In October 1975, Ismail Kadare would challenge a whole regime with the reactionary vernacular "At noon the Political Bureau met," or otherwise known as the "Red Pashallari". At the time, the writer tried to publish it but the correctors and critics in the newspaper "Drita" raised the alarm.
The poem denounced openly the failure and blood shedding of the dictatorial system. Yesterday evening, Exclusive show on Top Channel solved the event in question revealing more detail.
We recall that in 2016, 41 years after the disclosure of the communist leader's secret diary, Hoxha's own notes on Kadare and his poem were found.
"This wicked poet generalizes to attack the Party, the Basis, Socialism, as strong as steel, and apply a straightforward Marxist-Leninist path based on class struggle," writes Enver Hoxha, among other things, in his diary.
According to Vahid Lama, Hoxha's personal secretary, the poem was left on the Ramiz Alia desk and then left the office, so when he entered the secretary, Enver had just finished reading the poem and blew up:
"Take these notes and give Nexhmije to arrange somewhere in the archive. There are a few my own judgments for Ismail Kadare, who you want to keep from your jacket to keep from falling into the depths of his sick fantasy. He writes about "Red Pashalas", who are these? Members of the Politburo ?! Of course he thinks so. But his mind, with its cosmopolitanism, will then beg to write for the "Red Sultan"! Come on, writer, come on! He is a dangerous party foe. We have a lot of pet, but now with these "Red Pashasari" our patience is over, he will give an account. His poem is a heavy charge of party leadership, it is a black trait that calls for uprising, is a macabre work: - Enver Hoxha [7]
"
Lama emphasizes that Enver "was smoked in the face" and adds that "I rarely met me to look at her in such anxious condition." Kadare says that he thought that this time he would really suffer and that "up and down was rumored that Kadare's arrest was a matter of days".
The poem in question is this here:
