Fatos Nano Biography

Fatos Nano is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on September 16, 1952 in Tirana, Albania. The Fatos Thanas Nano (help *information ) (born on 16th September, 1952) is an Albanian socialist politician who served as the prime minister of Albania numerous times. He became the leader of Albania’s first government and the founder of the Socialist Party of Albania and was a member of Albania’s Albanian Parlament from 1991 until 1996, and from 1997 until 2009. He changed the Anti- Revisionist Marxist-Leninist philosophy of the Labor Party of Albania into social democracy to be used by its successor which was known as the Socialist Party. Under his direction and administration, his Socialist Party, as a result of reforms, merged with in the Socialist International and Party of European Socialists. Nano ran for president for the presidential election in 2007, but he was not able to win. Nano tried again for the presidency in 2012 However, he was unable to even have the necessary qualifications to run as the heads of the parties in Parliament blocked their MPs from deciding on him as a presidential candidate during the election.

Following that the Democratic Party of Albania won the parliamentary elections on 22 mars 1992 Albanian Parliament established a commission in early 1993 to examine the activities of Fatos Nano in connection with alleged fraud and abuse in the management of aid to the human cause provided from the Italian state during the recession which ran from 1990 until the beginning of 1992. It was a method of deceit to detain Nano because of his strong anti-autocratic stance that were displayed by the president Sali Berisha and due to the inefficiency and inability of the government led by Aleksander Meksi to carry out successful economic reforms. Nano was correct about this, as his government, headed by the Democratic Party permitted the notorious Ponzi schemes (known as pyramid schemes in Albania) that led to the unrest in 1997, where large numbers of Albanians were unable to save their money, rather than implementing effective economic reforms. On the 27th of July 1993, the Albanian Parliament ratified the demand of the General Attorney Alush Dragoshi, to revoke the immunity conferred by law to Nano. On July 30, 1993, Nano was detained by the Prosecutor’s Office and was is charged with “abuse of duty and the falsification of official documents in connection with Italian aid” in connection with the involvement of a single vendor that overcharged and supplied food items that were not suitable to be consumed. On April 3, 1994, Nano received 12 year in prison. An appeal signed by 700 000 people was presented the President Berisha to be released Nano from jail. Nano was deemed an official inmate by Socialist Party of Albania, Amnesty International, Human Right Watch (former Helsinki Watch), Inter-Parliamentary Union, and other organizations, and Nano was appointed the head of it. To fulfill his duties in the prison, he utilized his ex-wife Rexhina Nano as an intermediary for distributing directives to party’s leadership. Sometimes, he communicated with them by mouth, but sometimes in writing in written. After his release, Nano decided that the party would be led through three Vice Chairmen as well as one Secretary General, to carry on the battle for political power.

In 1996, Nano wrote a letter the 2nd Congress of the Party (Keshilli i Pergjithshem Drejtues), held on July–August 1996, to initiate a “Motion for Debate” to remove from the top positions of party anyone who was affiliated in any way with the Labour Party, because Nano thought that the top positions, i.e. the leadership of the party, should be held by intellectuals, like Rexhep Meidani, Pandeli Majko, Kastriot Islami, etc. This was an imperative because it was part of the ongoing process to reform the party in order to join the Socialist International and the Party of European Socialists. The “Motion for Debate”, requested by Nano, also required, to implement the recommendations made by State Department, European Parliament and European Council, for the solution of the political and institutional crisis, as official stance of the Socialist Party, also to propose the Congress to remove Marxist and statist concepts from the party’s statute and programme, also to deny Vladimir Lenin and Comintern and rehabilitate Karl Kautsky and Second Internationale. The motion was supported by the majority of the socialist members and also by the civil society, and was approved as a consequence by the congress.

The parliamentary elections of 29 June 1997 were an overwhelming victory for the Socialist Party of Albania. Nano was appointed Prime Minister by President Rexhep Meidani. The goal of Nano and the socialist government was to rebuild the ruined country, strengthen its economy and reconcile its people divided by political beliefs, but this was almost impossible with the destructive opposition led by former President Berisha. A coup d’état was attempted on 14 September 1998 by the leadership and the radical followers of the Democratic Party of Albania during the funeral of Azem Hajdari with the goal of taking power by force and murdering Nano. To avoid his murder by the angry mob, Nano decided to flee to the government residence in Pogradec. In the 1990s, Greece preferred and assisted Fatos Nano as Albanian leader due to him being Orthodox over Sali Berisha a Muslim, as Nano was seen as being friendlier to Greek interests. The government of Fatos Nano was viewed by Turkey as having a pro- Greek orientation and expressed some dissatisfaction though during that time still maintained close military relations with Albania in rebuilding its armed forces and a military base. During 1998 Albania’s Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) membership was suspended and temporarily withdrawn by prime- minister Fatos Nano who viewed it as inhibiting Albania’s European aspirations. On 28 September 1998 Nano chose to resign and retired from political life.

His political career began in the month of December 1990, when he was appointed the first Secretary General for the Council of Ministers. In January of 1991 Nano was promoted to the post as Deputy Prime Minister remaining in the government under the leadership of Adil Carcani. The collapse of communist regimes of various Central as well as Eastern European countries forced President Ramiz Alia to gradually dismantle the nomenklatura of communist regimes from government and the power structure In the final days Feb. 1991 Alia was appointed Nano to the post of Prime Minister in the government in transition in order to conduct the first democratic elections post-communist in Albania during the year, and also to begin the country for its transition toward a liberal democracy and a market economy. Nano was elected Prime Minister in the Parliamentary Elections were held on 31 March 1991 when it was the Labour Party of Albania won the majority. Ramiz Alia appointed Nano for his second time as Premier of Albania. The new administration was not as long the first only a week later, the General Strike organized by the independent unions forced him leave the post a few weeks after. In 1991, the 10th Congress of the Labor Party was held in June of 1991, which made three significant decision-making steps. The first was to change the name of the Labour Party to Socialist Party Then it revoked all members of the Politburo before it appointed Nano to be the next leader of the Socialist Party on 12 June 1991.
