WE DO NOT ASK FOR THE EXPROPRIATION OF THE NEW OWNERS BUT FOR THE OWNERSHIP OF AN ENTIRE PEOPLE
Enduring truths, while deception flies...
On 5 January 1993, on another similar occasion and with even more compromising evidence, it was said:
"Old injustices cannot be solved by creating new injustices"
Mr. President, your statement suggests, among other things, that when there are old and new injustices, the law cannot function. This means that there are, and there cannot but be, periods when there is law to eliminate old injustices, when there is law to create new injustices; that is, there is law to exercise violence over the strata that the government cannot tolerate and there is illegality, or rather anti-humanity, over the strata that the regime pampers. Is this if it is fair? Or not, Mr. President?
The answer to that statement, which circulated both in parliament and from the mouths of government propagandists, can be found in a piece published in "RD" on 3 February 1993 under the title "The law definitively abolishes state property." It says, among other things:
"The above law legalizes the fact that the only real owner in Albania is the state. Private property as a separate property has been definitively eliminated from Albania..."
Had the economics professor really thought it through when he promised the Albanians with all his heart that the "state monopoly over everything" was coming to an end, and that the winds of the "market economy" were beginning to blow? Because this law mentioned by "RD" is not a law of state monopoly, but of an even greater state monopoly, starting not from the state in general, but from a politically designated cadre. This is what follows from the implementation of the law and from the very structure of property privatization, which, instead of being an honest process, was turned into a closed and politicized process.
When today’s rulers call private property "sacred," one must ask: whose property? That of those who had the chance and the connections to benefit in conditions of chaos, or that of the majority of the people who were left out of the division? This is the essential issue that PD propaganda seeks to obscure.
Our problem is not a return to the past, but the establishment of social justice and of a property system that does not leave the majority without rights. We do not ask for the expropriation of the new owners, but for the ownership of an entire people.
It is not only a programmatic issue, but reflections on development for former properties -
