22/11/2014

For the first time, 25 years after the fall of communism, the Albanian government opened the doors of the nuclear shelter that the former communist government had built in case of an attack.

Rama had invited many high-rank officials and international representatives in the inauguration ceremony of the museum that is called “Bunk Art”. Ion his speech, Rama noted the importance of the opening of this bunker:

“We are witnessing today the opening of a collective memory. We are here to open a new phase regarding the past, not to rewrite history, but to show the past in all methods that we have, as a chance to bring in front of the new generations all of its testimonies”, the Prime Minister declared.

“History should be left to historians. The efforts to write history through a strong political will has been tragic in the distant past and ridiculous in the closer one. The efforts to repaint oneself has resulted tragic in the distant past and ridiculous in the closer past”, Rama added.

The Prime Minister also mentioned the notorious “Files of Enver Hoxha’s regime”.

“We are the ones who closed any connection with Enver Hoxha in 1990, and we have no problem to watch their deeds from all viewing points. We will liberate this collective memory from these nightmares. The preservation of these mysteries, and the preservation of the Communist Secret Service files are the continuity of the old politics. Those files hide many bitter truths”, Rama declared.

Before the opposition mentioned it, Rama declared: “Someone might go on Facebook today and say that we hid here etcetera, but the truth is that a visit in this place would show the boys and girls of this country about the dictatorship of Enver Hoxha and Mehmet Shehu and their anti-human and anti-religious actions”, Rama declared.

Rama called the “Bunk Art” just the beginning of this tourist itinerary. Later will also open the “House of Leaves”, which was used by the Secret Service for surveillance.
