The story of Spartak Ngjela

Spartak Ngjela confessed tonight on Top Story with Grida Duma, that Enver Hoxha had asked him to meet him, but he refused to go.

Njjela says that two senior experts told him that if he went, the dictator would kill him.

"A hand has protected me. I don't think God is a nurse or a lawyer…. In my opinion, it is a universal burden, it cannot be dealt with the individual. It was a diabolical regime, with intrigues, security... I was followed three times a day. Where was my pleasure? It wasn't that I was brave, but I had protection from my family.

These horses were coming after me and I was making fun of them. My family considered it my individual development. 'You are free, but you bear the responsibility yourself'. I still am. If you reach and create your inner philosophy, you don't violate it anymore.

Enver Hoxha asked me and I regret not going. The block was also on the beach of Durrës, and on the side of the beach was a narrow road that passed near Hoxha's apartment. I was passing by, he was on the balcony. He stood up and waved at me. I regret not going.

Two experts I asked said 'no', 'it would kill you'. It could be what they say, but I don't think so.

What would I say to Hoxha if I met him? I imagined it an hour after I left home... I would tell him that this regime is like this, like this. I would tell him everything. That's why I didn't go. The unconscious told me not to go, for the purpose of life", said Ngjela.

Lawyer Spartak Ngjela, in a rare confession, has shown a moment when the Prime Minister of that time, Mehmet Shehu, threw him out of a meeting, according to him, in an attempt to protect him.

The lawyer said that at a moment when he spoke openly against the regime, Mehmet Shehu took him out of the hall where he was, considering him to be drunk in order to protect him.

"To save yourself then you had to turn the tragedy into a comedy. And we mocked reality, trying to turn the situation into a comic. The prime minister took me out, protected me. I spoke against the regime. He said take care that he is drunk. He protected me. I was surprised. I spoke against the regime, in my own ways. He said this is how Spartak speaks, but in the end he will take our baton. I never told him. Merreni said he was drunk. He protected me. "Spartak, remember, you don't mix wine with brandy," said Ngjela.

As for the relationship with his father, Kiço Ngjela, who at that time held the position of Minister of Trade, the lawyer said that his father never interfered in his ideological beliefs despite the fact that he himself was a leftist.

"My political relationship was frozen, we did not harass each other. I spoke openly, he didn't talk about being recorded. When I was there, he didn't take any leftist political stance. These that look like this now, were lives there among us. They gave me a positive emotional charge. Do not confuse the political relationship with the father's love. He was the person who gave me the opportunity to be a liberal in politics. No war against me, he was one of the most powerful ministers and I was their opponent ", confessed the lawyer among other things.
