The situation in Albania after the severe political CRISIS OF 1921 AND THE UPRISING OF MARCH 1922

Summary/Abstract: The political situation in Albania afiter the severe crisis of 1921 and the uprising of March 1922 was not easy at all. As a matter of fact the situation in which the representing institutions of the country were in at those moments needs to be judged carefully. These institutions lacked experience, legal tradition and institutional capacities to solve the situation in such a way that on the one hand the stability of the country be kept and on the other hand such legal measurements be taken that did not allow the repetition of similar occurrences in the future. But their sofit and mild or reluctant attitude had also objective reasons. Attending a resolute policy and legal punishment of the organizers of the coup d’ëtat was very hard. Such a policy should pass through a very difficult path where one could run pretty smoothly into a civil war which would detonate the realization process of the institutions and of the national state and it could come up to a serious jeopardy of the existence of this state itself taking into account that Albania’s neighbors were there looking fonvard to such developments in order to make their annexation objectives come true. Thus the moderated attitude of the state institutions toward the conspirators was a wise policy aiming at national reconciliation by the good will of tolerating the opposition and accepting the co-existence with it, bailing out in this way the parliamentary political system and leaving the way open to the development of national institutions in peace towards democracy. On the other hand this tolerant and inadequate attitude viewed in respect of law implementation as it would have been done in any other country where a more or less legal state was functioning with relatively consolidated institutions, lefit also the way open to the repetition of other coup d’ëtats in the future. And to the bad luck of Albania such painful and dangerous episodes would come with no delay.
