Residents of the village of Kaçinar in Mirdita are protesting against the construction of the HPP in the area and are publicly denouncing the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy for granting the project permit, also requesting the intervention of the prosecution with investigations based on the criminal complaint, as they consider it a violation of the law by local and central officials.

Gathered today (May 2) in front of the MEI building, they shouted "Water is life, don't dry our souls" and "No black hand on white Mirdita". 

"They want to steal our water, the most precious human asset. We have no information whatsoever. The residents were not informed about the permit, which is illegal. The competent bodies should investigate, it is in violation of the law. We have informed all institutions to stop this project and the construction of the HPP," said, among other things, the organizers of the protest and the residents of Kaçinari.

According to them, there is even a criminal complaint in this case against the mayor and the owner of the concession company, and they "must be held accountable before the law and justice."

They also called on Minister Belinda Balluku to act according to the law and stop and cancel the permit, as well as suspend the works of the HPP. They also held the DP mayor of Mirdita, Albert Mëlyshi, responsible for allowing this project.
