CHAUVINISM and ANTI-NATIONAL POLITICS in the Albanian parliament

HISTORICAL PROLOGUE If written documents and oral testimonies are brought to light, the truth about the undeniable links between the past and the present and the future, then in assessing our near and distant history, the subjective and objective factors that have often given our history not the proper direction but a diverted one would also be clarified and brought to light, forcing it to move along foreign and imposed paths. For precisely this reason, it becomes necessary and quite understandable to speak, even briefly, about the causes and subjective and objective factors that created the premises leading to an anti-national policy in the Albanian parliament in the years 1921-1924. As early as February 1921, the Yugoslav government presented the Albanian government with ultimative demands to hand over Vermosh, Kelmend and Kastrat and to correct the border in the Koplik area. These demands were accompanied by provocations and armed attacks along the northern border. The Albanian government turned to the League of Nations and the Conference of Ambassadors to defend territorial integrity. Against this background, parliamentary debates also took place in which part of the deputies, instead of defending national interests, adopted wavering, conciliatory, and even harmful positions toward Belgrade's demands. According to the author, this policy was not only the result of state weakness, but also of foreign influence and the lack of full national consciousness in a segment of the political class. Further mention is made of attitudes toward the Kosovo issue, the diplomatic pressure of the great powers, internal political rivalries, and the use of these circumstances to justify concessions harmful to the national interest. In the discussions of the time, the clash emerges between those who sought a firm resistance and those who saw compromise as the only path to political survival. The author extends the analysis to relations with Italy, Greece and Yugoslavia, arguing that a part of the Albanian political elite remained dependent on external orientations and incapable of building an independent state strategy. This situation created the ground on which ideas and positions contrary to the interests of the Albanian nation could openly appear in parliament.
