... Now the fugitive and unelected president is crying out for the plight of free citizens who go to Europe. The only one who is not allowed to set foot on that continent is this one.
Which one would be dramatic:
The first time the President of the Republic sets the country on fire, absorbs the hatred of his own people, and attempts to flee the country to save his life?
Or 500 thousand, 700 thousand, 1 million young or not so young people who go to European countries, without any risk in the journey, without any fear, and work there because they think 'it's better there'?
This is the problem:
Should the president who has fallen out with the people flee or should the man be free to choose what to do?
It is not a fantasy, nor a bad dream. We have experienced this drama. A little earlier we had even experienced the drama of the shooting of those who attempted to cross the border, until 1992. After this date, the same drama continued; except for the mass departure, without any possibility of living in the country. There was no longer an Albanian army at the border, but there was the sea with a big mouth, the mountain with wolves and weapons..., which swallowed human lives...
Now those who attempted to flee the country due to crimes against humanity have put their hands on their heads because 'young people are fleeing the country'.
I listened to them all day today in the tribunes of macabre parties, and the days when the President of the Republic was looking for a helicopter to escape the country came to mind.
It was March 1997. On the 3rd, Sali Berisha herded the members of the Albanian Parliament forward and ordered: 'Vote for me for a second term, otherwise...'. Otherwise, the bandits around the president were waiting outside the hall with Kalashnikovs in their hands. This was the 3rd.
On March 4, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution No. 1101 to establish a military operation in Albania to protect Albanian citizens from the president's illegal army. In Vlora, where I was located throughout the war, without any interruption, the boys of Labëria controlled the Mifolit Bridge, the seashore and the entrance from Mesaplik. Day and night, with torches in their hands saying 'don't let the enemy come to us'. The enemy was President Sali Berisha.
The world was horrified by the president's cruelty against the people. He had gathered thousands of civilians from the northern provinces of the country, armed them, loaded them like sacks of chaff into cars, and sent them to fight in Vlora, Gjirokastra, Saranda, Kuçovë, Cërrik..., everywhere in the South. The second echelon of the attack consisted of Iranian soldiers who had deserted in Bosnia and Herzegovina and would fight in Vlora.
Also on March 4, one day after being re-elected, voted at gunpoint, the President ordered the crew of the UTI MiG-15 jet aircraft with two pilots on board to fly over Vlora and attack the people with chemical weapons.
The two pilots, Ardian Elezi and Agron Daci, escaped the bloodthirsty president, did not attack their brothers, and flew to Italy, announcing beforehand: 'We have loads of chemical weapons'. Italy accepted the rescue pilots. But it also built an entire rescue mission for the Albanians attacked by the head of state. The operation led by Italy was called Alba, as a dawn for Albania. The responsibility for maintaining peace between the president and the people in Albania was taken by the Third Corps of the Italian Army. This was the first multinational mission led by Italy since the Second World War. 11 countries from the world sent soldiers to Albania (a total of 7265 military troops), to protect the peace between the Albanian state and the Albanian citizens.
Those days, the president in a panic issued a call that 'Vlora is coming to kill me!'. He asked for the plane, not the plane that landed in Italy after not firing on Vlora. He asked for a helicopter and permission to land in Europe. The helicopter landed on the field of the Qemal Stafa stadium. Some militant journalists also sounded the alarm that 'the president is escaping'.
But apparently, the West did not accept it then, as it does today. The fugitive president invented 'murder by the people', but he could not escape. The day the presidential headquarters was liberated, after the June 29 elections, that headquarters could no longer be entered. The militants and soldiers guarding Berisha had polluted every corner of that Russian-Chinese building. It took almost three months of cleaning work. Veliaj was not even the mayor at the time, to bring in the cleaning army...
... Now the fugitive and unelected president is crying out for the plight of free citizens who go to Europe. The only one who is not allowed to set foot on that continent is this one.
