This is the division, that line of Teodos that Aurel Plasari wrote about in 1991. This is not just November 8 or December 8. But the consequences that brought one and the other...
Practically it seems impossible because Dom Gjergji is a clergyman. An "official" of the Catholic religion, who in the logic of "political correctness" should be depoliticized.
If we come to the early question that came to us as a parody; is the priest the people? When today, all day long, we look at elders and priests, who not only do politics, but are protagonists par excellence of great politics.
We have one in charge at all; His Beatitude Anastas, the archbishop of the Albanian Orthodox Church, who is really a high-level political figure. From where not only ideas come, but decisions are made about how not only minority politics will move, but also what is indissoluble in Athens. More than any prime minister of Greece, it is Anastas Janullatos who makes politics.
Of course, his happiness is not the only one, as we have politicians with slats and pockets everywhere, every day. That move the strings in campaigns, but also in important political debates in the country.
The main Hoxhallars of Tirana are divided on the basis of party militancy, where a part is with the SP and another part, with the DP. And let's not forget that Baba Mondi and the Bektashian fathers, who frankly we should not take revenge on, were considered supporters of Ilir Meta's LSI.
However, the discussion is on another level.
Dom Gjergj Meta, a priest with an important role in the Catholic clerical hierarchy in Albania, has always been engaged in political debate. Who always spoke his mind. Like today when he talks about not being excited by communism movies, like yesterday when he said that I don't want to become a member of the EU if they deny my Muslim brothers.
These statements of Dom Gjergji are not politically correct. They are provocative, but a music that is enjoyed by all those who do not like this socialist majority and its culture, filled with "Commissioner Memo" or "The Great Winter". Far be it, no one wants to burn the books of Kadare or Dritëroi the Great, but there is in Albania, a large part of people who love more, they even worship Father Gjergj Fishta, Mitrush Kutel, Lasgush Poradecin, Martin Camaj, Ernest Koliqin, Arshi Pipën , Visar Zhitin, etc., etc.
So we have two constellations, two logics, two cultures that find common ground in the nation, in the country, in Albanianness, but not in the opinion of how this country should be made.
And this is nothing but the essence of the holy book and of course also that of democracy: "Freedom of Choice"! God told Eve not to eat the apple, but He did not stop her from eating it.
If you look carefully, in the opinion, the person most "crucified" by the left is not Sali Berisha, but Dom Gjergj Meta.
Only one of his posts with critical notes towards the relaunch of the movie "Poppies on the Wall" had much more fierce curses than against the one who considers himself the leader of the right in the country, Sali Berisha.
It should not be all those who demolished the churches and mosques in 1967, the chances are that some of them are descendants, who still remember that the victorious Albanian history was brought by Enver Hoxha, Commissioner Memo and Abdi Sharra of "Këneta" Fatmir Tjatas. To tell the truth, it has been 33 years since there were millions of pages against Dritëro Agolli, Fatmir Djata or Shefqet Musaraj, but few or no works that challenge those novels and short stories that are in the heads of millions of Albanians today.
But this does not mean that there are not as many heads who hate or do not love these works.
And this cultural crisis of Albania is really the essence of the debate and the political division in the country. A part that loves it or came out of the dictatorship, or that don't love it but are in some way a product, and another part that doesn't call it its heritage. This contingent has not really managed to challenge Commissioner Memo culturally, but it has its address in the stories of Koliq, the poems of Martin Camaj, or the Prison Book of Arshi Pipa.
This is the confrontation. And here, Gjergj Meta without 'dom' in this case, is the most vocal, and it is not at all complex to make the debate. Which is attached to Visar Zhiti or others. Those who are not Sali Berisha, have even shown that they do not want to be the crooked history of this hybrid anti-communism, but simply say: we are not "Poppies on the walls"!
This is the division, that line of Teodos that Aurel Plasari wrote in 1991. And this is not just November 8 or December 8. But the consequences that brought one and the other.
Dom Gjergj Meta is not with November 8, nor with December 8, but with the heritage before November 8 that December 8 degraded. And this is where real politics starts, this is where a debate really starts where the parties are divided like a knife.
So December 8th didn't overturn November 8th, which most, but not all, inherit.
This is where the real opposition begins. Everything was not divided on December 8, 1991, but on November 8, 1941. Gjergj Meta, there is consensus and attacks on this, but at least he is among the main ones who not only takes it on, but is also considered serious in this cause.
This is where the Albanian opposition can really start; to be really an anti "Poppy on the wall"./ Pamphlet
