The Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, is today holding a meeting with Italian Albanian compatriots in Milan.
During his speech, Rama said that the Albanians had a great love for Italy, which, according to him, was not in the same relationship for our people after the 90s, writes euronews.al.
Rama said that during the second world war, the Albanians kept the Italians at home and fed them, but after the 90s, according to him, the compatriots faced great difficulties in the neighboring country.
“An adoration to the point of self-denial of an Italy that in the minds of Albanians had taken on the appearance of a holy land where the paradise of this world was found, a blind unconditional love that left nothing to be desired by all platonic loves. Albania in the eyes of Italy looked like a TV screen where black lights were running away”, Rama told me.
“Like when the last Italians were taken to the houses of the Albanians, who fed them and treated them like their family members, until they sent them to their families. Sisters and brothers, I received many messages from Albanians in Italy after the red and black dance in the heart of Greece. On more than one occasion, they told me that when I came to Milan, I should not forget that you also suffered. You felt excluded from a race of pain.”
“Today democratic states either succeed all together in Europe, or we are left behind in a Europe that today is more challenged since the Second World War. Germany managed to unify without political games or waiting for East Germans to adapt. While the EU procrastinated with the expansion until the Russians showed up with the first war of conquest, making Europe understand that it should join an hour ago through the bridges of democracy, not join with the turtle’s step through the bureaucracy”, said Rama”.
