Albanians, sincerely and with contempt for the opposition’s blind bitterness, will proudly and respectfully remember this date: 3 April 1992, the day when in the Albanian Parliament, Sali Berisha was voted President of the Republic of Albania. This major act of our Albanian political democracy was crowned by the votes of the first representatives of the Albanian people, emerging from the free and pluralist elections of 22 March 1992. For the first time in the history of this country, the head of state was elected by the free and democratic vote of deputies elected through a fair electoral process. Sali Berisha was voted President of the country with 96 votes, against 19 votes against and 3 invalid votes. The following day the newly elected President took the oath before the People’s Assembly. In his first speech as President of the Republic, he set out the program for the democratization of Albania, the liberation of society from totalitarianism, the establishment of the rule of law, the market economy and Albania’s integration into European institutions. Mr Berisha’s election to the highest office in the state was the direct result of the free will of the Albanian people expressed on 22 March 1992, when the Democratic Party won the pluralist elections and took responsibility for governing the country. It was the end of a long period of dictatorship and the beginning of a new democratic era. At that time, the country was facing a severe economic situation, with many shortages, a devastated administration and serious social consequences. The election of the new President represented not only a political change, but also the hope for a national and moral rebirth. In the democratic memory of the nation, this date remains unforgettable.

Gli albanesi, sinceramente e con disprezzo per l’amarezza cieca dell’opposizione, ricorderanno con orgoglio e rispetto questa data: il 3 aprile 1992, il giorno in cui nel Parlamento albanese Sali Berisha fu eletto Presidente della Repubblica d’Albania. Questo grande atto della nostra democrazia albanese fu coronato dai voti dei primi rappresentanti del popolo albanese, usciti dalle elezioni libere e pluraliste del 22 marzo 1992. Per la prima volta nella storia di questo Paese, il capo dello Stato fu eletto con il voto libero e democratico dei deputati provenienti da un processo elettorale onesto. Sali Berisha fu eletto Presidente con 96 voti, contro 19 contrari e 3 voti nulli. Il giorno seguente il Presidente neoeletto prestò giuramento davanti all’Assemblea Popolare. Nel suo primo discorso come Presidente della Repubblica, espose il programma di democratizzazione dell’Albania, la liberazione della società dal totalitarismo, l’instaurazione dello stato di diritto, l’economia di mercato e l’integrazione dell’Albania nelle istituzioni europee. La sua elezione alla più alta carica dello Stato fu il risultato diretto della libera volontà del popolo albanese espressa il 22 marzo 1992, quando il Partito Democratico vinse le elezioni pluraliste e assunse la responsabilità di governare il Paese. Fu la fine di un lungo periodo di dittatura e l’inizio di una nuova epoca democratica. In quel momento, il Paese affrontava una grave situazione economica, numerose carenze, un’amministrazione in rovina e pesanti conseguenze sociali. L’elezione del nuovo Presidente rappresentava non solo una rotazione politica, ma anche la speranza di una rinascita nazionale e morale. Nella memoria democratica della nazione, questa data resta indimenticabile.]

Chronicle of a foretold sale Who sold Dokle and Rrush sold Dokle! Will “ZP” write today about Dokle? Will it take back what it defended? There is no doubt that it will not. “ZP” has sold Dokle. The whole story of “D” and “R” shows that these people know how to sell their comrades, causes and even themselves for immediate interest. Today they are silent about Dokle, tomorrow they will be silent about anyone else. It is a familiar chronicle of political cynicism and servility to narrow interest. In this case, Dokle is no longer the victim, but the example of a dirty game where names, newspapers and parties are used to cover up the real scandals. Today’s silence is yesterday’s admission of guilt. [English translation: Chronicle of a foretold sale. Who sold Dokle and Rrush sold Dokle! Will “ZP” write today about Dokle?

Riprenderà ciò che ha difeso? Non c’è dubbio di no. “ZP” ha venduto Dokle. Tutta la storia di “D” e di “R” dimostra che queste persone sanno vendere gli amici, le cause e perfino se stesse per un interesse immediato. Oggi tacciono su Dokle, domani taceranno su chiunque altro. È una cronaca nota di cinismo politico e di servilismo verso l’interesse ristretto. In questo caso, Dokle non è più la vittima, ma l’esempio di un gioco sporco in cui nomi, giornali e partiti vengono usati per coprire i veri scandali. Il silenzio di oggi è l’ammissione di colpa di ieri.]

The first impressions of what I read from the “RD” editorial office are the impressions and thoughts of a person who spent difficult years in internment. They show not only personal pain, but also a moral confrontation with a figure that symbolizes an entire regime. For those who suffered, Macbeth is not a literary figure, but the name of a system that brought violence, fear and persecution. In this sense, the reply to Nexhmije Hoxha is a reply to the very legacy of the dictatorship. [English translation: Reply to Nexhmije Hoxha, Lady Macbeth by the hand of a former political internee.

In questo senso, la risposta a Nexhmije Hoxha è una risposta alla stessa eredità della dittatura.]
