35 years since the fall of the Berlin wall / Berisha: It inspired other nations to stand up against dictatorships
The chairman of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, during his speech at the marathon protest on the 'Road of Hope', recalled the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, where he focused on the historical and symbolic importance of this event, not only for Germany but for the whole world. Berisha described the moment of the fall of the wall as an act of heroism by the German citizens of East Germany, who no longer accepted oppression and dictatorship.
Berisha : Dear friends, tomorrow the great German nation and the peoples who were sent to communist dictatorships have a great event. On November 9, 1989, 35 years ago, the Germans rushed like lions over the Berlin Wall that separated the realm of freedom from the realm of tyranny.
That separated dictatorships from free countries and overthrew it.
The fall of the Berlin Wall is one of the greatest events in the history of the freedom of the German nation, Europe and the world.
The fall of the Berlin Wall is a work of bravery, courage, invincible spirit of the German citizens of East Germany, who no longer accepted oppression, persecution, dictatorship in their country.
This major act in the history of freedom was inspired by the call that the President of the USA, Ronald Reagan, would make before at Banderburg Harbor.
In his speech, he would address the Soviet dictator, Mr. Gorbachev: remove this wall! The Germans who were separated by the wall from their free nation started the battle with the wall and the dictatorship.
But the fall of the Berlin Wall was made possible by the visionary, courageous stance of the greatest chancellor of all time, Helmut Kohl.
This great man of the German nation inspired his countrymen beyond the wall with his views, and when they traveled hundreds of kilometers to cross into West Germany through Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, etc., he told the Germans that our countrymen are voting with foot.
So with civil disobedience the Germans voted.
The fall of the wall was made possible by the visionary attitude of the great friend of the Albanian nation, the outstanding man of the American nation, George Bush, who, we must tell the truth, unlike other Western leaders of that time, looked at the fall of the wall and the unification of Germany a major dimension of freedom in Europe and the world.
He saw a united Germany as a real locomotive of the EU, but also a country among the most powerful in the North Atlantic alliance.
The fall of the Berlin Wall inspired other nations to ex-communist dictatorships, and one after the other rose in the revolutions of '89. Overthrew communist cliques in Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania.
