Parliament brings back 1944
By Ilir Bushi
The DP is preparing a form of expropriation, thereby violating the Albanian Constitution in its fundamental articles concerning property. Although yesterday the order from the “pink” command was not put into effect, the scenario has nevertheless been prepared for implementation in a later session. In this case, the ultimatum has been made perfectly clear: the hope of Albanians for an alternative that would make it possible to return property to its lawful owners must be extinguished at any cost. Thus, at a time when public opinion as a whole has been fed the illusion that property will soon go to its owner, precisely during this period the power mafia, as well as the DP organizations, are preparing a stab in the back by legalizing communist-style expropriations, repeating the shameful act in history that began in 1944. Although much time has passed, the socialists and democrats, in order to verify the origins of their identity, have adopted the same macabre schemes in Parliament, which once cost Albanian society a delay measured in entire decades. Now, supposedly in the name of the public interest, the Socialist majority, in secret cooperation with the DP, tried to legitimize shameful paragraphs that justify expropriations and the ravaging of private property. On this occasion, it is clear that this Parliament has not only learned nothing from the tragedies of the past half-century, but is trying to recreate them. This time, however, unlike Enver Hoxha’s firing squads, the Albanian Parliament is trying to hold the Constitution in its hands to justify the slaughter. The PS and DP deputies repeatedly say that “the Constitution will serve as our compass,” and that “public expropriations are supported by constitutional articles.” But this is a lie which, if believed for long, could be considered a fatal blow to the future democratization of social relations in our country. The Republican Party is determined to explain to the public that, inside the Albanian Parliament, the Trojan Horse, constructed by the heirs of communism, is being prepared to undermine the future of Albanians. Despite everything we are playing at today, with mutual objections or political games, the socialists and democrats remain determined to carry out the expropriation strategy to the end, and this is the main reason they are not reacting in every possible way to the constitutional articles on property. On this occasion, the end-of-century traffic lights are showing us that the madness of the pseudo-politicians is taking us backward, toward the abyss of 1944, when the destruction of property and history was planned.
