The 80th anniversary of liberation from fascism, still occupied by a herd of

In advance, I would like to join the congratulations of all Albanians: "Happy 112th anniversary of independence and 80th anniversary of liberation from the Nazi-fascists". I also repeat: the "humility" for the martyrs sacrificed over the centuries for independence and liberation from the occupiers, as well as the "honor" for the fighters of a generation of patriots who regardless of religion, political beliefs and region joined the winners of the anti-fascist coalition in World War II.

While 47 years (1944 - 1991) of biographical divisions had fatal consequences, it remains very ugly that the political fight for the date of liberation from the Nazis (November 28 or 29) continues even in the 33 years of facade democracy! The question remains quite simple: "for whose agenda (?!) every end of November this war between paranoids is recycled"? The answer is also certain: "the clashes, including the crowns/Bolshevik routine for the date of liberation", have never served the Albanians nor the national interests.

Fortunately, 33 years after the self-overthrow of the communist regime, it has been proven to everyone (except the unfortunate sick) that: "the Stalingrad-like battle for the date of liberation from the Nazi-fascists" has nothing to do with "honoring the blood of the martyrs". nor with respect for the sacrifices of the Albanians!

On the contrary, during 33 years, this disgusting theater has only served the interests of a sect of politicians with a democratic collar, or as the late Arben Duka calls them in his poetic revolt: "herd of thieves* (title), half blue color, half red color", who, after hypothecating the Parties, stole Albanians' properties, dreams and the Euro-Atlantic future, while still trying to keep inspired armies of nostalgics, militants and real estate agents in electoral battles to keep or take power at any price.

I repeat that as much as the honor that this event carries for the martyrs is deserved, the battle is just as disgusting for us, the living: "mainly the actors/owners of the parties, the statesmen and the real estate agents around them". Anyway, below you will find a "package of 6 truths/values", which I hope will unite Albanians around the date of liberation:

Truth no. 1: beyond the "cynical details" about the time, day, night, name and shoe number of the Nazi who was the last to leave Hani i Hoti: "the liberation of Albania from the Nazi-fascist occupiers remains a glorious event in national history". Having said that, the deniers and the distorters of the N-CL war should be pitied, as they undermine efforts for national reconciliation in the first place.

Truth no. 2: "Little Albania was aligned in the big coalition of winners". This is indeed confirmed by H.Kissinger: "Albania, among the only countries that was liberated without the presence of the Red Army or the Western allies".

Truth no. 3: The awakening of national consciousness on the Bolshevik exaggerations of LANÇ, which would also serve as an apology/repentance for the murders and imprisonments of not only the political opponents of the government but also thousands of fellow fighters. Wouldn't it be very cynical not to humble ourselves with the same respect before the thousands of Albanians who gave their lives, wealth and everything for liberation and western orientation; but they were killed and brutally persecuted by the communist regime before/after November 1944 until 1991?!

Without accepting this truth, without yet asking for a state apology (not from the pirates) as well as human repentance for the thousands of murders, imprisonments, deportations, etc., the national reconciliation "between brother and sister" not only about the date of liberation from the Nazi-fascists will continue remains a difficult, if not impossible, mission.

Truth no. 4: small countries like Albania will continue to find it impossible to self-determine their geopolitical destinies! As such, the liberation from the Nazi-fascists and the alignment in the eastern camp: "neither mythologizes nor exonerates the political actors of the time". So beyond folkloric patriots, it will have to be wisely accepted that Albania's contribution was anyway modest in the great victory of World War II. Albania would have been liberated anyway "no later than May 8, 1945", right?

Truth no. 5: after the 1990s, in most countries ruled by "Stalinism", punishment was applied for crimes against the unity of "supreme leaders, members of the Political Bureau, State Security, etc." While the disappointing model of the RDSh punishing "for coffee" the actors/authors of the criminal regime, while promoting former investigators and spies of the criminal regime as high state officials, MPs, ministers, etc., remains a knife in the back of democratic aspirations. !

Truth no. 6: based on state archives, until 1947, November 28 was officially celebrated as the date of liberation from the Nazis. This is also confirmed by Enver Hoxha himself, I quote: "November 28, the day of the flag became twice holy..."! Thus, equating it with the celebration of the liberation of the Federation of Yugoslavia, the 29th anniversary remains as a proof of the disgusting vassalage of the dictator E. Hoxha to Marshal Tito.

In addition, "if we cannot change the future for the better, why should we waste time/energy discussing history/past", says the philosopher/genius of modern times HARARI in the book NEXUS. Taking into consideration the findings of the above, I would re-suggest one of the following 3 options/dates as the official date of the liberation of the Republic of Albania from the Nazi-fascists:

The first option: November 28, combining as complementary values ??the 2 major events (Independence and the liberation of RSh from the Nazi-fascists)!

The second option: November 17, the liberation of Tirana, while also with the definition: "the official date of liberation, or the date when the conqueror's flag was lowered in the capital and the national flag was raised"!

The third option: May 8, or joining the victory of the coalition of winners over fascism (May 8, 1945), a date that is also celebrated by +20/32 NATO countries.

IN SUMMARY, I remain hopeful that each of these 3 dates/options would be a long-awaited/missing solution for 47+33 years, as it will not only serve as "medicine to heal the wounds of the criminal class war"; but it will sow national cohesion, broad consensus among politicians of the New generation, as well as contribute to reconciliation not only about the date of liberation from the Nazi fascists!

On this occasion, I express my gratitude to the military, police, civil emergency workers, doctors and nurses, as well as to anyone else, who with exemplary dedication sacrifice for the protection of sovereignty/national interests; for the safety of life, health and property of citizens; the democratic stability of the society as well as the integration into the structures of Euro-Atlantic values.

Also, in addition to repeating the humility for the fallen, the honor for the warriors and the sublime sacrifices; I am trying to awaken the "institution of not forgetting" to work/fight every day against the recycling of the roots of inhumane war by the neo-Nazis, neo-Stalinists and neo-Enverists with democratic collars.

Finally, I must clarify that the findings of this opinion, as well as in hundreds of strategic products, I am not making the prominent intellectual nor the all-knowing analyst, but humbly (if you will), I hope they contribute, whether modestly to "awaken the National/Euro-Atlantic consciousness about the truths, values, threats and interests that unite all Albanians".
