Right now I read that Ismail Kadare cancelled his speech in Athens because of the racist slogans that were heard in parade of 25th March. Sadly there is racism in Greece as in all countries of the world. Racism has a social-economic reason to exist in our societies. In a world of fear and terror racism and nazism is logical to be. But We ,Greek, are not all racists.We don’t agree at all. If someone says I cannot go to talk in Greece because there they hate Albanians, is racist like the one that says one Albanian stole me, all Albanians are thieves.
And even if Ismail Kadare did it to show something with his move, to show whom? To racists? I think they will say we don’t need him. Who lost from this movement? Everyone that would love to listen Ismail Kadare and sure hates also every Greek that agreed with racists slogans.
Also mr Kadare maybe didn’t read that greek public opinion was shocked from the video and many of Greek were disgusted by video.
I hope that he would change his mind and he will come…
