Prime Minister Edi Rama, during his farewell speech for former Prime Minister Fatos Nano, said that when he first heard the news of Nano\u2019s illness, he never imagined he would one day see him in a coffin.<\/p>\n
He looked back in time, recalling how they had shared bread together and how he himself had been \u201cadopted\u201d by the Socialist Party. At the end of his remarks, Rama said that he was not saying goodbye, but rather, \u201cMay you never die, Fatos Nano.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDear Fatos,<\/span><\/p>\n I will miss those rare friendly dinners, our communication like that between the first shift\u2019s driver and the second shift\u2019s driver of the same car \u2014 where we understood each other without words, and when we faced some strategic dilemma, your advice always came clear and refined, helping me greatly to put the dot over the \u2018i\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n And when I think about what kind of four-wheeled Soviet vehicle you took over on your first shift, and what a much better car I received from you on the second, to turn the Socialist Party into the speed brand for a European Albania that it is today \u2014 it comes to me quite naturally not to say farewell, but simply: may you never die, Fatos Nano,\u201d Rama said.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Prime Minister Edi Rama, during his farewell speech for former Prime Minister Fatos Nano, said that when he first heard the news of Nano\u2019s illness, he never imagined he would one day see him in a coffin.
