Ymer Dishnica, 1947

Ymer Dishnica (born February 21, 1912 in Dishnica , Korça district , † September 22, 1998 ) was an Albanian politician of the Labor Party of Albania , who was president of the People's Assembly between 1946 and 1947 .

Life

Dishnica began after attending the French-speaking Lyceum in Korça in 1932 to study medicine at the University of Lyon , which he continued at the University of Paris . In 1941 he completed his studies with a focus on pathology . After his return to Albania in 1941, he joined the communist Korça group as an opponent of the Italian occupiers . On November 8, 1941, he was one of the participants in the founding congress of the Communist Party of Albania PKSh (Partia Komuniste e Shqipërisë) in Tirana and was already one of the leaders of the communist movement in 1942/1943.

On August 2, 1943, Dishnica was head of the PKSh delegation at the signing of the Mukja Agreement , through which the joint armed anti-fascist resistance with the national Albanian movement Balli Kombëtar was decided. Together with Mustafa Gjinishi , he agreed to a compromise with this rival movement, which he was later accused of. In May 1944, at the Përmet Congress (Kongresi i Përmetit), he was elected a member of the Anti-Fascist Council for National Liberation (Këshilli Antifashist Nacional-Çlirimtar) , a transitional parliament that met in Berat from October 20-23.

In October 1944 Dishnica was appointed by Prime Minister Enver Hoxha as the first minister for public health (Ministri i Shëndetësisë) and held this office until 1946. He then succeeded Tuk Jakova as chairman of the people's assembly (Kuvendi Popullor) in 1946 and exercised this function up to his replacement by Manush Myftiu in 1947.

During the subsequent Stalinist party purges in Albania , Dishnica was denounced in 1947 and expelled from the Communist Party. The main reason was to sign the Mukja Agreement, although he was not imprisoned. He then withdrew from political life and subsequently worked as a doctor and medical lecturer in Tirana. On January 2, 1950, however, he was banished from Tirana and had to settle with his family in Berat, where he became director of the Public Health Office. He also worked as a doctor in Berat.

In the course of further party purges, Dishnica was charged with agitation and propaganda in 1955 and sentenced to six years' imprisonment. As early as 1956 he was released from prison due to the intervention of his uncle Esat Dishnica. However, he was only able to return to Tirana in 1995. In 1998, shortly before his death, he was elected chairman of the veterans' organization.
