Analyst Ilir Demalia has commented on the historic event of July 2, 1990, when hundreds of Albanian citizens sought refuge in Western embassies in Tirana, describing it as a symbolic moment of the desire to break away from totalitarian isolation.
Demalia stressed that, even after 35 years, Albania remains trapped in the mindset and consequences of that time, due to the lack of confronting the historical truth. He raised concerns about the failure to open files and archives, describing this as a serious obstacle to building a fair and honest narrative about the past.
" July 2 was a desire to break out of isolation. Even today, after 35 years, we are hostages of that time, whether as a mentality, as a society, as a politics, or in cultural life. We have not faced the truth. We should not create heroes. I have been absent from digging into those files, and we have this thing even after 35 years, we do not open the files, because everything is hidden there.
They complicate it with July 2nd in Kosovo, and in fact this has nothing to do with it. We have to follow all the events of Southeast Europe, and we were the last domino, in Albania the regime fell last. We have to understand why this is happening to us, because we have no relationship with the truth, because they hide all the documents from us. We do not do a serious analysis to understand the reality, we falsify the meetings. The meeting with Ramiz Ali was a total failure. We do not open the archives, we have not opened the archives even for December , "said Demalia in "Real Story" on ABC News.
