The murderous silence of the Albanian press

Charles McGonigal

The Prime Minister of Albania is directly implicated in a bribe of 225 thousand dollars for license work and lobbying against the Albanian opposition. This was proven yesterday afternoon when the District of Columbia Attorney's Office in Washington indicted an FBI agent named McGonigal.

Albanians have heard this name for months in a row during the past year. There are detailed facts down to hotel schedules and restaurants, where the most important is the dark line of a corrupt American agent and former Albanian security, as a representative of the government, to kill democracy in Albania. And they are almost there. How and why is very simple. It is enough to look at the Albanian press today and you will notice that 99% of the websites do not even mention it at all. It is the event that requires an almost proverbial sense of social existence, but almost 99% of the press does not speak. It is such precious material for a continental scandal, but the press is silent.

Are you afraid? Not at all! The thing is that they have been paid to remain silent and that is what they are doing. Even from the Prosecutor's Office of Albania, there is no indication that this Institution, for which the Albanians invested almost up to a Christian sacrifice, gallery with files, so half of them are still in social enmity, due to the inaction of the law.

But ordinary people, just enter this address... Washington DC: phone number etc. (202) 252-7566. Or email USAO-DC, click McGonigal and you'll see street gems and gangos like the ones dominating the streets of Quito, Ecuador today.

To understand whether or not we still have democracy, ask yourself who should an Albanian government account to? That such is democracy, accountability, law, state, open society. To whom then, that, everything passes silence? Or with distractions for Saliu's "craziness" or Mona's plastic surgeries. Whose body is it responsible for? What social status. Is a prime minister in a democracy vulnerable or godly? To whom is the government accountable? You? Never, it is considered a sheep, is thrown from a five-millennium at the end of the year. The opposition, anyway..., has been crushed. He has occupied the Assembly. He castrated the president. He bought the press. And then?

Thanks to Albania's liberal democracy after the 90s, today a major defect has appeared on the scene, the impunity of the former security, the staff of the penal colony of the dictatorship. This caste that today manages not only your sweat and blood but also your attitude, has the courage to kill democracy in Albania in cold blood with the Kremlin's methods. On the other hand, propaganda has also done its job, better punished than with Saliu. Alternatives may be there, inside, above and beyond Sali, but thanks to this propaganda, no one looks at them anymore. Nobody!
