From Mitro Çela/ Andreoti's Prophecy

In the fall of 1991, together with Azem Hajdari and Filip Çakuli, we were invited to Italy.

Dashnor Dervishit, ambassador of Albania, welcomed us in Rome.

He had organized a meeting with Prime Minister Andreoti!

12 o 'clock.

We get into the "bina" of the government.

We stayed a few minutes in the anteroom, grazing our eyes under the secretary's cleavage.

- I've noticed, - said Filipi. - How old are the bosses, - how old are the secretaries?!

- Surely, Italy seems like heaven to them, - said Andreoti. - Normal. Come from an economic hell. But I see Italy and capitalism in general, on the edge of the precipice.

With the fall of the Berlin Wall, capitalism stands alone.

Many do hosona!

Socialism died! Long live capitalism!

But I think:

The moment of triumph of capitalism is also the moment of its crisis!

In the 20th century, capitalism has survived with socialism.

Capitalism overproduced.

Socialism consumed.

Socialism produced raw materials.

Capitalism processed them.

Socialism fell. Capitalism remained.

Can this type of capitalism survive if it doesn't change?

- I am telling you a fact, Andreoti continued. - The IMF was created in 1946, exactly the year when the world was divided between capitalism and socialism.

It's been two years since socialism died.

The IMF is the same. He has taken up the "flag" of reforms in countries in transition...

The day will not be far when the reforms blessed by the IMF will "produce" crisis, tension, poverty, unemployment.

The phone rang. Andreoti moved from the place.

- Wise man, said Azemi...

- He spoke like a prophet, I said...

The Prime Minister turned somewhat worried.

- One of the ministers has resigned... It gives me some trouble...

But let's continue the conversation.

Even politics has survived by having socialism as a partner.

With the fear of communism, the army took the lion's share of the state budget.

Communism fell. It is time to change the policy.
