Vasil Ilia tells the investigative show "Stop" that his 89-year-old mother has been sick and paralyzed for 8 years. Since he is not finding a lady to take care of the old woman, Vasili has come from Greece to take her with him and gives his mother an identity card. He barely manages to get his mother to the Allied offices. Now that he has to take his passport to the police, he can no longer take his mother to pick her up.
Complainant: I turn to your show because I have problems with my mother, she is 89 years old, she is paralyzed, there is no one to take care of her. I came from Greece to find a nurse to take care of my mother because the ones I had ran out, so I stayed here for 8 months living by myself and serving her. However, I am old and I need help myself. I am 66 years old. I thought to take it with me, but they don't give me my passport. Initially, I applied to the Allied offices, for the card and for the passport. I took the card, took my mother with big scars. 2 guys picked him up, brought him here on the road and I took him.
In fact, the 89-year-old lives in a building located in Laprakë, in Unit No. 11, with parking in front and brambles left uncut by public services.
Complainant: The municipality has put a sign here that says "parking is allowed". I called the municipal police and the traffic police and presented the problem to them, and they told me that "we have no competence because the municipality allows them". I asked him the question "if there is a fire in the building, where will the fire brigade go?". They were stuck there, they didn't know how to answer. 8 months that I have been here, these cars have not moved a day.
Journalist: In addition to the physical difficulties created by these obstacles in your palace, you also have other obstacles because you cannot move your mother.
Complainant: I can't move it. I moved him once to take him to "Aleati" which is near here and he got worse. "Aleati" is in Laprakë, while the Police is in Tirana.
Journalist: Now, to withdraw your passport, you have to go to...?
Complainant: To the Police of Tirana and that is impossible. They told me that I should make a special prosecutor. I didn't do it because I have economic problems because I live only with my mother's pension. It doesn't matter to you, dead or alive, I have to take the mother there so that she can put her finger on it.
The journalist of "Stop" went to the apartment of the elderly woman, Panaja Ilias, and she was lying on the bed, unable to get up.
Nëna: Jam shumë e sëmurë. Nuk lëviz. 18 vjet që jam në krevat dhe nuk ngrihem dot. Ika herën e parë, atje rashë me gjithë karrocë, u vrava unë e u vra dhe ai djali që më mbante. Kërkoj nga policia, por nuk po vjen njeri. Nuk kam me kë të ngrihem e të shkoj. Djalin e kam sakat me një veshkë, me tension. Ai mbeti me mua gjithë ditën. Unë duhet të lahem, duhet të ha, të gjitha i bën ai, nuk kam njeri tjetër. Po të marr pasaportë, do të shkoj tek djali. Atje kujdesen e gjithë familja.
Denoncuesi: Ju lutem shumë më ndihmoni që ta marr e të iki prej këtej. Po ta marr pasaportën, do të iki.
Për këtë problematikë, gazetarja e “Stop” flet me drejtorin e Policisë Tiranë, Tonin Vocaj dhe ky i fundit pasi bisedon dhe me “Aleat”, zgjidh në mënyrë administrative rastin.
Gazetarja: Si kalove? Odeta jam, gazetarja e “Stop”.
Tonin Vocaj: Hë Odeta, a je mirë?
Gazetarja: Mirë jam unë, por dua që të më ndihmosh për një rast. Këtu në Laprakë, të një 89-vjeçareje që nuk lëviz nga vendi sepse ka 8 vite në karrocë invaliditeti, është e vetme në shtëpi. Ka ardhur djali i vet nga Greqia ta marrë me vete. Ka bërë të gjithë ato precedura, por kur duhej të paraqitej zonja tek “Aleati”, e ka marrë zonjën me makinë, e ka transportuar dhe është ndjerë shumë keq. Është pajisur me kartë identiteti. Ka probleme me pasaportën tani sepse duhet të paraqitet tek Policia e Tiranës.
Tonin Vocaj: I është prodhuar pasaporta ë?
Journalist: The idea is that I can't bring it. I saw it myself. In addition to being sick and disabled, the lady is also overweight.
Tonin Vocaj: He sent me the data by message. Good?
Journalist: OK, thank you.
"Stop" hands over the passport to the son and the old woman.
Complainant: I received the passport, I wish you health and success in your work, thank you very much and you have made a "bridge across the sea" for me today. May you always have success and health.
Mother: Good luck to you, son. Be 100 years old. Don't see my troubles. I am very happy and may God give you happiness. Thank you very much. God give you strength and all good.
