Today it is a shame to be a socialist

As I watch videos of young people being dragged away, I feel ashamed of the criminal left of this country. My stomach churns every time I see old socialists, so...

Players not paid, Vllaznia in disarray: team boycotts training, Sinani resigns

The issue of unpaid salaries at Vllaznia has erupted. It was in the air, but today the situation has become irreversible. Vllaznia's footballers have not taken to the training field today. The reason is the financial situation at the club and the non-payment of salaries, which has led to the players' reaction by boycotting the scheduled session.

But the crisis hasn't stopped in the locker room.

In a development that further aggravates the red-blue situation, Vioresin Sinani has resigned from the position of the club's Sports Director, linking the decision to the situation created in the team.

Thus, a financial problem is taking on sporting and institutional dimensions. At a time when the team should be focused on matches and season objectives, Vllaznia is faced with a situation where players choose not to train, while one of the club's directors leaves his post.

Today's boycott is a clear signal that the dissatisfaction has no longer remained at the level of conversations within the group. When footballers do not take to the field due to salaries, the financial issue directly affects the functioning of the team. And Sinan's resignation makes the picture even more complicated.

It now remains to be seen how the club will react and whether a solution will be found to restore normality to the team. Because in football, a salary delay can start as a financial problem, but can very quickly turn into a problem in the dressing room, the bench and, ultimately, the results on the field.

Veton Surroi: The crisis in Albania in seven points

One solution would be to create the legal and political conditions for free and fair elections next year. For the elections to produce a way out of the crisis, a special package of electoral guarantees should be prepared that, among other things, would limit in advance the influence of illicit money, the misuse of state resources, and inequality in access to the media.
