The property is
sacred. Mafia and its abusers will face the law The government has kept all the promises. Our aims
are always for productivity and toward consciousness and moral, the
development of the society and integrity. This time, therefore, I want to
stop in a great problem, in the verification of titles, what makes a decisive
condition for the property definition, the definitive giving of titles and
the completing of the reformation and ownership on land. This law can be
considered as the law against abuses with the land, or the law against the
Mafia of the land. That’s why it is extremely important. I want to guarantee
all the farmers and the Albanian citizens who had the land according to the
Law 7501, according to the requisites and in respect of this law, that this
process doesn’t touch a centimeter of their land. Any effort to scare them is
simply an effort that the Mafia of the land is doing against this law. The Democratic Party and the coalition of the
parties of majority didn’t agree and won’t agree to change the Law 7501. The
Republican Party, our traditional alley, has always agreed with this attitude
of her alleys. That’s why it is out of any speculation that with this law we
aim to touch even a small piece of land, obtained correctly by the Law 7501.
Yet, it would be a great crime if we would entitle the great abuse with this
law, an abuse that reaches billions of dollars. Thousands of acres have been
obtained dishonestly and against the law. Those who have stripped the land, first of all, are
people on power and I guarantee the Albanian citizens that in this analysis
there is and there won’t be any political tendency of whatever color or
group. Whoever of the authorities, either local or central, who obtained the
land disregarding the law, will face the justice and will definitely loose of
property on it. The second group of great abusers is that of majors, who
disregarding the law 7501 have given others, even the last year, huge pieces
of land without any legal foundation, leaving the proprietors out. None,
therefore, should try to lead astray the 400.000 Albanian families who have
got the land according to the law 7501. The law we have approved sanctions
them definitely the title of ownership and didn’t leave them insecure because
of certain groups of land-stealers, but gives them quickly and definitely the
title of ownership. The vice Prime Minister Genc
Pollo, according to the law, is the President of
the Government Commission for the process of verification. There will also be
formed verification commissions in the prefectures. This process demands
great measurements and a huge work. Mister vice Prime Minister, along with
the Minister of Agriculture and specialists of the area, will have to build a
work program, to give the fastest answer possible to the problem. And without
solving it there won’t be any solution on the problem of ownership. I emphasize that in this process we are not meaning
to touch anyone who got the land according to the law, but our target are the
surfaces sold through corruption by local authorities, surfaces violently
usurped by local or central authorities, and they will go for the fund of
land recompense, to give it back to the proprietors and go on with the
process. In other areas there has been great injustice, while it was
completely possible to avoid. The Law 7501 was very clear on the fact that
whom does the land belong to and many for a person. Now the law will go
through a final verification. This process is of great importance, therefore
we have to get all the financial and human resources and establish all the
rules of cooperation. The digital map we’ve got the last year is a huge help
for these commissions, what permits the measurement in centimeters. We should provide every commission with the map of
the territory, specialists, geometers, topographers, in order to start. I
will appeal all those who have taken the land undeservedly, to give it back.
Let’s determine a period - one month or two - so that they might give the
land back. Otherwise all the penal prerogatives should act powerfully against
those who have given it unjustly as well as against those who have taken it
abusively. Our target is not to punish, but to
reestablish the justice. That’s why we should establish a time in which
everyone who got the land undeservedly might give it back to the commission.
This of course will be a better choice than starting with serious legal
prerogatives, to reestablish this law. I guarantee all the Albanians that
this process, already started with seriousness and responsibility, will go on
without any differentiation, repairing every disorder. We have great goals,
we are for justice, we want to serve all the Albanians, and we want
integration in the Euro-Atlantic structures. Sali Berisha The underage should
be treated better by the State and society One of the concerning
phenomenon is the mistreatment of the underage, by the State as well as by
the society. There are about 300 children who do not go to school, to the
kinder garden, and neither play with their friends.
This because their parents or relatives in Shkoder, are in conflict of
blood-feud. There was found no solution until now, and in many cases,
innocent children have been killed. New and old revenges, supported by the
medieval Canon of Lek Dukagjini,
put even children in their target. Even the Canon was overlooked by killing
often the women. This is a paradox that Albania is living, especially in the
last 18 years. One of those innocent victims is the underage in the picture
nearby. Kristjan Puraj,
born on October 8, 1991, not even 17 years old yet, has to live hiding,
because, though underage, though innocent, though he had to be at school, the
Canon locked him and someone wants to kill him. But, why? His cousin, Mirash Puraj, wounded Xhelal Zoto with a knife, on
March 13 of this year. After arguing with each other, Mirash
stabbed him three times. The victim escaped death and didn’t report to the
police, giving place to the decisions of the Canon, which was revenge,
because blood is paid with blood. Mirash apparently
left Albania, and the family Zoto wants to revenge
on Kristjan Puraj, just
because he is the son of his uncle. This underage, therefore, just like many
of his fellow friends, not only is deprived from
school, society, games or aims for life, but the bullet is waiting for him,
if he comes out. These phenomenons make our way
toward the EU and true democracy even longer. Arben Cubaj
Through the dark labyrinths of revenge
The intellectual Lika facing serious threats Many Albanian intellectuals,
during these 18 years of the so called democracy, have faced serious threats
of their lives and families, just because of their work. They have been
killed, wounded or forced to hit the roads all over the world, in order to
save their lives, though they had no responsibilities, even morally. There
are just the criminals of humanity, as the Prime Minister Berisha
has often accused who are in the Parliament, those who have shot, spied and
deported during dictatorship and today they freeze the reforms for the
integration of Albania in the Euro-Atlantic structures. One of the innocent
victims is the known intellectual Edmond Lika.
Engineer Lika was born in Shkoder on April 2, 1962
and graduated in the University of Tirana in 1988, for textile. From 1988
until 1995 he worked in the tissue fabric in Shkoder as a specialist, as a
responsible of the fabric or technologist. But the anarchist gangs wanted
eliminate him, as they did with many others. It was January 25, 1993, when
unknown people have shot in the quarter called Parrucë,
as known by the inhabitants of Shkodra. One of the
bullets hit the engineer Lika, but fortunately he
escaped death. Though wounded, the anarchists followed him. They menaced him
with phone calls and anonymous letters, to kidnap his wife etc., until he had
to leave toward Italy in 1997. The revenge was obviously undertaken because
of his duty, the honest activity he had as a well-known engineer in the
northern town. Those who had determined to eliminate him, found him even in
Italy. Threats became more serious. They notify him that they would kill his
son. Lastly, this intellectual escaped death miraculously. They probably
found out that he came in Albania and on September 1st, 2008, in Bahçallek, while entering in Shkodra,
unidentified persons shot toward his car, fortunately without touching him.
Edmond Lika, therefore, moved away quickly and
according to his relatives, had to take the airplane and leave the country,
where death expects him, obviously because of his duty. Vasel Gilaj Canon ruling over the law A cruel murder shocked these last days, on September 1st, the main
town of North Albania. Amidst the wholesale market in Dobraç,
at about 10 o’clock was killed the citizen Hysni Shpuza. He was killed for revenge by Besmir
Llampiri, accompanied by his friend, Vildan Dekovi. After the crime,
the murderer moved away quickly, while the present were astonished and
shocked because of what had experienced. Many testimonies witnessed the way
of execution and the author to the police. What we want to talk about, is not the crime but the inability of the State,
not only to establish the order, but mostly for not arresting and hand
murderers over to justice. One of the questioned at the police, as the main
witnesses of this murder, Vildan Dekovi, from the village of Shtoj
i Ri, after testifying what had seen, was set free,
as he was innocent. But the family of the victim started another conflict.
The family Shpuza wants to revenge on Vildan Dekovi, though hundred of testimonies witnessed the murder and reported
to the police that Dekovi had nothing to do with
the crime. The family Shpuza wants to revenge on
the family Dekovi. There was no agreement by the
family Shpuza, to clear the facts, forcing the
family Dekovi to close in. Since the very first
days of this crime with an author and many witnesses, an innocent becomes
victim of the medieval Canon of Lekë Dukagjini, living closed in. This is how people, though innocent, become victims of Canon,
ignorance and the inability of the State to establish the order. Albert Vataj |
