8/6/2019 Against the Demolition of the Pyramid
1/4
Against the demolition of the pyramid, to set up a villa of
forgetting!
The big public debate in Albania regarding to the demolition of
the pyramid in the center
of Tirana( which was the museum for the period before communism
until to the
communism), to build the so-called "new parliament," is a very
important debate and
paradoxically summary of many issues we face every starting day
in Albania. Starting
from the unfairness of competition,not giving accountability to
the most absolute
sovereign for acts done in its name, non-democratic decision
making,etc!Let us
overcome all these issues consideringthat can not be claimed by
just one article, all the
problems debated and letsfocus just on an issue that worries me
personally: the
abuse that ruling people want to do in the rhetoric they use
regarding to the Pyramid:
Pyramid should be destroyed as representing a dark milestone in
the history ofAlbanians and Albania and remembers us of the
communist period.If the real
motivation would be that : The sensitivity of Albanians and
their desire to forget a
period that at the end they lived and fed themselves ( against
or notof their free will,this
is something else), then why was not found out what the people
really think about this
issue through a direct survey? Was it really so impossible to
meet the voice of those
who they govern every day "at their best? Where did they find
the based right to create
historical amnesia? What is the logical line of this, in a time
where the national economy
does not need any numbers to see that the misery is going beyond
every logical misery
that has been affecting us for many months from now and its
clear and visible as a
letter written black on white, to spend millions without any
need for destroying cultureand creating useless and totally
unneeded new parliament building?!To destroy a
building thatmore than beauty represents history and say to the
people :Now forget it,
your history,because we say is the right moment to forget', is
like bringing hail where
there was rain, because for the second time you repeat to an
entire nation that although
years away and things seems to change, but essentially remain
the same. Again and
with the Albanian people cost will be build the building of the
representation that in fact
will be absolutely not representative, because people werent
asked at all for this.This
building will demonstrate every time people pass there, the
impossibility but this time
really democratic impossibility, to be essentially part of the
governing that derives
from them. Openly, Albanians became part of continuous recycle
of what they do not
want and must not be!Like without noticing it instead of being
putted in the pedestal of
being asked for what it concerns to them, they will just pay for
the decision-making, that
has no priori legitimacy but only that of the Albanian citizens,
but in the explained case
they are not taken in consideration and once again we are
testimonies of the absurdly
public sphere.Starting to forget means to become a whole that
is
broken, withincomplete and missed reflection , where everyone
can feel of putting

together the pieces of the mosaic according to his will, when
given this power, and
worse still infinitely claimthat makes this for the benefit
of those who have carried on their backs the period of
communism
, those who endured all the consequences ofthe heavy footsteps
that
were left behind. To forget history is like to live in abubble
of
air and deprived of comparison, of being informed and the most
important of
complaining .To forget your own history means to infinitely
repeat it
, andevery historical part will be a continuously start, by
remaining slave of what it
should have been, that means despiteeverything: of Albania and
Albanians! We can
not build upon the spirit that is essentiallyprofane, a cynical
villa of forgetting! We have
the right to have our history.
