For Albanians in Albania, December 8, 1990 is the birthday of their freedoms, said Sali Berisha, leader of the Democratic Party, in a speech held in memory of the figure of Azem Hajdari.
"Like today, 35 years ago, on December 8, 1990, students of the University of Tirana and other higher education institutions, led by the tribune of freedom, Azem Hajdari, launched the protests, the democratic revolution, which like a real hurricane in three days divided the eras and established political pluralism in the most monistic country on the planet.
Therefore, today the entire Albanian nation honors December 8th as the most important date so far in the history of its freedom after the country's declaration of independence.
"For Albanians in Albania, December 8, 1990 is the birthday of their freedoms," Berisha said.
According to him, on December 8, 1990, the liberating students, the angels of democracy, as they would call the most oppressed people of Europe, led by their legendary prince, Azem Hajdari, rose up to overthrow the most brutal communist dictatorship of the time.
"The students of December 1990 were indomitable, invincible missionaries, precursors of an epochal change in the history of their nation and country, who from the first protest proclaimed as the motto of their revolution, freedom and democracy, Albania as Europe.
Azem Hajdari, the tribune of freedom, and the December students were the true heroes.
They were heroes above all heroes because they took to the streets of Tirana alone, abandoned by Albanians, abandoned by Europe, abandoned in its entirety.
In that December, many in Europe, after the failure of the peaceful uprising of July 2, thought that Albania should and deserved to remain the Cuba of the Adriatic on the continent.
But the students in this solitude, dared, faced the most repressive communist regime of the time, the regime that even in those days killed and executed their peers at the border every week, and even dragged the corpses of young people, shredded by the barrages of border guards, through the streets and squares of the cities of Saranda, Shkodër, Gjirokastër, Korçë, just so that no one would dare to rise up against that regime.
The December students were heroes and heroes gone because in the unequal battle with the regime that had placed tanks, machine guns, armies, and hordes before them, they, with their only weapon, their courage, remained undefeated and won.
"The democratic revolution that began on December 8 would quickly become the most powerful peaceful movement in the history of Albania and in a span of 72 hours, with the already strong support of intellectuals and citizens of Tirana, would triumph over the communist regime and impose on it the acceptance of political pluralism in Albania and establish the first opposition party in post-war history, the Democratic Party of Albania," said Berisha.
