Chatin Sarachi - Sarachi As A Politician

Sarachi As A Politician

Already, at a very early age, Sarachi was known to be a very close friend of the King. In communicating to Him (Zog), Chatin calls himself as:" ex best friend". It is this friendship that characterized the antagonistic, political arena of that time, to transform this Zog-Sarachi co-operation into an indissoluble and symbiotic relation and even to imply an unproved and shameful involvement of the name of Chatin Sarachi in Luigj Gurakuqi's murderer.

Sarachi, among his many writings, left a statement about the King Ahmet Zog the First, published in Albania in the year 2006. The typewriting entitled: ”The story of a bad man”, was left in the safe of a bank in London, from where it has been taken and translated into Albanian.

In his writings, Sarachi, among other things, speaking to King Zog, states:

"Your callings about our old friendship show that your conscience and its nibbles are at work. Independently from your legal business, you began your reign by killing patriots and by selling your own country. Alessandro Lessona (Minister of Mussolini's government), a friend of mine at the time, paid to you more than 4 million English Pounds from 1925 to 1931. Even I had the right to act, I never asked for my part. That money, as anyone in Albania knows, have been washed by the blood of patriots as Bajram Curri, Hasan Prishtina, Luigj Gurakuqi, and thousand of them. The money, you are living with today, are the product of the lowest betrayal and are washed by the tears and the sufferings of a whole nation, the nation you sold, you Albania Judas! I know each dark corner of your soul, not a single event of your reign that I ignore. From your cottage in the mountains, where you were born, you came to live in luxurious castles around Europe. But the nibbling of your conscience that twice brought you so close to the grave, still lives with you in the luxurious rooms. Your gunned gangsters can protect your body but, for sure, they can not protect you dark and poor soul. The friend and enemies you have ordered to kill still flatter around you night and day wherever you try to go. The shadows of more than 1 million chained Albanians run after you, calling your name. Thousand of Albanians dead, for the freedom of their country, can not live you alone."
