Socialist MP Erion Braçe has reacted sharply on the 30th anniversary of the May 26, 1996 elections.
He has attacked the current leaders of the Socialist Party for "forgetting" one of the events, according to him, the most violent of Albanian pluralism.
Braçe recalls the violence and what he calls the electoral massacre of that time, while emphasizing that "socialists do not forget", underlining that the history of the SP "does not begin with those who lead it today".
"SOCIALIST LEADERS FORGET, SOCIALISTS DON'T! For all those who were not born on May 26, ignorance is understandable.
But everyone must understand that the resistance of the men and women of May 26 changed the course of history in this country, accelerating the fall of a CRIMINAL regime that was stealing and killing.
For all those who were minors on May 26, saw their parents massacred after everything was taken from them, including their jobs, and today they are in charge, forgetting is inexcusable.
But each of them must understand that the history of the Socialist Party does not begin with them. For all the others who know what May 26 is, have lived it, have learned about it but have not experienced it, forgetting is not political.
"Each of them must understand that it is the blood of the socialists, of the leftist people massacred on May 26th in the middle; blood is not water, it does not become water, it is not extinguished with water, it is not forgiven," emphasizes Braçe.
