Former Minister of Agriculture, Pirro Dodbiba /

Among the other events recorded by the head of the Party's cabinet from the distant year 1976, the campaign for the conviction of two "ministers from Elbasan", Piro Dodbiba and Thoma Deliana, stands out, whose crucifixion concluded the "era" of elimination. of communist anti-party leaders"...

The fourth part

It follows from Part One , Part Two and Part Three

 The coup of Piro Dodbiba, the longest-serving minister of agriculture in the communist regime, was one of the most sensational events of 1976. The way Haxhi Kroi documented this story in his diary is almost the same as the other dramas of the former communist leaders, victims of the purges campaign of the 70s.

However, Hoxha's discreet man notes, Dodbiba did not have the fate of other enemies in culture, army and oil (!). Everything started, according to him, with Enver's order to set up the Party organization of the Ministry of Agriculture "to put the bourgeois minister with his shoulders against the wall".

For days and weeks, Dodbiba's subordinates, under the direction of Mito Bozo, the head of agriculture in the Central Committee, have discussed until midnight, to argue the anti-party minister's anti-party minister's hostile activity and self-administrative tendencies. From here, the newly discovered issue went to the governing bodies of the Party.

The head of Enver's cabinet detailed the meeting of the Political Bureau, which finalized the attack on the anti-party minister.

"The leadership," writes Kroi, referring to the meeting of the Political Bureau on April 24, 1976, called on Pirro Dodbiba to reflect on the mistakes, but he made a "self-criticism" that was washed away enough to pass the queue. This former bourgeois, although he has been in the Party for over 30 years, he still remains as such, an arrogant bourgeois, but the Party took away his mask, showing him the country like all other enemies". Furious, Hoxha's chief of staff, who does not mention anything concrete from the violations of the "bourgeois minister", but only stereotypical paraphrases heard about the next victim in his boss's office, does not forget to remind him of the "investment" of extraordinary that the Party has done for him. This is even the moment, where Kroi, famous "for piety like no one else to the One of the Party", bursts into hatred towards the man who only a short time ago has valued him with the highest considerations. "Haram be the care of Comrade Enver, addressed to Dodbiba, harm be the care of the people of the Party who during the liberation war sheltered him, fed him and washed his lice over and over again".

In the monologue against the "minister of bread", the "brain" of Hoxha's cabinet brings another detail that immediately seems unbelievable, but still interesting.

"This bourgeois man, writes Kroi about Dodbiba, never went to his mother's house while he was alive." What happened after that with the martyred minister at the Politburo meeting is not included in the diary, but Kroi somewhere in his notes makes it known that together with his family he was interned in Llakatund in Vlora, in one of those dozens of internment camps that the regime reserved for class enemies... 

 "Agim Merua, a dangerous backdrop for Todi Lubonja"

Enver Hoxha's speeches at the Party congresses, which met every five years, were considered the main pillars of the political developments of the communist regime. Beyond what was consumed with props for their echo, Haxhi Kroi's diary has memorized the invisible parts of these "historical moments" with the unknown circumstances in which the Party leader operated to put on paper the new projections of the country's development. Until the 7th Congress, what Albanians have seen in voice and image has been a direct view of Hoxha's announcement at the Party assemblies, a ritual that continued until the 1976 Congress.

In Kroi's diary, it is confirmed for the first time that the speech of Enver used there was recorded, but from the way it was performed in the hall, no one understood it. Without wanting to deal too much with this acting gesture of his boss, the personal secretary of the head of the regime, mentions in the diary the difficult conditions for the preparation of the VII Congress and especially the many vicissitudes for the realization of Hoxha's report, for the recording of which it took days and weeks. Among the other events recorded by the head of the Party's cabinet from the distant year 1976, the campaign for the conviction of two "ministers from Elbasan", Piro Dodbiba and Thoma Deliana, stands out, whose crucifixion concluded the "era" of elimination. of communist anti-party leaders", which started in the early 70s with the culture group and continued with that of the army and saboteurs in the economy and oil. From the chronicle of the Party Plenum of July 1976, called specifically for this issue, Kroi, while referring to the main report held by Hekuran Isai, singles out the "principled position" of the party leadership towards "hostile", "revisionist" and "capitulist" activity ", of the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Education.

"Along with them, writes Hoxha's secretary, Agim Merua, a bigoted and anti-party guy among the dirtiest, a dangerous enemy of enemies and Todi Lubonjës..."(Continues...)/ Pamphlet, was also expelled from the Party.
