Albanian Opposition Seeks to Outlaw Communism Symbols

After children were seen waving pictures of the late Stalinist dictator Enver Hoxha, Albania's main opposition party said it will submit a draft law outlawing the displays of such symbols.

The head of Albania's main centre-right opposition Democratic Party, Lulzim Basha, on Monday said his party would soon submit a draft law seeking to ban the display of communist symbols in public.

The Democrats' leader said his party was seeking help from German partner parties in order to follow the same model that Germany has, in banning Nazi symbols.

"We are going to propose an initiative very soon to parliament that will ban and criminalise the use of communist symbols, following the law that Germany uses for Nazi symbols," Basha said.

Yes, the Albanians seem to have learned tyranny/censorship and Islam.  Great combo.
