Berisha promises full compensation for former persecuted people within his first

Berisha: The layer of politically persecuted constitutes the political and moral fiber of the DP.
The DP is determined that in the next mandate it will provide a final solution to the great obligations that Albanian society has towards this layer.
If we talk about a program, it is nothing other than the major obligation of compensation for the slave labor that tens of thousands of politically persecuted have performed in the camps and prisons of the dictatorship during 46 years.
Their full compensation is our commitment to this layer.
In fact, the 2006 agreement, on which the framework of compensation was determined, is outdated, since the current laws have their own limitations and Edi Rama, by proclaiming communism and the communist regime as the fair side of history, even though it was the blackest side of history, has almost completely ignored the compensation of this layer, its marginalization.
I have just come from a very fruitful meeting, a broad discussion with this layer and we agreed on a new agreement between the DP and the layer of the politically persecuted, their representatives, so that it will be our governing program.
There can no longer be any kind of justification without making all the legal changes, which are atavisms of the communist regime in some aspects on qualifications for 'terrorist acts' or sabotage, which have had no other purpose, except the fight against the dictatorship. We cannot continue
with the practices of positive discrimination in all aspects, until a balance is created between the layers of the population and cohesion between them.
The integration of the layer of the politically persecuted in the country's institutions, forums, is also necessary.
As is the application of new standards of decommunization, based on international resolutions.
So, the DP pledges to give a final answer to the problems of compensation for the persecuted during its first mandate.
I look forward to a new agreement in the form of a contract with this group.
I would also like to inform you that we will do the same with the owners.
The next mandate of the DP will be the mandate of the final resolution of property and ownership issues in Albania.
