and his party, and he is aiming to come to power to overthrow Edi Rama, the one who came to power with the bloc of Ilir Meta and the blood of the 4 killed persons.
Lulzim Basha is also stepping on their blood, this time he wants to use it just like Rama to come to power, but otherwise, taking with him the one that people went to protest 10 years ago, Ilir Meta, was today is the president elected by the socialists. And Meta together with Lulzim Basha, who was the Minister of Interior on January 21, want to come to power. This is January 21 of 10 years ago, this is January 21 today, where Edi Rama, Ilir Meta and Lulzim Basha had both their hands stained with blood’s victims.
People protested for Ilir Meta, organized by Edi Rama, and the Minister of Interior was Lulzim Basha. Then Edi Rama joined Ilir Meta and ruled with him for 4 years, and now Meta is taken over by Lulzim Basha, but on the way Rama and Basha also govern together.
So these are the ones who are 3 stained with the blood of the victims of January 21, an event which has not yet brought to justice those responsible. If this were to happen, only then would be calmed down the souls of their families, but perhaps would begin a new era in Albanian politics. But this era does not start, as Edi Rama doesn’t love today’s justice, as
he is afraid of facing justice tomorrow./CNA.al

The names/ CNA.al reveals the candidates of the SMI list
A day before the submission of the names officially to the CEC, CNA.al has revealed the names of the SMI candidates who will lead the lists of the districts. The SMI led by Monika Kryemadhi will run in a separate coalition, not with Basha’s DP, a scheme to increase the number of seats, or to get as many votes as possible from the left SMI, which could harm the Socialist Party.
CNA.al brings below the main candidates, ie those whom the SMI calls safe. According to the votes received in three pairs of elections with the regional proportional system SMI has had a continuous increase.
In 2009, the SMI and its coalition received 84.000 votes and 4 seats, which they used to join the government with former Prime Minister Sali Berisha. In 2013, in coalition with the Socialists, the SMI received 180.000 votes and 16 seats.
In 2017 alone against the Rama-Basha alliance, the SMI led by Ilir Meta for the third time saw an increase, going 225 thousand votes and 19 seats. The April 25 elections, are the first under the leadership of Monika Kryemadhi, who has ousted many of its founders, leaders and former MPs from the party. The SMI comes up in this election with new names in some counties, but most of the names are the remaining loyalists of Kryemadhi and Meta.

Panic in Democratic Party/Anxiety and stress about lists
Panic situation among many politicians and names claiming to be part of the Alliance for Change plus DP coalition lists. Although in the former SHQUP building doesn’t have much movement, panic prevails in many names that claim to be in the winning part of the list that Lulzim Basha will submit tomorrow at midnight to the CEC.
Anxiety and stress have also the allied parties that have signed the coalition, but have not specified the locations. Some of them have a problem with Luli Basha, as he has often lied and betrayed them. In panic are many other names that hope to be part of the lists, but looks very far from the winning places like Eno Bozdo, Fatbardh Kadilli, Fitim Zekthi, Andrea Mano, Roland Bejko, Luan Baci, Endri Hasa etc.
These are names, and some of them have always claimed but could never be winners, but also others who have been part of the lists, but most likely are in the red zone or out of the list. There are many other names, but we are not mentioning them. You will understand who they are after their explosion when they learn that Luli Basha left again with her finger in her mouth./CNA.al

DP’s candidates for deputies/ Irfan Hysenbelliu’s list comes out
Today, the daily newspaper “Panorama” has published a list of Democratic Party candidates for the April 25 parliamentary elections. While is expected to be handed over to the CEC on Monday, Irfan Hysenbelliu has hurried to secure everything.
After publishing his personal list and the preferences he has, after solving the problems with the SMI and placing his candidates where he wanted, he has now started to do the same with the DP. In the list below you will see a bunch of names, mainly products of Henri Çili of the European University of Tirana, who stand out at the top of the lists.
The names of the people who have already been made public and confirmed by Lulzim Basha himself, and those preferred by Irfan Hysenbelliu, are from the former officials that Basha had in the Municipality of Tirana, people who work for Hysenbelliu or his businesses, and other Lulzim Basha’s servile.
We are not writing the names of the list, but we are publishing the pages of the newspaper. Meanwhile, we ask the readers not to take the whole list too seriously, as only the part made public by Lulzim Basha is credible. And in this case Irfani Hysenbelliu is not to blame either, because it may happen that the list is overturned.
Although so far, as CNA.al has reported several times almost 50 names, so the winning list of most counties is almost confirmed, except a few small changes in any county. Anyway, read the list of Irfan Hysenbelliu’s candidates. Especially it should be read by democrats, as they will see there people of Henri Çili and the employees of Irfan Hysenbelliu.
Some will run for the SMI, some for the Democratic Party, and in the end defeat seems to be guaranteed. However, we shouldn’t take it so seriously. We must believe and appreciate only the list that is already official. Because the truth is that Luli Basha doesn’t believe him, but neither does Irfan Hysenbelliu./CNA.al
