Interventions in Spaç prison, Ministry of Culture reacts: We do not

The Ministry of Economy, Culture and Innovation has reacted to the ongoing debate regarding the interventions being made in the Spaç prison building.

MEKI states that the interventions are not intended to modify historical memory, but to restore the building which, according to them, has degraded to the extreme.

"Recently, an unnecessary "smokescreen" has been created regarding the former Spaç prison, ignoring not only the extreme physical degradation but also fabricating fables about "distortion of historical memory" or "scams" for the sake of a film, which is misinforming, but also malicious in essence.

For all those truly concerned about the fate of this place, a symbol of national memory, and about the allusions and anathemas expressed, we clarify some important facts:

For more than three years, director Namik Ajazi, together with writer Visar Zhiti, himself a political prisoner and witness to that reality, have been undertaking an ambitious film project, which aims to bring to the screen one of the most important events of the anti-communist resistance in Albania: the Spaç Prisoners' Revolt in May 1973.

"The interventions are not intended to modify the historical memory, on the contrary, they are carefully thought out to preserve and enrich it. At the beginning of the works, signs of rehabilitation were visible, but they are integrated and harmonized through scenographic and restoration techniques, resembling as closely as possible the original state of the time ," the ministry states.
