Rama: Abuses with persecuted people

Keti Bazhdari, who comes from a family of politically persecuted people, acting as Chairwoman of the Working Group, says that during these years there has been hypocrisy towards this part of the society and that they have been used as political capital. While the opposition leader, Edi Rama, considered the meeting as very special and that every proposal that would derive from it would be attached to the SP program.

“After 21 years, there are many former politically persecuted people to whom the communism took off all their belongings, and in exchange of the unconditioned trust that they have given to the Democratic Party, they are still hostage of prejudgments towards us, a prejudice that has been held alive intentionally through systematic offences and endless calumnies launched by Sali Berisha and his court against us”, Rama declared.

The Socialist leader, Edi Rama, reminded that in 1990 he was one of the people who signed the petition for releasing the politically arrested people. Rama considered this interest of the Socialist Party to the politically persecuted people as an obligation, not simply an electoral matter.

“The open matter of the politically persecuted people and the former land owners who were expropriated by the communist regime, for us, the Socialists, is not a partial or electoral matter, but a matter of public and national interest. We are engaged to end the 20-year-long abuse of the politically persecuted people. We will cooperate with them to close with dignity the wound opened by giving no moral and material compensation to these people. We will establish a European Institution of the historic memory and we will document and make accessible for the public the history and the persecution launched by the Communist regime”, Rama declared.

The opposition leader expressed his dissatisfaction for the way how the pavilion about communism at the National Museum was created, considering it as an intentional dumb action of the government.
