Fatos Lubonja's testimony in the trial and the confrontation with his father: his father used to take foreign books to Kadareja

Below you can read about the so-called Document 65, where there is a confrontation between the testimony given in court by Fatos Lubonja and the attitudes of his father, Todi, who rejects everything.

The following document is the clarification of the handwritten notes, kept by the secretary of the court of Tirana, Shpresa Duro, during one of the sessions of the trial of Todi Lubonja on February 24, 1975. The document is conceived in three parts.

Fatos Lubonja had stated before the judicial body that his father had told him after his transfer to Korça, that the first secretary of the Party Committee "does not have the proper theoretical knowledge", while his father refutes the testimony saying: "I do not agree with Fatos regarding what he said about me to the first secretary of Korça. These were trumpeted in the mouth of Fatos by Mihallaq Luarasi". And, while the son had told the investigators that "I made writings with hostile content", writings that according to him Todi Lubonja had also seen, the latter says that "regarding his writings I have absolutely no knowledge that in that At that time, I didn't talk to Fatos at all".

In the minutes we find two more hot spots in the clash between father and son. The first was about banned books. In this part of the testimony, Fatos Lubonja also included Ismail Kadare, for whom he says that his father had respect. "Some of the foreign books were ordered by my father, some I got from a friend or from my father at Ismail Kadareja", testified Fatos Lubonja. His father admits that he read foreign literature legally, and then did party propaganda, without mentioning anything else.

Another hot point is the attitude towards Enver Hoxha. Fatosi has testified about a case in which they called the party's top leader a "dajrexhi", starting from a demonstration on May 1. His father opposes it, he denies having knowledge of such a thing. "We had left the TV in Fatosi to fix it on April 16, I went to Lezha. I didn't have a TV, so I didn't see the May 1 parade and I don't know about the tambourine. I have never spoken to insult the main leader nor the party".

Another issue that comes up in Fatos Lubonja's testimony is also related to some weapons that were kept in the family, but in his father's answers on this topic there is no concrete reaction, as you will see in the full document that is in the following. /mapo/
