Milaim Shefkiu in a column for the paper writes that the last days of election campaign are considered to be the most critical where the promises of political parties become even more absurd but at the same time outdated.
At this period, certain parties have entered a kind of a labyrinth and can’t find the way out while others are already dreaming what they’ll do once they come to power. At the same time, while everyone is busy campaigning, the work in the public administration has come to a standstill. But this, says Shefkiu, is not the worst thing in all this situation.
Yesterday, a 15 year-old boy from a village in Peja municipality died from leukemia while his family waited from the ministry of health to approve funds for medical treatment abroad since last December. When the funds were finally transferred now, the boy did not manage to survive the wait. “Does this need any comment?” asks Shefkiu.
Institutional and moral negligence in this case is unforgivable, writes Shefkiu. He says everything, including the election campaign, can wait but an illness cannot. “To the family that justly accuses the government for the death of their son any justification is in vain”.
