The President of Albania, Ilir Meta, was at the famous Bektashi Tekke this Saturday, in Sarisalltik.

The President joined the devotees in this place that is considered holy.

He lit candles with Baba Mondi, the Head of the World Bektashi Order.

Meta commented the Venice opinion by saying that the Golden Lion of Venice is not afraid of the Venice Commission.

Meta compared himself to the winged lion, the Venetian symbol in the Middle Ages.

“Congratulations to the Bektashi believers, their loved ones. their families and to all Albanians.

Our religious holidays are moments of unity and joy for everyone. They allow us to express our reverence and respect tp God, but they also transmit Albania’s well-known message of love and harmony among religions. “- President Meta said.

“The Ashura holiday symbolizes the reverence of our martyrs, their devotion for the most sublime sacrifice, always for the sake of humanity, for harmony and social peace.

This day reminds us that the ruling class needs more patriotism, dedication, justice, responsibility, spiritual warmth and generosity for citizens.

We need to offer each other more protection, understanding, hope, and care, but first and foremost we need to show this to the families in need, the orphans, the elderly and the disabled. ” President Meta declared.

“The time we are living in, political debates aside shows a future that is becoming each day more hopeless for most Albanians.

The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.

This climate of poverty, corruption, unemployment, insecurity, crime, injustice, greed and class divisions are obscuring the perspective of our Albanian youth.

Thousands of brothers and sisters are leaving the country each day, abandoned by the ineffective political class.

We must pause for a moment and reflect on the scars of our society, and the phenomena that trouble us.

This day of human sacrifice calls us to cast aside ego, greed, and indifference, and take responsibility for the sake of our homeland, family, society and nation. “- Meta declared.

“May God help us find the way so that we bring out a unity of our best patriotic, ethical, moral, human and divine values.

Albanians have reason to be proud of their history, their moral and human values.

We have made great efforts on our path to Europe, which cannot be overshadowed by recent political, economic and social developments.

With faith in God and love for the country, let us extend the cooperation hand to each other and devote ourselves to our loving families, society, and homeland.

In conclusion, I would like to assure you of my support in your efforts and prayers, which serves to the wellbeing of our citizens and of our common future.

Happy Ashura Day!

Happiness and prosperity to all Albanians! ”- said the President of the Republic on his congratulation message to the Bektashi devotees and all fellow citizens.
