In mourning, the Albanians have forgotten their quarrels and feuds, while Berisha and Meidani traveled angrily to Calcutta The symbol of this century’s global humanism, Mother Teresa, will be accompanied today to Paradise by hundreds of well-known international figures from religion, politics, the arts, science, and charity. It is perhaps the first case since the death of Christ in which the whole world is collectively seeing off a holy soul that gave her life to Humanity. For Mother Teresa loved the world so much that she sanctified it, so that whoever believes in it may not perish but have eternal life. To accompany Mother Teresa, the high-ranking politicians of her country have also landed in Calcutta, the President of the opposition and the opposition under the name PD. Foreign media commented on the visit of our opposition politicians, describing it as a "political visit", even though Mother Teresa, as a distinguished daughter of the Albanian nation, never preached politics, but only humanism and charity, in the name of God. In mourning, Albanians have historically forgotten their quarrels and feuds in order to honor the dead, but our politicians not only do not even think of doing this, they seek to profit from the dead. Berisha tried to prevent them from traveling together to Calcutta, and the travel adventure was described as an expression of pure opposition! Mother Teresa would surely have "shuddered inwardly" when two representatives of her nation gave her their final farewell, while in the funeral atmosphere they would not recognize one another and among them Indians, Arabs, Ukrainians, Chinese, or Americans would stand. The famous benefactor spent her whole life trying to unite and ennoble peoples and not hide her Albanian identity, while the class of Albanian politicians, instead of brotherhood, peace, and harmony, preach division and primitivism, thereby endangering not only the political identity but also the national identity. Forgive them, Mother Teresa, for they do not know what they are doing! May God be forever with You and with the Albanians!
