Shehu VII cabinet
The Cabinet Shehu VII was a government of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania , which on 27 December 1978 by Prime Minister Mehmet Shehu of the Albanian Party of Labor PPSh (Partia e Pune's e Shqipërisë) was formed. It replaced Shehu VI's cabinet and remained in office until Shehu's death on December 18, 1981, after which the previous First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Adil Çarçani, initially temporarily took over the office of head of government. On January 15, 1982, after the alleged suicide of Mehmet Shehu, the Çarçani I cabinet was formed .
The government reshuffle followed the parliamentary elections on November 12, 1978. It remained unchanged from the previous government with numerous changes of ministers. On April 26, 1980 there was a reshuffle in several important posts:
- The longtime Interior Minister Kadri Hazbiu took over the Ministry of Defense in April 1980, which Shehu himself headed for a long time.
- The Ministry of the Interior went to Feçor Shehu , a nephew of Mehmet Shehu.
- The new Minister for Industry and Mining was Prokop Murra, replacing Xhafer Spahiu .
- Kristaq Dollaku has been replaced by Esma Ulqinaku in the Ministry of Light and Food Industry .
In July 1980, a ministry for local economy was added under Rrapo Dervishi .
A year after his death, Mehmet Shehu was denounced by Enver Hoxha as a long-time agent of several foreign secret services. Hoxha had already expressed harsh criticism in the party leadership shortly before. To date, the official version of the suicide has been questioned but has not been refuted.
