Edi Rama in Parliament

Today, the draft law on decorations is being discussed in the Assembly. Prime Minister Edi Rama said that the new law brings Albania into the system of European countries and separates it from communism.

"Today we make a law which reintroduces our country into the system of European countries. It separates it from Yugoslavian communism, Soviet, Chinese communism, of all those years that came along with the frenzy of decorations, medals, tins and puts it into the system like all other countries. All countries in Europe have the same system and have the same rules. Nothing happened, nothing happened to anyone that happened to us, that we managed to decorate the founder of the Albanian state. The former President of the Republic managed to decorate Ismail Qemalin. Ismail Qemali is decorated", said Rama.

He gave several instances of titles that he thought should not be given.

"Today we are the only country in Europe that has both a decoration of the national flag and a title "Knight of the Order of the Flag", how someone can get this title is unknown. We have the "Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu" decoration. There is an Order of Mother Teresa's sisters, we robbed Mother Teresa of the "Order of Mother Teresa" and if you look at who took it, they are people who are not sisters, they are not brothers. And then another caricature was made, the order was removed in 2013 and the medal was made".

According to Rama, only at one point was the Albanian state serious and integrated into the community of states.

"We think that only at one point was the Albanian state serious and integrated into the community of states, when King Zog received the necessary model from abroad and honored a system which is a system integrated into the system of orders and medals that is based on France and the one based in Great Britain. In the monarchy we didn't have titles of nobility, in the Republic we have titles of nobility but we don't have noblemen. 110 years today is like non grata coming around, and it's laugh and cry on the medal field. There are debates about the word Commander. The word Commander is a word that is inflected in all languages ​​and it is the word that King Zog raised. The commander cannot sit under the officer. This is called constipation humor from our side and for this you should use olive oil".

The head of the government did not leave behind the ironies about the posthumous decorations.

"Decoration after death is typical alla-albanian of alla-democracy. An unimaginable Hamletology. An unprecedented provincial tangerlik, unsuspecting in the history of the planet", said the head of the government.

"With this law, we close this chapter and settle in a place in the mosaic of European states. It is the only stone that is missing in that mosaic and it is the stone of Albania", emphasized Rama.
