Dozens of citizens gathered this Thursday in Poliçan to protest against the plan to merge their municipality as part of the new Territorial Reform.

"You took our children away, now you want to wipe us off the map," read one of the banners held by protesters, who demand that Poliçan remain a separate municipality.

The most culminating moment of the protest was the public resignation of the chairman of the Socialist Party in Poliçan, Erjon Zylyftari, who declared to the citizens that the decision to affect the municipality constitutes "an injustice and a great shame."

Immediately after this action, as a sign of protest and dissatisfaction, some citizens burned their Socialist Party membership cards in the square.

In protest against the plan to merge the Municipality of Poliçan with Berat as part of the new Territorial Reform, protesters also set fire to the text of the proposal for the new territorial division.

At the end of the rally, residents signed a petition, through which they request that the Municipality of Poliçan not be included in the changes proposed by the Territorial Reform.

According to the draft for Territorial Reform 2.0, submitted to the Assembly by the Socialist Party, the Municipality of Poliçan is expected to be merged and joined with the Municipality of Berat. This change is part of the plan to reduce the number of municipalities in Albania from 61 to 46.

The mayor of Poliçan, Adriatik Zotkaj, has also expressed reservations against this proposal, stating that the merger of small municipalities will lead to the depopulation of cities.

Residents insist that Poliçan should continue to function as a separate municipality and oppose its inclusion in the Municipality of Berat.
