SP leaders have considered these ideas as internal problems of this organization which they themselves may solve. "There are no problems, but there some people who try to create problems. I am convinced that FRESH cannot become a marionette for some to cover up their past," said Meta. The contradictions in the fold of the Youth Forum of SP are a consequence of the disarray created in this party after its great loss in the October 20 local vote, which Meta considered as "a catastrophe for SP" and accused the new SP presidency elected by chairman Fatos Nano. kei/xh/k From the Albanian Telegraphic Agency (ATA) Home Page at http://www.telpress.it/ataAlbanian Telegraphic Agency Directory - Previous Article - Next Article |
