OPINION
The rent of spoilt Horhe
The voiceless in the machinery of Gruevski’s criminal Family, the man who we compared to a decorative plant that is put in corners at home. Or Horhe, which is thought to be according to a character in the Monty Python comedy, though the genesis of the nickname is more serious. A colleague of mine from the media called him this way because he won his first mandate in the style of the arranged elections in the South American dictatorship countries, writes Xhabir Deralla.
Law? Justice?
A former president said to me in one occasion: “The law faculty is the source of all the problems in our country”. I don’t know if this is so (it sounds a bit apocalyptic), but in my experience as well (not just from the above two examples) and from Priebe’s findings, and also from what we see every day in our judicial system, even if it doesn’t cause problems (and it does), it’s clear that it doesn’t produce many solutions to the problems, writes Aleksandar Krzalovski.
