The President and the majority have found another conflict, the
decoration of 67 National Front members executed in 1943 by Partisans in
Lushnje.
The President reacted by considering critics against this decisions as attacks and provocations coming by people who have nostalgia for one of the worst dictatorships in Europe after WWII.
“The memory of the 67 nationalists executed by the criminal hand of a group of Albanians oriented by Yugoslavia is a historic obligation for today’s Euro-Atlantic Albania”, says the announcement of the President.
But the President has not accused historians, just the Government Cabinet. Although no names were mentioned, it seems that the accusation is against the Deputy Minister of Defense, Petro Koci, who commented Nishani’s decree on Facebook.
“Decorating the collaborators of faschism is a backstab and betrayal of the National Liberation Anti-Fascist War”, Koci wrote.
The President answered to this status with an entire paragraph: “The institution of the President considers as unacceptable the revival of stalinist hate, especially when it comes from a cabinet member of a NATO country which is also EU candidate. This reality shows how much the Albanian society has been damaged by failing to investigate the crimes of communism”.
Petro Koci answered back on Facebook again, saying that the President’s siding with the National Front is an anti-nationalistic act which shows that the right wing in Albania has not distanced themselves from the collaborators of fascists even today, while the left wing has clearly distanced itself from the crimes of communism.
“Being against the decoration of those who collaborated with invaders doesn’t make you a communist. Those who go against Ballists are not exactly communists, same as anticommunists are not exactly fascists. Our Ballist President is a gift from Sali Berisha”, Koci wrote.
